Phil and Kathy Campbell are researching James Sanderson line.He is starting a newsletter on the Sanderson/Campbell lines.929 Cameron St., Pontiac, MI48340,248-373-9594,e-mail:pcambel@tir.com Kathy Smierciak (4827 Montcalm Court, Fort Wayne, IN46835-4478 keps1@aol.com)
says there is a James Sanderson, Sr. on the tax lists for Adams County, OH, for 1806, 1807, 1808, 1809, and 1810.She also thinks James may have had a brother named Alexander who died in 1805 and had a widow named Margaret.This Alexander lived in Highland County, OH, which is next to Adams and Clinton Counties.He supposedly emigrated from Pennsylvania to Kentucky and then moved to Ross County (next to Fayette) in 1801.This area became part of Highland County in 1807.He left five children, the eldest being William.Another son was name J.C.
From Kathy Smierciak,KEPS1@aol.com
I have found mixed information about James Sanderson.Just starting research to try and locate James Sanderson in PA and KY. He came to Adams Co. OH and then to Fayette Co. OH. He may have had a brother, Alexander Sanderson, who settled in Highland Co. OH, but died around 1801. Alexander'sgrandson later gave historical info in "History of Ross and Highland Counties" on page 443 that said Alexander came from Scotland and settled first in PA, then KY, then came to Ross Co. OH where he soon died and his will was the first one probated in that county. James Sanderson, Sr. died about 1841. I have a copy of his will. His son, Alexander, died in 1840 according to wife, Mary, on her pension application (war of 1812). There seems to be no probate record for this Alexander, nor for his wife, Mary.
INFORMATION FROM MARLYN HOWARD WILT, famtrees@juno.com
He believes that James Sanderson came with a McKillip family from VA/NC via KY, thence into OH.He spent 3 weeks in Ireland and is convinced he did not come from County Cork, but sailed from County Cork.He believes he was probably from County Cavan or near that region, a part of which is now in Northern Ireland.He also says a Dr. Wm Sanderson 1825-1866 was a Union Civil War surgeon in Iowa and Missouri.He died in Union County, OH.He is a son of James Sanderson (a 2nd James) and Sarah Barbara(y) Newman.
Have picture of his tombstone:James Sanderson, Senior, died Jan 30 1841.Aged about 79 years.

Sheila Heaton, shotglassshelly@yahoo.com
Diane Glodoski, idabdian@inpress.ent
Karen Conley klconley@webtv.net
says (4/02) she's found James on the tax lists in Boubon County, KY in the late 1700's and on the tax lists in Adams County, OH in 1805, 1806, 1807, 1808, 1809, 1810.
NOTE FROM KAREN CONLEY(klconley@webtv.net)
While I can't be 100 percent certain that the James Sanderson on the tax list in Bourbor County, KY, is our James Sanderson, I feel almost certain that this is him, as living very close to him is William Moorman. Supposedly, William Moorman married Mary Sanderson in KY, then they and the Sandersons traveled north to Ohio.James Sanderson, Sr., is on the tax lists in Adams County, OH, for the years 1805, 1806, 1807, 1808, 1809, 1810.All of William and Mary Moorman's children were born in Adams County, including my ggg grandfather, Thomas Moorman, who stated in his military record that he was born in Adams County, but shaved ten years off his age in order to be able to enlist.
Karen Conley has also come across an Alexander Sanderson who died in Ross County, OH, in 1805.Could be James' brother.
