General Notes: Husband - Alexander Sanderson

---

He emigrated from Scotland to America, and settled in Middleton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church at Dillsburg, York County, which church is known as "Old Monaughan," because of its antiquity, having been organized previous to 1745.
His will is dated Feb. 20, 1760, proven Dec. 11, 1760, and is on file at Carlisle, PA. In it he appointed Patrick Watson, his brother-in-law, as guardian of his three younger children, James, Margaret and John, who were minors at the time of his death. He also directed that, should his son William die in his minority, the land bequeathed to him in Sherman's Valley should pass to his (William's) brother Alexander. He also appointed his son, George Sanderson, and John Stewart, executors, and these duly

administered his will.

He may have been married before his marriage to Watson.
