| Notes |
Elizabeth Sanders is present in Caswell Co. by 1786, when she purchased a tract of land from John Harben. Caswell Co. Deed Book E, p. 152. A 1788 deed from Shearwood Nance to Lewis Pike refers to widow Sanders, who is believed to be Elizabeth. Caswell Co.Deed Book F, pp. 277-78. Elizabeth Sanders appears in the Caswell Co census in 1800 (pg. 148) living adjacent to Aaron Sanders, who is believed to be her son. Her age is given as more than 45. Thus, she must have been born prior to 1755 and likely much earlier. She is not listed in the 1810 census, but is referred to in a deed recorded in 1812. The date of the deed is the recording date, so it is possible that the deed was made before 1810. It seems likely based on deed records that Mason, Aaron, Taylor, and Smith are her children. Also, it seems likely that James Sanders who appears in the census in 1830, 1840 and 1850 is her son. There is probably one more male child who I have not yet identified.
