      There are other William Andersons, but the fact that these three are in the same area seems important to me.

      1830 Botetourt, VA 256
      Anderson, Alexander
      3m 0-5 George, John, ?
      1m 5-10 William
      1m 10-15
      1m 40-50
      2f 5-10 Barbara?
      1f 10-15 Margaret
      1f 40-50

      1840 Jackson, VA
      Alexander Anderson
      3m 10-15 (b 1825-1830) John, George, & ?
      1m 15-20 (b 1820-1825)
      1m 20-30 (b 1810-1820) John Casto?
      1m 40-50 (b 1790-1800) Alexander
      1f 5-10 (b 1830-1835) Mary "Polly"?
      1f 15-20 (b 1820-1825) Martha m. 1842????
      2f 20-30 (b 1810-1820) Margaret??, Susan??
      1f 60-70 (b 1770-1780) Catherine - or her mother, Susanna Rhodes?
      This probably includes John McDade Casto and Margaret since they aren't listed alone and all of John J Casto's household is accounted for - no females of Margaret's age there anyhow. William & Elizabeth are enumerated separately but it could be they were here as well, then moved out and were counted again.

      William Anderson was listed on 1840, age 20-30.
