• A son of Aaron, in the MacDonald Clan

  John Sanders (b. abt 1630, d. after 1681)
  
  John Sanders is the first member of our Sanders family line in America that can be proven. We have good documentation for John's son Richard down to Jesse Sanders. The documentation on John and Phoebe Sanders is not so clear. What is clearly documented is that John came from England and settled in Nansemond Cty, Va. He and two other people patented 1600 acres of land in 1681 (Nansemond and Isle of Wight, Va). We know that Phoebe was alive in 1706, widow of John Sanders, remarried as Phoebe Curle according to Robert Sanders will. From the dates mentioned in the existing historical documents (will's and land grants) we can estimate that John was probably born abt. 1630.
  
  A direct ancestor of mine was pardoned from an action of notorious rebellion from the royal governor and fined over 2000 pounds of tobacco, in March 1st, 1676 or March 1st, 1677. My direct ancestor had the first civil trial held for rebellion of Bacon's followers. He married my maternal direct ancestor, daughter, Susanna Ravinett. She probably lived with Rolfe, as her father worked with Rolfe and was one of the first census takers in Jamestowne, Virginia in 1623.
  
  As you began to read on this family originates from Jewish ancestry (Deuteronomy 1), verse 9 At that time I said to you, "You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. verse 10 The LORD your God has increased your numbers so that today you are as many as the stars in the sky. verse 11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised! verse 12 But how can I bear your problems and your burdens and your disputes all by myself? verse 13 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you." verse 14 You answered me, "What you propose to do is good." verse 15 So I took the leading men of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them to have authority over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials. verse 16 And I charged your judges at that time: Hear the disputes between your brothers and judge fairly, whether the case is between brother Israelites or between one of them and an alien. verse 17 Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to God. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=5... .
  
  As a perpetual covenant between the Lord God and Israel, the Shabbat sanctifies his people. We pray that all of Israel will be saved and continue to wait for the Messiah (Exodus 20:8-11, 31:13).[nickname]http://www.sandersweb.net/PDF/nan- semond.htm[/nickname]
  
  May you have a blessed Shabot, Thank you.

• I would like thank

  First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has stopped by my page.
  
  I have been a little busy and have had a hard time returning phone calls. I really appreciate you thinking about me.
  
  I am so excited because I am getting Maroon 5 concert tickets. And it makes me happy that I get to go to a concert.
  
  I have been invited to a Sanders Smith family reunion (2007-North Carolina). The gap on my paternal side is very damaging so I am hoping to make a difference. I registered for the fall and I find all of this very flattering and overwhelming.
  
  My favorite Maternal Great Aunt died. So everyone attended her funeral, in Johnston County, North Carolina. She had 3 police cars out in front of the church door.
  
  I have a boyfriend now, and it is taking some adjustment to getting to.
  
  I am in the process of taking my midterm-exams. I got a 80% on my Math level 100 (introduction to algebra and basic mathematics). I am glad that I took the course, there were a few techniques that I was unfamiliar with and so I really glad to be reviewing the course. I also am working on a legal portfolio for another (2nd) Introduction to Paralegal course. I have been amazing and have helped many students out tremendously.
  
  My four year old will be going to school, so I am really excited about that... I have gotten really darker and that's about it...
  
  Well take care and thanks for stopping by....
