     ?ROBERT SAUNDERS Tentative. NB. The problem here is proving that this Robert is father of our James Sr. The logic proceeds as follows: As shown below, John is clearly Robert's son. Then it is argued that John and James Sr must be brothers (see arguments in Text for John).

The Robert Saunders Family Group Sheet by Teresa Wilson Wiese cites the following:

"OTHER SPELLINGS OF NAME: Sanders

"SOURCES FOR PARENTAGE: Robert was the son of John and Sarah Saunders as proven by the two 1766 deeds (f), and will of his father (e)

"SOURCES FOR BIRTH AND DEATH: Date of birth is an estimate. Date of death is believed to be shortly after the 1766 deeds (a), though this is not known for certain. No other mention of Robert has been found after 1766. [Mrs. King believes he may have been living with his son John in Halifax Co. at the time of the above deeds (a)]

"SOURCES FOR MARRIAGE: Miss Spratley is believed to be his wife per the will of a John Spratley that mentions his granddaughter, Mary Saunders, Daughter of Robert Saunders. (See source (c))

...

"PLACES OF RESIDENCE: Robert was probably born in York Co. since his father was there in 1677. Robert was still in York in 1711 and referred to as "Mr. Robert Saunders of Williamsburg", York Co, Virginia in his father-in-law's will in 1728. The two deeds in 1766 imply he was in Halifax Co. Virginia at that time. (see below)

NOTES:
According to EARLY SETTLERS OF ALABAMA by Co. J.E. Saunders, this John was the son of Edward. Note the following from EARLY SETTLERS...:

"John Saunders, planter (1677) of Hampton Pa., York county, Constable in 1677 (succeeding William Wade). Surveyor of highways, with Henry Lee and John Cosby, 1682; patented land in Goochland, 1690; progenitor of the Hyde-Saunders and Williamsburg-Saunders line; (will proved 1700; large estate). Married Sarah, daughter of Peter Hargreave, who died 1684, and his estate divided (1685) by Robert Booth, Wm. Clopton and John Mihill (prominent men of York) between John Saunders (the administrator) and Robert Roberts, who married Mary, the other daughter of Peter Hargreave. Robert Roberts d.105 (his son, Robert Roberts, was sheriff, 1712. --Records) Children mentioned in above will (1700):
Christable, "now wife of Samuel Waddem"--John, Edward, Robert, George, Hargreave, Peter, Sarah, and Susannah Saunders.
Of these, John and Edward Saunders made a deed (1707) to William Barber, gent, which John's wife Mary, also signed: George and Robert Saunders "acknowledged" a debt (1711) to William Timson, who was a large merchant; and Hargreave Saunders (with guardian Henry Atkinson) was not of age in 1712. (Records) The son John Saunders, married (before 1707) Mary, daughter of Robert Hyde (d.1718)...."

The follinw is from WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE QUARTERLY. HISTORICAL MAGAZINE. VOL.XIV p.145:

"JOHN SAUNDERS lived in York Co., Virginia, and his will was proved Feb. 24, 1700. It disposes of a large estate in money, slaves, and land. issue named in the will 2Christabel, wife of Samuel Waddow; 3John; 4Edward; 5 Robert; 6George; 7Hargrave; 8Peter; 9Sarah; 10 Susannah. There is a deed recorded in Yorktown from John and Edward Saunders, in 1707, disposing of land to William Barber, "inherited from their mother, Mary Risle, daughter of John Risle," but reserving "the burial place of their mother and father, forty feet square." It is probable that the other children were by a second wife, a daughter of Peter Hargrave."

     SARAH HARGRAVE Cited by Teresa Wilson Wiese in Family Group Sheet:

"SOURCES FOR BIRTH AND DEATH: source of date of death is based on date of inventory of Sarah's estate. (from source (a))

...

Mr. Fletcher King writes that Sarah married Henry Atkinson after the death of John Saunders. "On 24 Sept 1701 a mar contr betw Sarah Sanders wd of John to Henry Adkinson (Atkinson) found in Goochland Co. VA." She also writes "Henry Atkinson was early in Hanover Co VA records & it's probably his will there as none else where. Hanover Co. records all burned."
She write in another letter that there was a document, an intent to get married betw Sarah and Henry in York Co. VA. Evidently the marriage contract is in York County Virginia, and they later move to Goochland Co. VA.

...

WILL: Sarah's inventory was recorded in Goochland Co., VA. in 1730.
