So I am looking for the father of the remaining children attached here, I think is the issue?

Or rather parents of:
Anthony Waddy
Catherine "Caty" Thompson
Anne Elizabeth Tate
Anne Elizabeth Tate since the daughter herein should be Ann Mrs Nelson Thomson if the KY source is correct
Sarah Anderson because Sarah Anderson did not survive to marry and have children if KY Hx source is correct

Nelson Anderson Thomson, Sr. is the man named as husband of Ann Waddy

He has a possible duplicate Anderson Thomson

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/collaborate/LT74-JW8 says

It is believed that Samuel Waddy married Ann --- and they had a son, Anthony Waddy, named as the custom was, for the first born to be named after his grandfather.”
And also “A Waddy family bible that shows a Samuel Waddy that was born in 1653 or 54 and his children listed as
Anthony Waddy 1680,
Samuel Waddy jr. 1684
Jane Waddy 1684 (that married William Street),
Mary Waddy born June 1, 1687,
Elizabeth Waddy born Oct 1689, and
Judith Waddy born Jan 1701.”

Presently have three wives attached while working out the kinks-- again:
Husband of NN Waddy (Lockyear); Ann Waddy (Craighill) and Sarah Waddy (Owen)

So maybe one Samuel and more than one wife/family????

Looking for the Bible

Is Anthony Waddy the witness?
Is he the son in the Bible?
Is he not inheriting because he already received his portion?

Judith Jones Likely predeceased everyone?

Judith may belong here: Anthony Waddy

I am almost done!\
This Samuel had/has been confused/conflated mixed up with a Samuel who did NOT leave a will and also a man of similar name in New Jersey.

Samuel Waddy, of Hanover, VA did not leave a will.

Please check your relationships.
Most people will still be descended from the original Anthony who came to Virginia in 1633

I am no longer a COMPLETE subscriber to MyHeritage so I cannot remove the Fillae or the GenealogieOnline Family Tree Index Smart Matches that were confirmed.
Please remove them whoever is able?
