Robert Sanderlin married Mary Waff 3 May 1764 in Chowan Co, NC.
The bondsman was Smith Waff.Mary Waff was probably daughter of William Smith Waff who signed the Oath of Allegiance in 1777, Edenton.In 1757 Smith Waff gave bond in Chowan Co for marriage of Samuel Luten and Elizabeth Ford. 19 Nov, 1757. (Ref. Family Records by Bailey & Staples)Camden County Records:F-197: Robert Sanderlin in his will dated 1778 names his sons Joseph and Benjamin.11 Dec 1792–Joseph Sanderlin releases all claim to land after the death of Benjamin Sanderlin to Samuel Ferebee. F-198A-38 Camden Co, NC – 25 July 1777 Robert Sanderlin Jr bought land from Joseph White 30A.The North Carolina Chronicle: Monday October 25, 1790
A proclamation from the secretary at war of specie due the officers of the North Carolina line, for arrears of subsistance for the months of January, February, March and April, 1783, taken from Mr. Ebenezer Jackson’s settlement. Included is the name Robert Sanderlin $36.60.

1790 census shows
Benjamin Sanderlin 1 male over 16, 1 male under sixteen, two females.
Joseph Sanderlin 1 male over 16.

from a comment from Carol 2015 .  (I think they may be Benjamin’s children. Sally)
Robert Sandilands/Sanderlin/Sandlin born about 1790, died 1864 is my fourth great grandfather. He married Elizabeth Hicks in 1822. The marriage was in Camden County, Georgia. They promptly moved to Spanish territory in what was the Benton area of the Saint Mary’s River, Suwannee River, and Alapaha Rivers. They established a substantial plantation there. This plantation adjoined the Turner family plantation. Robert Sanderlin fought the Seminole Indians.
It seems that Robert had a sister named Tabitha. She married a Roberts.

  1. Troy Otis Sanderlin is my husband. His grandfather was Tritus Olinthus Sanderlin. Great grandfather was Edmond D Sanderlin. It has been posted incorrectly in your information. Thank you for all the work you have done on his family. It has been so helpful.

      1. You have Troy listed as Edmond’s son. Edmond was his great grandfather. Tritus Olinthus Sanderlin was his grandfather, then Ernest Addison was his father. Troy & I have a son named Jason and daughter Holly.
