John and Elizabeth Wilson Anderson came to the U.S. in 1765. They had a son Robert Anderson born on May 2, 1776 in Pennsylvania. His son was Moses Thomas Anderson. Moses’s son was John Calvin Anderson. J.B. Anderson was his son. Much of this family settled along the Allegheny River in Pennsylvania. I am a direct descendant. Robert T. Anderson of Atlantic City, Iowa was my great-grandfather. He was married to Agnes Duncan Low(e) Anderson who was born in Tarves, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. My grandfather was Robert Bruce Anderson of Albin, Wyoming. My father was Wayne Duncan Anderson. It looks like the Robert Anderson (b. 1776) buried at Bull Creek Cemetery is the man You’re looking for. His wife’s name is correct by my records.
Thanks Carol,
And it was nice to meet your sister Cindy. [See “Introduction: Anderson.”] We’ll re-establish the Martha-Robert relationship soon.
