| Notes |
- Patriot Robert Anderson was born 12 January 1755 in Lyme, Connecticut, son of Captain Thomas and Margaret (Reed) Anderson.
He is listed in the Lexington Alarm list, April 1775, serving 18 days, and continued his service in General Joseph Spencers 2nd Regiment from May 8th through December of that year. In a deposition for pension, dated 15 August 1832, the deposition states that in September 1776, he “marched with the company to which he belonged along the towns upon Long Island Sound…to aid in the defence of New York.” The deposition goes on to indicate three additional periods of service, in April 1777, August or September of 1778 and finally, in September 1781.
He married Anna Hungerford, daughter of Green and Elizabeth Hungerford, on 7 May 1776 in East Haddam on his return from the Lexington Alarm, and the day before his service in the 2nd Regiment. Evidence is found for six children born to this couple from 1778 through 1795. He died 4 February 1833 in East Haddam, at age 78. A pension was paid on the month after his death, in the amount of $100.00, for his combined 12 months service as a Private. In records related to his estate, dated 7 June 1833, his daughter Anna deeded 15 acres to her brother Reed. Also of note in the land record is Anna’s brother Wells. Anna Anderson married Salmon Cone, son of James Cone, in 1797 and located to Painesville, Ohio about 1818; her brother Reed married Sophia Fox about 1817, and remained in East Haddam.
