Matthew's occupation: Banker. Matthew became the father of Kate B. Anderson in Jackson Co., MO. At 42 years of age Matthew became the father of Nellie Anderson in Independence, MO, 1879. At 54 years of age Matthew became the father of Henry Clay Anderson in Independence, MO, 1891. Matthew became the father of George Anderson in Independence, MO, circa 1893. At 58 years of age Matthew became the father of Matthew William Anderson in Independence, MO, June 24, 1895. His biography from Encyclopedia of the History of Missouri, Vol. 1, Howard L. Conard, Editor, 1901, follows: Anderson, Matthew William, banker, was born December 20, 1836, on the farm of his father, four miles from Independence, Missouri. His parents were George W. and Sally (Stewart) Anderson, both of whom were natives of Kentucky and members of splendid Southern families, whose records for thrift and integrity are spotless. They were married in Kentucky and removed to Missouri in 1836, the year M. W. Anderson was born. They located on the acres that composed the old homestead for so many years, near Independence, and played no small part in the wonderful transformation which caused Western Missouri to blossom from a pioneer wilderness into luxurious cultivation during their years. The son was left upon his own resources early in life, on account of the death of his father, but proved equal to the stern task before him. He received a common school education in the schools of Jackson County, and had a good, practical preparation for the numerous undertakings which were to combine in making his life successful. In 1860 he was elected constable of Blue Township, in Jackson County, defeating six opponents in a race that was hotly contested. In those days the office of constable was equally renumerative with the office of sheriff. It was ably filled by the young man until the edict went forth that officeholders must take the "Gamble oath." That order having been promulgated and Mr. Anderson being unwilling to swear against convictions which came from Southern blood, he gave up the office. In 1862 he went to New Mexico and engaged in the business of overland freighting, in the employ of Irvin, Jackman & Co. He followed that line of work for about six months. After returning to Missouri he became deputy sheriff of Jackson County, in 1868, under Charles Dougherty, and served in that capacity until 1870. Between the time of his return from New Mexico and his acceptance of the office of deputy sheriff he engaged in farming in Jackson County. The Democratic party nominated him for collector of Jackson County, but his first race was followed by defeat, James L. Gray being elected. His second candidacy was successful, however, and in 1872 he was elected collector by a large majority. The oath of office was taken in 1873 and he served as collector four years. During this time, having prospered in financial affairs, he was a silent partner in the banking house of Brown, Hughes & Co., paid considerable attention to the raising of fine stock and looked after a large ranch which he had purchased in New Mexico. When the Anderson-Chiles Banking Company of Independence was organized he was made president of the concern, and for several years it was one of the strongest private banking houses in western Missouri. In 1889 this bank was nationalized and Mr. Anderson was chosen president. Since that time he has been president of this strong establishment, which is known as the First National Bank, and his reputation as a careful, successful business man is firmly established. Mr. Anderson has large property holdings which require much attention, and not all of his time is devoted to the banking business. He is one of the most prominent dealers in fine cattle in Missouri, and his splendid herd of Bates shorthorns which graze on the pastures of his four hundred acre farm near Independence is considered the standard of its kind. In addition to the office of county collector Mr. Anderson received other honors from the people of his community, serving for eighteen years as a member of the city council of Independence. He is a member of the Episcopal Church and holds the office of senior warden in Trinity Church, Independence. He was married, in 1861 to Miss Julia Daniel, of Jackson County, Missouri. To them two children, daughters, were born. Mrs. Anderson died in 1888. The husband was the second time married in 1892, his bride being Miss Mary W. Ervin, daughter of Colonel Eugene Ervin, of Lexington, Kentucky. Colonel Ervin was a grandson of the distinguished Kentucky statesman, Henry Clay, and of such noble ancestry Mrs. Anderson and her two bright sons, Henry Clay and Matthew William, have reason to be proud.

At 39 years of age John became the father of James Robeson Anderson November 24, 1799. At 43 years of age John became the father of John F. Anderson in Kentucky, November 13, 1803. At 46 years of age John became the father of Matthew William Anderson June 1807. At 50 years of age John became the father of George W. Anderson in Montgomery Co., KY, September 3, 1810. At 54 years of age John became the father of Robert S. P. Anderson in Kentucky, November 20, 1814. John Anderson is listed in the 1808 tax list of Montgomery County, KY as John (Irish) Anderson to distinguish him from other John Andersons in the County. Based on this slim evidence I believe he was born in Ireland. He owned 70 acres on Harper's Branch of Lulbegrud Creek. He was first taxed for this land in the 1805 tax list. He may have been the John Anderson who owned 100 acres on Brush Creek in previous years. I can't determine John's time of arrival in Kentucky. Efforts to trace him back to other states have not been successful. It is probable he emigrated from Ireland directly to Kentucky. What kinship, if any, he had to the numerous other Andersons in the area is unknown. No parents or siblings are known.

20. James3 Robeson birth date unknown.
He married Unknown. Unknown became the mother of Mary Robeson March 20, 1772.
James became the father of Mary Robeson March 20, 1772. I believe the father of Mary Robeson (1772-1847) who married John Anderson is James Robeson as their oldest son was named James Robeson Anderson. There is a James Robeson listed in the 1797 tax list for Montgomery County, KY with one male white over 21 and 8 horses. The 1797 tax list was the first one for Montgomery County. This I believe to be the James Robeson who was the father of Mary Robeson. There is no James Robeson listed in the 1793, 1794 and 1795 tax lists for Clark County and no James Robeson listed in the 1799 tax list for Montgomery County. I feel pretty mystified about James and have no other information available.
