Notes for ROBERT ANDERSON:

Robert Anderson, son of Robert and Elizabeth (Clark) Anderson, was born in New Jersey in March, 1776, died in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, November 11, 1836. As a young man he left his birth-place and moved to Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. His trade was that of Silversmith and for many years the firm of Anderson & Hutchison, jewelers and clockmakers, bore a worthy reputation in that locality, some old time pieces marked with their name still are to be found in Allegheny County. He became prominent in the public life of the County, and was elected to the office of sheriff in 1808, his commission for a term of three years bearing the signature of Governor McKean. Backed by a successful administration as sheriff, he became a candidate for the state legislature, and was twice elected to this body from Allegheny County. In 1825 he moved to what was then known as Sewickley Bottom, now Leetsdale, and was there at the time of his death. He was a gentleman who won distinction through the merits of his personal attributes, untrained and untutored as they were, for the benefits of liberal education had been a privilege beyond his grasp. He possessed, however, qualities that mere erudition fails to bring, a resolute will, a mind wise and understanding, and a character that well supported such talents, and in public life his colleagues and opponents alike found him firm and unbending when striving for the right or protecting a weaker cause. He married (first) Elizabeth Agnew, (second) Jemima Taylor, who died September 1, 1864. Children of his first marriage: Samuel, Robert, Eliza, Brice Clark. Children of his second marriage: Margaret, James, Julia, Hettie, William, David, John Clark, of whom further, and Mary, all deceased with the exception of John Clark.
