Soldiers from Dorchester, Mass. in the Canada expedition of 1690, with a list of settlers or Grantees to the town of Ashburnham, Mass. [In the year 1690, a large company of soldiers was raised in Dorcehster, to embark in the Canada expedition. Forty-six of this company, it is supposed, never returned; many of them, probably, perished at sea. A list of the entire comapny was found among the papers left by Ebenezer Calp, son of Nathaniel (see Reg. Xv, 225-227), who in 1690, was one of the active citizens of the town. We give the list as printed in the Hist. of Dorchester, p. 256].John Anderson is one of the names.Vol 48, April 1889, p 12, John Farwell Anderson by Rev. George Madison Bodge, East Boston, Mass.
The Anderson name has been respresented by numerous branches in various parts of America since the first settlement. The numbers seem to have been added to by successive emigrations, and especially in the first quarter of the eighteenth century when so many of the Scotch and Scotch-Irish emigrated.The date of the settlement in America of John1 Anderson, the Scotch-Irish immigrant ancestor of the family to which our Mr. Anderson, the subject of this memoir, belonged, is uncertain; he was at Watertown, and married, July 16, 1706, Rebecca Waight. Abraham2 Anderson was born of these parents August 18, 1708. Very little is known of him until he appears at the township of New Marblehead, now Windham, Me. He settled in 1740 among the first of the settlers. The farm which he cleared and improved was near the centre of the settlement, and has always been one of the best in the town; it has descended from father to son in the family, always enlarged and improved. At the time of his coming to New Marblehead, Abraham2 Anderson had a wife, Bathshua, and several children, the oldest being about ten years. Several children were born to them between that time and her death in 1751. The second wife was Mrs. Ann Colin Cloutman, who bore him three sons. This settler was a man of great energy and influence in the development of the new town. The records, both of the church and the town, show that he was foremeost in all movements for the good of the townspeople. After the incorporation of the town, he was the first Representative to the General Court, in 1767 and 1768. He died in 1769, leaving the homestead to his youngest son Abraham3 who possessed much of the energy and ability of his father. His thrift and prudence through a long life added much to the family properity and honor. He married Lucy, daughter of Rev. Peter Thacher Smith, and granddaughter of Rev. Thomas Smith, the first minister of Falmouth, now Portland, and they had seven children.
