Excerpt from Elgel's "Pennsylvania Genealogies")^[2]

"James Anderson was born on November 17, 1678, in Scotland; was educated at Edinburgh, under the care of Principal Stirling. He was ordained by Irvine Presbytery, November 17, 1708, with a view to his settlement in Virginia. He sailed March 6, 1709, and arrived in the Rappahannock on the 22nd of April following; but the condition of affairs not being favorable for introducing any other religion than that of the established Church of England in that Colony, he came northward, and was received by the Presbytery September 20 following. He settled at New Castle, where he was installed pastor in 1713. In 1714, out of regard for the desolate condition of the people in Kent County, he was directed to supply them monthly on a Sabbath, and also to spend a Sabbath at Cedar Creek, in Sussex. In 1716, receiving a call from the first church organization of New York City, he went there and labored with his accustomed zeal and energy; but his strict Presbyterianism and rigid Scottish habits and doctrines were distasteful to the people, and his charge, consequently, did not. prove to be happy or comfortable, and he desired a removal. He was called, September 24, 1726, to Donegal, on the Susquehanna, and accepted. He was installed the last Wednesday in August, 1727. In September, 1729, he gave every fifth Sabbath to the people on Swatara, and joined the congregation of Derry, thus becoming the first settled pastor over that church, until the call to Rev. William Bertram, in 1732. He died July 16, 1740. In the language of Presbytery, " he was high in esteem for circumspection, diligence, and faithfulness as a Christian minister." His name and fame are associated with the early history of the Presbyterian church in America. He was a man of talent, learning, and piety, a graceful and popular preacher—a leader among men. Mr. Anderson was twice married; m., first, February, 1713, Mistress Suit Garland, dau. of Sylvester Garland, of the head of Apoquinimy, Delaware, who d. December 24, 1736, and lies buried in Donegal churchyard, where a large flat stone marks the resting place of herself and her distinguished husband."

Research Notes

See family history letters in profile bio for son William Anderson (1693-abt.1796).

Conflicting vital information in a merge:

• Born before 1678 in Glasgow, Scotland
• Died about 1778 after about age 100 [location unknown]

• Born 17 Nov 1678 in Scotland
• Died about 16 Jul 1740 at about age 61 in Donegal, Lancaster, Pennsylvania

Disputed Parentage

None of the current sources support any heritage of this person. During the last merge a different father, George Anderson, was removed. The parents, John Anderson and Susannah Hamilton are based on This website which shows John Anderson born 1636 as the son of John Anderson born 1636.

Incorrect Relationship

James Anderson-9141 is not the son of James Anderson-13257 or his wife, Sudt Garland-11.

James Anderson married Sudt Garland 5 Dec 1712 in Philadelphia, PA. James and Sudt had eleven children. James Anderson-9141 was born in 1711 in VA and he died in VA. This was before the marriage of James and Sudt in 1712. James Anderson-13257 was only in VA for a few months between April 1709 and Sep 1709. He did not return to Virginia until later in his ministry in 1737 to set up a Presbyterian Church in Opecquan, VA. Afterwards he returned to Donegal where he died in 1740 and was buried.

James and Sudt did have a son, James Anderson-45115 born 1721 who inherited half of his father's estate per the father's will. This son, James is buried in the Donegal Presbyterian Church Cemetery where his parents James and Sudt are also buried.

Could you remove James Anderson-9141 from the relationship as son of James Anderson and Sudt Garland.

From at least six sources from a history of James Anderson-13257 about his ministry and his family.

James Anderson Anderson-13257 arrived in Virginia in April 1709 and left for New England and settled in New Castle, Delaware Sep 1709. In 1717 he became the first pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of New York City. In 1726 he accepted a call to Donegal, Pennsylvania. in 1737 he went to Opecquan, VA to set up a Presbyterian Church and returned to Donegal where he died in 1740.

James had two wives.

5 Dec 1712 in Philadelphia, James married Sudt Garland-11 with whom he had eleven children.

He married a second wife was Rebecca Crawford-6239 27 Dec 1737 in Donegal a year after Sudt's death. They had no children. In his will James asks Rebecca to care for his youngest son, Thomas as her own.

^[29]

Moses Kirk’s transfer of his land to his sons on 22 Nov 1796. Moses had purchased the tract of land on a Branch of Warrior Run on what is now Northumberland County on 03 Apr 1769. This would have been near where Fort Freeland was located. This would appear to be earlier than the arrival of Jacob Freeland and Cornelius Vincent in 1772. Moses signed his Last Will and Testament on 27 Aug 1777 witnessed by Cornelius Vincent among others. At the time he signed the will Moses was suffering from sickness. The will was proved and approved on 12 Feb 1778. Moses would have died sometime between those dates. The release of the land signed 10 Mar 1797 also proves the marriage of Moses and Mary. It names the two sons, William and James and the sisters, one who is Mary Kirk Jr the unmarried daughter and the four older daughters and their husbands. They are Isabella Kirk and her spouse, Aaron Himrod; Sarah Himrod and spouse, Joseph Reynolds; Ann Himrod and her spouse, David McNight, and Catharine Himrod and her spouse, Andrew Himrod who is Aaron's younger brother. Aaron, Joseph, and Andrew all fought in the Revolutionary War. No one has applied for Joseph.
