Cinda: No Vannoys or Swarts. Page 84, same list of moneys owed to Joseph
Reed's store is John Anderson and Benjamin Anderson; page 160 lists William
Quick serving under Capt Anderson's Company of the New Jersey Continental
Line, 27 May 1778. On page 26, Isaac Anderson was paid 15s.3d for a coffin
for Joseph Furman. Page 40, John Swallow bought a plantation from Seth
Lowery and James Anderson near Rocktown. Page 129, Ephraim Anderson, who
lived near Trenton was the Major. He was afterwards killed at the battle of
the Short Hills, Essex County, New Jersey. (Revolutionary War)

The identity of John Anderson is provided by Erskine's map, circa 1778, of
the King's Road between Rocktown and Ringo's tavern. At the spot where the
tavern house stands, the mapmaker had noted "Capt Anderson'd"
JOhn Anderson was commissioned a captain in the Hunterdon County Militia and
served during the battle of Long Islanad, 27 Aug 1776 and White
Plains, 28 Oct 1886. He served several five month tours of duty before
resigning 5 Jun 1778. Capt. Anderson was a member of St. Andrews Church
in Ringoes and represented the church at conventions held at Burlington in
1786 in 1786 and later at Perth Amboy. His signature appears with those of
other wardens and vestrymen on a document, dated 1785, announcing the
reopening of St. Andrews following a period, during the Revolutionary War,
when services had been suspended. Anderson and Anne Van KIrk were arried by
Rev. William Frazer, rector of St. Andrews on 10 Apr 1783. She may have
been Anderson's second wife as the eldest of his four children, Joshua was
born in 1773. Birth dates for the other children, John, Nancy, and Sarah
are not know. Although Anderson remained in Amwell Township until his
death, which occured 9 May 1799, he gave up tenure in the tavern during the
first six months of 1780. The records of Amwell tax ratables show Anderson
as the tavern keeper in Jan 1780. However, by June of that year, Samuel
Birdsall occupied 20 acres with the tavern belong to Mathew Simcock.and
John Anderson died 29 Apr 1799.
