�ANDERSON, CAPT. PATRICK, was born July 24, 1719, on a farm on the Pickering Creek, in what is now Schuylkill township, and was the first child of European parents born within the limits of the old township of Charlestown. He was the son of James Anderson, a Scotch emigrant, and Elizabeth Jerman, daughter of Thomas Jerman, a noted Quaker preacher and thrifty miller, who settled very early in the Chester Valley. When a babe his mother occasionally left him with the friendly Indian women to be nursed, while she visited her parents across the mountain. In his youth he was sent to Philadelphia to be educated, and afterwards he taught school in his father's house. He obtained the home property from his father, and on it at an early age, built thje saw-mill which now belongs to his great-grandson, Dr. M. J. Pennypacker. He was thrifty and enerprising, and among other possessions owned a number of slaves. There is a letter extant, written by William Moore*, of Moore Hall, Nov, 5, 1755, during the progress of the French and Indian War, to William Allen, chief justice of the province, recommending him for a captaincy.
�
���In the Revolutionary struggle, he bore an active part. In 1774 he was elected one of the Chester County committee of which Anthony Wayne was chairman. In March, 1776, he was appointed by the Assembly senior captain of the Pennsylvania battalion of musketry, and though then considerably advanced in years, he accepted the position and recruited a company. This battalion, under the command of Col. Samuel J. Atlee, was placed on the right of the American army at the battle of Long Island, fought with a great gallantry, capturing from the British and holding a height, and did much to save the army from destruction. Lieut.-Col. Caleb Parry, a friend and neighbor of Anderson, was killed by his side, and according to tradition, the sight very much enraged him. His company lost heavily in killed, wounded, and missing. Atlee having been captured, the command of the battalion, which had been very much shattered, devolved upon him, and a letter from him to Benjamin Franklin, dated Sept 22, 1776, detailing its condition, is printed in the Archives. At the capture of Fort Washington, all, or nearly all, of his company were taken prisoners, and on the 9th of January, 1777, he made application for a lieutenant-colonelcy, but does not appear to have succeeded. The battalion was reorganized and consolidated with other troops, and he was put in command of the first company of the State regiment of foot, and later of a company in the Thirteenth Pennsylvania Regiment in the Continental Line.
���He was in the service when, in the fall of 1777, the British passed through Chester County in the campaign for the possession of Philadelphia. At his house they committed great depradations, destroying and taking his furniture and other property, including 11 cows, 7 beef-cattle, 40 sheep, 10 swine, and 121 fowls, to the value of 303 3s 6 d. A mirror, which had been apart of the marriage outfit of his dead wife, escaped, and now belongs to Samuel Pennypacker, Esq.
���He was elected a member of the Assembly in October 1778, and after a long contest, obtained his seat. He was re-elected in 1779, 1780, and 1781, and as a member of that body voted against all efforts to abolish slavery in Pennsylvania. In April, 1779, he wrote to the Council of Safety in regard to irregularities in the election of the militia officers in Chester County, as conducted by Col. Levi Granow, and that election was annulled. In 1781 he was appointed by the Assembly one of the board of commissioners to provide for the navigation of the river Schuylkill.
���He married, at Christ Church, Philadelphia, Dec. 22, 1748, Hannah Martin and had two children, --Rebecca and Harriet. He married again, Elizabeth Morris, grand-daughter of John Bartholomew, and cousin of Cols. Edward and Benjamin Bartholomew, by whom he had three children, --Isaac, James, and Elizabeth. He married the third time, Ann Beaton, sister of Col. John Beaton, and had by her seven children. He died in 1793, and is buried in the yard of the Valley Episcopal Church.

*William Moore:
Another son, William, jurist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 6 May, 1699; died in Moore Hall, Chester County, Pennsylvania, 30 May, 1783, was sent by his father to England, where he was educated, and, after graduation at the University of Oxford in 1719, he returned to this country and settled at Moore Hall. He served in the assembly from 1733 till 1740, and in 1741 was commissioned a justice of the peace and judge of the county court. For forty years thereafter he was president judge of the court, and during the Indian troubles he commanded a militia regiment. He took an active part in the disputes between the governor and the assembly, favoring the proprietaries. In his published writings in Eranklin's "Gazehe" and elsewhere he attacked the assembly, and by this and other actions made himself so obnoxious to this body that they addressed the governor and asked that Moore be removed from office. He was finally arrested, imprisoned, and impeached, and in August, 1758, was tried before the governor and his council and acquitted, the governor declaring," "that Mr. Moore had purged himself from every one of them [the charges], and appeared to them to be perfectly innocent." Moore was characterized as " the most conspicuous and heroic figure in the county of Chester." His residence, Moore Hall, was situated on the Schuylkill river, twenty-three miles from Philadelphia, and within three miles of Valley Forge. The old stone mansion is still standing, and in 1787, when Washington went there on a fishing excursion, was known as the " Widow Moore's." See "William Moore, of Moore Hall," in "Historical and Biographical Sketches" (Philadelphia, 1883), and "Keith's Provincial Councillors" (1883).
