Laura,
Hi, my name is Jim Dornberger and I am an Anderson descendant (my mother is an Anderson) and I happen to live 1.5 miles away from Anderson Place in Phoenixville, PA. I have a great deal of family information that I have had handed down to me and researched on the internet.
The first thing you need is a copy of the book: ANDERSON: Notes of family history, the Anderson,Schofield, Pennypacker, Yocum, Crawford, Sutton, Lanes, etc., families, by Isaac C. Sutton. 210p. 1948.

Let me know if you are looking for something you can�t find.
By the way, although Thomas Jarman, was indeed, a Quaker preacher, James and Elizabeth don�t seem to have practiced the Quaker religion and their children were Episcopalians. Since Elizabeth and her sister Mary were Thomas� only offspring the Jarman�s stop right there.

Trussell, Jr. (1977), the Pennsylvania Angler (1987), and mostly recently in 1992 in John W. Jackson's Valley Forge: A Pinnacle of Courage. Wildes did not document his source, however, and no known primary source material substantiates the story.

Peter Suplee, only son of Peter Supplee, the Revolutionary soldier, belonged
to the fifth generation of the Suplee family. He was born in Worcester, Montgomery
county, Pennsylvania, February 8, 1778. Fifteen days after the death of his father,
his mother, Susanna Supplee, with her daughter, Rachel, emigrated to Penn Yan,
New York, when he was but seven years old, leaving with his grandmother Magdaline
to raise at the Supplee homestead in Worcester. After passing his boyhood days
upon the farm he learned the carpenter trade. At the age of twenty-one years, in
1799, he married Hannah Eastburn, of Upper Merion, Montgomery county.
They purchased and settled upon a tract of three hundred acres of land in Charlestown
(now Schuykill) township, Chester county, Pennsylvania.
This tract adjoined the Moore Hall tract on the north, and the James Anderson
tract on the south. There they erected buildings and made their home. This property
is historic ground. A tribe of Delaware Indians once had a village and also a
graveyard on this property. The first white settlers in this neighborhood, James
Anderson and wife, their first winter there, lived in a cave near the Indian
village. Until recently the mounds in the Indian graveyard were visable. Many
relice, such as stone axes, arrow heads, etc., were found upon this property when
ploughing the ground.

The old Supplee homestead property is historic ground, a Revolutionary
landmark. General Washington's army was twice encamped upon this property in
the month of October, 1777, when that distinguished soldier led his troops
from Pennypacker's Mills, at Perkiomen, about October 1, 1777, to give battle
to the Brittish army at Germantown. He came with the army to this place,
and was encamped there on the second and third days of October. Whilst the
army was encamped upon the farm, General Washington and General Greene had
their head-quarters in the Supplee dwelling house and October 3rd General
Washington and his officers held a council of was on the lawn in front of the
house. That afternoon the army broke camp and marched to Germantown. The battle
of Germantown took place the next day, October 4, 1777. Owning to a dense
fog existing at that time, that battle proved disastrous to the American Army.
It was defeated, and on October 5, retreated to Pennypacker's Mills,
on the same road by which it had advanced to Germantown two days before. After
resting at Pennypacker's Mills until October 8. Washington advanced his army
to Towamenein township, remaining there until October 15. The army again came
to the Supplee homestead, and was encamped there from October 15, to October
21. The army then advanced to Whitpain township, remaining there until November
1. On November 2, Washington advanced his army to Whitemarsh, and took a
position there, intending to give battle to the enemy.
On December 3, General Howe, with the British army marched out from
Philadelphia, and took a position at Chestnut Hill, some three miles distant
from Washington's amry. After the armies had confronted each other in these
positions without coming to a general engagement, General Howe, on December 10,
suddenly, withdrew his army and marched back to Philadelphia, where the troops
went into winter quarters. December 11, General Washington took up his march
with his army to Valley Forge, crossing the Schuykill river at Swedes' Ford
on the 12, and the army arrived at the Fulf Mills on December 13. Peter,
Jacob, and John Suplee were soldiers in the ranks of the American army
during the campaigns, herein recited, and Peter's teams were also used at
that time in removing the army supplies from Whitemarsh to Valley Forge.
December 18 the army removed its march from the Gulf Mills over the snow-
covered roads to Valley Forge. That march, history informs us, could be
traced by the blood stains upon the trodden snow left there by the shoe-less
feet of the American soldiers. December 19, 1777, the American army went into winter quarters among the snowclad hills of Valley Forge. That whole
winter there was a panorama of suffering, endurence and patriotism, and
there upon the bended knee Washington invoked the Divine assistance. On
January 24, in that memorable cold winter of 1777-78, encamped with Washington's
army upon the bleak hills of Valley Forge, surrounded by his compatriots in
arms, in the darkest days of the American Revolution, Peter Supplee, a
martyr to liberty, gave his life for the liberty we now enjoy. After his death
at Valley Forge, his remains were taken to the Bethel cemetery and there interred.

village and also a graveyard on this property. The first white settlers in this
neighborhood, James Anderson and wife, their first winter there, lived in a cave
near the Indian village. Until quite recently the mounds in the Indian graveyard
were visible. Many relics, such as stone axes, arrow heads, etc., were found
upon this property when ploughing the ground. At the time Peter and his wife
Hannah settled here, everything was very primitive. Their farming implements
and means of conveyance were rude. No Dearborns or carriages existed among the
farmers then. They attended Philadelphia market on horseback, using saddle bags
to carry their farm and dairy products to market.
The writer of this sketch in his boyhood days often heard his grandmother,
Hannah Suplee, relate her experiences attending the Philadelphia market. That
appears to have been one of the duties of the women folk during the busy
seasons. The country at that time was sparsely settled, much of it being
covered with woods. For company for each other they traveled to market in
groups of eight and ten persons, and on their homeward journey they sometimes
would test the speed of their steeds by doing a little horse racing. The
distance they had to travel to Philadelphia market was twenty-five miles.
