I am looking for any information on Archelaus (Archelus) Anderson, b. abt 1734, moved to Chester, Massachusetts in 1761, married Sarah in 1769, served in local militia from 1771, d. 1782 of small pox while serving in service of his country at West Point. In 1790, widow Sarah had 1 son over 16, one son under 16 and 4 daughters. I think she may have died about 1835 in Newstead, Erie County, New York. If so, she may be the mother of Samuel Anderson who bought land from the Holland Land Co. about 1812. He disappeared from the census there after 1840. Samuel is my 3rd Great Grandfather.
