Help! I'm hoping someone reading this message has had a sighting of Anderson listings in early Flushing, Queens, New York or Westchester Counties in the course of their personal research. Dorothy Anderson married Samuel Tredwell in NY (not necessarily NYC--the Marriage Bond was obtained there, however) October 8, 1762. Dorothy was his second wife--first wife Elizabeth Lispenard of New Rochelle. I have a notation that ..."twins belonging to Derrick Albertson and wife Rebeckah Albertson, born 2/12/1740, the sureties to their baptism were Derrick and Rebeckah and Dorothy Anderson." The Albertson's were from that Queens area of New York at the time, but the Dorothy I am seeking was probably born after this particular Dorothy. (Maybe her mother was the surety in this instance)? This is from "Genealogies of Long Island Families" and excerpted from data relating to other Dutch names. I have been unable to find out where she came from--parents--there seems no connection to all the research I've done this family. She seems like a stranger that just 'dropped in'. It is written she was from Flushing. Samuel's parents and forebears were from Hempstead, which is not far from the Flushing area of the mid-1700s, and maybe they played a part in the matchmaking. However, Samuel had been given land in Rye, Westchester NY from the time of his first marriage and the marriage Bond or Banns said he was 'from Rye'. He and Dorothy did live in Rye/Harrison's. Dorothy had male relatives, probably father and brothers. She was living near them at the time of the 1810 census.William Anderson -- was from Rye when he died, left in his Will a quitclaim from Tredwell on 200 acres of land to Jeremiah and William Anderson of Harrison's and Jonathan Anderson of Nova Scotia. They in turn, assigned their rights to Dorothy Tredwell, widow of Samuel. There is no date given for death of William, or the transaction, but it appears Samuel died between 1801 and 1810 and that at the time of the assignment, Dorothy must have already been widowed--appears in 1820 census with 16/over male (son). Dorothy seems to always pronounce her name Doroty Treddle. She is involved in some other small transactions up to 1820 and appears in the 1820 census. The son and his wife appear in the 1830 census--also in that household is a female, "90 years and over". An extensive cemetery hunt has not revealed the death or burial sites of either Samuel or Dorothy--other TRedwells, yes --them, no. I seldom see the surname Anderson in the areas that I have searched. By placing this conundrum on all my Metropolitan Lists I hope someone has seen or worked on Anderson family records enough to give me a clue as to location to go to next. Thanks for taking the time to read all this! I sure hope an Anderson researcher in cyberspace will read this appeal! Jan
