    3. Hi, Pat, If you're descended from John Reid, I'm your cousin. His brother James is an ancestor of mine. What I can add to your information comes from the "History of the Old Tennent Church," 2nd ed. John Anderson, b. 1665, was Capt. Anderson; one of his ships was the "Unicorn." His brother James was a pastor, the first pastor of the Wall St. Presb. Church, NYC. John Reid was a map-drawer and Surveyor General for Monmouth Co. In addition to the 7 children you name of John Anderson and Anna Reid, there were 2 more: Helena, b. 6 May 1706, m. Thomas John Hankinson; and Margaret. Son John was b. 1703, d. 19 Jul 1793, m. Sarah Craig. Sarah was b. 1705, d. 10 Aug 1787; she was the dau. of Archibald Craig. They had 9 children. Son James was b. 7 Jul 1708, m. Catharine UNKNOWN, b. 5 Aug 1710. They had 10 children. Son Kenneth was b. 18 May 1710, d. 18 Mar 1806; he was a Colonel. I think your birth date for Hannah is wrong: 1682 would make her 28 years older than Kenneth and she would have given birth in her late 50s--unlikely at that time. I have her maiden name as Hankinson, but the "History" says it might have been Gordon; anyway her birth date is probably about 1719. They had one child before Lydia. That was Isabella, b. 6 Jul 1737, d. 24 Dec 1782, m. 23 Mar 1757 Nathaniel Scudder (s. of Col. Jacob Scudder,) b. 10 May 1733, d. 18 Oct 1781. Isabella and Nathaniel had 5 children: John Anderson, b. 22 Mar 1759, d. 1846 Joseph, b. 12 Feb 1762, d. 5 Mar 1843 Hannah, b. 16 Aug 1763, d. 9 Dec 1834 Kenneth Anderson, b. 21 Aug 1765 Lydia, b. 27 Oct 1767 That's about all I know, but feel free to ask if you have any questions. Which of your Andersons immigrated and from where, if you know? Good luck, Les Conover
