James, If I read this correctly, you are descended from Robert Anderson, born in 1776 in or near Lancaster County, PA and settled later in Allegheny County? If so, we are related. This Robert Anderson, twice married (first to Elizabeth Agnew and second to Jemima Taylor Swearingen) was my g-g-g-grandfather. I have lots of info on him and his 14 children, please contact me.
