In 1776 the Andereson family was living not far from Havre de Grace,in
the no rtheastern part of Baltimore Co., Maryland. Baltimore had been
part of Hartf ord Co., MD. He grew up on his father's farm. He becamea
millwright and is refered to as such a tradesman in Hartford County
records. He inherited a sm all parcel of land from his mother, as well as
half-interest in his father's farms, and he bought several other tracts
in the general neighborhood.He was a large land-owner, a community
leader, an elected member of the local govern ment unit and a military
officer...
In 1775, Charles Anderson began to sell his land. The Anderson family
moved west in late 1777 or early 1778. When h e left Maryland, his wife
and all eight children accompanied him. No known c hildren were born in
the Monongahela Valley. They moved to Muddy Creek, Cumb erland Township,
Washington Co. (Green Co.), Pennsylvania by September 1778. He lived the
rest of his life there. Muddy Creek is located about a half mi le
northwest of Carmichaels.
Charles and Mary have eight children recorded i n the 1776 Cencus of
Susquehanna Hundred. Oddly, particularly in view of the large acreage he
owned, no slaves are listed. Other nearby families are sho wn as slave
owners. He may not have believed in slavery and refused to have any part
of it.
His will was probated in Green Co. Pennsylvania. It leaves all the land
and almost everything else to his son, William. William's sons, William
and Charles, grand-daughters Drucilla Anderson and Polly Snively are
given small items. His son Charles was given a cross cut saw. The
execut ors for the will were his sons William and James. No other childred
were ment ioned, so six were cut out entirely.
Charles is buried in Cumberland Township Farm Cemetery, Greene County, Pennsylvania
Charles had seen the onening of the valleys beyo nd the mountains to white
man's settlement and had been among the first to mo ve and settle the new
lands.
