(4 May 1736 - 1836), U E Loyalist. (Capt. Samuel Anderson) He served in the British forces in the Seven Years War and accompanied General Amherst in his descent of the St. Lawrence past the site of the future Cornwall and GC in 1760. Anderson was married (1761) to Prudentias Deliverance Bates (d. 1824). In the War of the American Revolution, Anderson fought for the Crown as a soldier in the King's Royal Regiment of New York. He settled in Cornwall Township as a United Empire Loyalist and presumably was never a GC resident, but he received land grants totalling 1800 acres in the 8th and 9th Concession of Lochiel Township, GC. His son was drowned in the sinking of the Speedy, 1804.
