Son of Richard Anderson.
Husband of Cecelia Poindexter Massey, married 1660.
Robert died in 1712 in New Kent county, Virginia colony, aged 71 years. The land office register, April 16, 1683 states he is grantee for 727 acres of land in New Kent county for importing 15 persons. He was Vestryman for St. Peter's Parish in 1686, and also for St. Paul's Parish from 1704 until his death. The vestry records show Capt. Robert Anderson was present at a meeting on June 21, 1712. The next meeting was August 8, 1712 and the attendees elected a replacement for Capt. Robert Anderson who was "recently deceased".
"The Anderson Family" by Edward Lowell Anderson states that on July 4, 1635, Richard Anderson, age 17, left England for the colonies, and was followed by Richard Anderson, age 53, presumably his father. Before sailing both took the oath of allegiance and supremacy. These 2 men appear to have been the progenitors of the Anderson family of Hanover county, Virginia. They intermarried with Masseys, Cloughs, Poindexters, Overtons, Garlands, Dabneys and Sheltons.
