Family/Spouse: Captain Captain Walter ANDERSON. Captain was born in 1753 in SCOTLAND; died on 30 Nov 1818 in Vittoria, Norfolk, Ontario, CANADA; was buried in Saint Andrews United Cemetery, Vittoria, Norfolk, Ontario, CANADA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
Note: Col. Walter Anderson, eldest son of Walter, was one of the solid men of old Charlotteville in his day and generation. He was ever at the front in all matters pertaining to public affairs. He was straightforward, out-spoken and very positive in his manners, and was looked up to as a leading citizen. When the venerable Simpson McCall first began to show signs of budding into a political stump speaker, he made a speech at a town meeting—at least it was what Mr. McCall at that time thought was a speech. It happened a good many years ago, and Mr. McCall is not quite so positive now that it was really a speech, as he was the next morning after it was delivered. Well, on the following day he met Mr. Anderson on the hill above the village, and that dignitary accosted him with: "Hello, you little rooster, when are you going to crow again?" "Oh, I don't know," replied the rooster," "I ‘spose at the next town meetin'." Col. Walter Anderson was a leading factor in the old Town Boards, filling various positions during the early stages of the development of our municipal system; and when the Talbot District Council was organized in 1842, he became one of the first members. During the rebellion he served as captain of a company of militia, and, subsequently, was appointed lieutenant-colonel in the Norfolk militia, succeeding Colonel Rapelje. Lot 21, adjoining the old homestead on the east, was a clergy reserve, and this lot was leased by Mr. Anderson. He was a man of robust constitution, and kept up his horseback riding after he passed his 80th year. He died in 1869, having reached his 85th year. Colonel Anderson married Sarah McQueen, of Port Dover, who survived him ten years, having reached the ripe old age of ninety years. They left nine sons and daughters—Mary Ann, who married Jacob Wood; Amelia, who married James Stone, of Normandale; Rebecca Ann, who married Hanford Oaks; James, who settled in Walsingham; John, who settled on the homestead; Walter, who enlisted in the American civil war, taken prisoner at Vicksburg, and never heard of after; Henry, who settled in the States; Eliza, who married Dr. Dimon, of Port Rowan; and Sarah, who became the second wife of Dr. Dimon.

Family/Spouse: Sarah MCQUEEN. Sarah was born in 1789 in Bertie Township, Welland, Ontario, CANADA; died on 29 Mar 1870 in Vittoria, Norfolk, Ontario, CANADA; was buried in Saint Andrews United Cemetery, Vittoria, Norfolk, Ontario, CANADA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
Note: Rebecca Anderson, eldest daughter of the original Walter, came into possession of the old homestead by virtue of her father's will. She never married. She was born in Niagara District in 1788,[10] and was eleven years old when the family came to Long Point. As before stated, it was through her U.E. Loyalist right that her father was enabled to secure a patent for the old homestead. She was thirty-one years old when she came into possession of the old home. She was her father's favorite heir, and he willed the bulk of his property to her. But "Aunt Becky," as she was familiarly called, did not fully avail herself of the advantage given her by her father's will. She was generous and open-hearted, and the old homestead was ever a welcome home for her bachelor brothers, and her purse strings always hung loose when the cry of want was heard. She possessed an individuality peculiarly her own, and, probably, no woman of her time in the county possessed more striking characteristics than she. A good share of the village of Vittoria was built on her land, and this called for a considerable amount of business tact on her part, and brought her frequently before the public. In these matters she proved equal to every occasion, showing much business ability and executive force. She granted the school section in which she lived, a leasehold of a lot of land, to be held by the lessees in perpetuity for school purposes, in consideration of "one barley corn per year." Of course, if the land be put to any other use it will revert to her heirs. "Old Aunt Becky" died in 1863, in her 76th year. Buried: Find A Grave e-Memorial

He was born into the world in time to secure a vested right to land as a son of a U.E. Loyalist, and when he grew up he drew a lot near Lynedoch. Henry also served as a District Councillor. He was a hard worker and a man of business. He built a grist-mill east of Vittoria, and he and his brother John operated a large distillery business. He died in 1873, in his 76th year, from injuries received in a road accident while returning from port Rowan, having gone to that village on a matter of business. He, like John, never married, the two brothers having lived at the old homestead with their sister Rebecca. Buried: Find A Grave e-Memorial
