William R Anderson
Private, Company E, Age 18 from Wells
WILLIAM R ANDERSON was born in New Brunswick, Canada on 20 Sept, 1843, presumably the son of Amos and Mary Anderson, with whom he lived up to the 1870 census. He died on 2 Sept, 1919 [didn't find in ME vr] and is buried in Ocean View Cemetery, Wells, Maine.
He married circa 12 Nov 1869 [intents filed - Wells VR p489] to ANN M BENNETT, who was born 1 Oct, 1847 in Maine and died 30 Dec, 1917 [grave stone; Wells VR p596]. Also did not find her death rec in ME vr.
William was called a blacksmith and a farmer in census records. His "brother"
Amos (he is seen with William in household of Amos and Mary, but early censuses don't give relationships so shouldn't assume they are children) also served in the 27th ME. The 1900 census for Amos (jr) gives an immigration year of 1851, 'parents' had child born in ME in 1857 so a date somewhere between these years is likely for the family arriving in the States.
William and Annie had two children according to 1900 census data:
I. EULA M V (or W), born about Dec, 1871. She married in Wells on 11 July 1889 to GEORGE H MANSFIELD [Wells VR p482]. They were divorced by the 1900 census. They had a daughter:
1. Roberta M, born Jan, 1890. She was listed as an Anderson on 1900 census with her mother, and called Roberta Mansfield Anderson on 2 Oct 1912 when she married Frank Griswold Smith [Wells VR p577].
II. MABEL W, was born 17 Jan, 1876 and died on 18 Feb, 1876. She is buried with her parents in Ocean View Cem, Wells.
