CHAPTER XVII.
GENEALOGIES.
The author presents the following genealogies of families that at some time resided in Holland. Many of them have been prepared by others, either relatives, or persons who knew the families. Others have been prepared from the town records and from the Vital Records of other towns where data could be obtained that would add facts to make the genealogies as complete as the facts available would permit. We have not been able to trace all the families, for sufficient data was not at hand, but we have endeavored to give something about those families who were prominent in the social, political, and religious life of the town. It is not to be expected that they are complete and that no errors will be found. It is a work of great labor, involving much research and extensive correspondence with de- lays frequent ; and some facts were lost to family tradition even which needed original and careful research to bring the genealo- gies to the condition in which they are offered. The author wishes to thank all those who have submitted genealogies for publication, and, while he has carefully read them all, so as to correct statements that were impossibilities, he feels that respons- ibility for error must rest with the family genealogist who had the original data in hand.
No particular system of presenting the genealogies has been adopted. In a few cases the genealogy has been re-written and brought into the conventional form, but the greater part are in the form presented. In some cases facts known to the author, and manifestly unknown to the family genealogist have been in- serted without comment.

THE HISTORY OF HOLLAND, MASS.
#THE ANDERSON FAMILY IN HOLLAND.
By Maj. John Anderson.
John Anderson and his wife, Mary, came to South Brim- field, now Holland, about the year 1728, coming originally from Scotland, and settled on the farm now owned by Edwin Hall in the northwest part of the town. The land was purchased from Eleazer Foot. There were no buildings on the land at that time. The deed, dated November 6th, 1732, called for 120 acres. This property was never owned outside the family until after the death of Hiram Anderson, great grandson of Jolin Anderson, in Nov., 1864. John Anderson erected buildings on this land immediately after the purchase. The first house was built by him near the west brook which was later replaced by another near where the present house stands, this in turn was taken down and some of the timber used in the construction of the house now standing which was erected in 1802, and in which Hiram Anderson was born (1803) and in which he died (1864). The house has been considerably changed of late years.
The children of John and Mary Anderson were Margaret, John, Elizabeth, James, Thomas and David. Their father died in 1745 leaving all the children under legal age, hence the mother was appointed guardian by John Stoddard, Esq., who was judge in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. The above named David Anderson remained on the old place and was commissioned by the Honorable Harrison Gray, then Treasurer and Receiver General of his Majesty's Province of Massachu- setts Bay and in the name of George the Third of Great Britain, Constable and Collector of South Brimfield and directed" to collect the sum of twenty-three pounds, sixteen shillings and four pence from the said South Brimfield "and hereof you are not to fail upon the penalties and pains as may in such cases by law be inflicted on you." It further adds, "You are strictly ordered to bring in the money by the time set and it will be

out of my power to show that lenity which I have heretofore done. "'
As the collection of taxes in the colonies for the King of Great Britain in those days was not very popular it would appear that David Anderson had a rather difficult and unde- sirable task to perform. The records do not show how he suc- ceeded. This commission is dated December 31, 1772, the original is in possession of his great grandson, Major John Anderson.
David Anderson, son of John, was born in Holland, Feb- ruary 24, 1744, and died March 5, 1817. His whole life was spent in Holland. He married Irene Janes November 27, 1766; she died June 28, 1819; she was born August 10th, 1745, the daughter of Jonathan and Irene Bradford Janes and great great granddaughter of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth. No records of the other children of John and Mary Anderson extant.

He died Dec. 12, 1870; she died Oct. 2, 1914. She married again to William Talmadge, of Palmer, who died July 19, 1903: there were no children by her second marriage.

in Company E of the 1st Regiment of Michigan Sharp Shooters, in which organization he served over a year, when he was hon- orably discharged in order to accept a commission in a Massa- chusetts Regiment, having been appointed by Governor Andrew, a lieutenant in the 57th Mass., counting on the quota required from Holland. As a lieutenant he commanded Company E of that regiment in the wilderness campaign of the Army of the Potomac, spring and summer of 1864, and was in all the battles from the Wilderness, May 6, 1864, down to the battle of Peters- burg, Va., known as the battle of the Crater, July 30, 1864, in which he was wounded and sent to hospital in Washington. He received the appointment of Captain by brevet, signed by the President of the United States, for "Gallant and Meritorious Service" in this battle. He was honorably discharged from the army January 21, 1865, on account of disability arising from his wound, but soon after re-entered the service for the third time, having been appointed a lieutenant in the Veteran Re- serve Corps U.
