Trust Company and the West Hudson Trust Company, Harrison.
His connection with the Dixon Company extended over a period of nearly thirty years, and in all that time, whether in the morning or the afternoon, he was ever the same. He was a very far-sighted man, and the foundation of the Dixon business and its present equipment for the future are evidence of that farsighted- ness. He was ever full of push and energy and inspired it in others. It was impossible to limit him to a small area of business. He could see possibilities when others could not, and so resourceful was he that nothing daunted him. He amassed a fortune in the banking business. Although an exacting business man, he was of a charitable disposition, and there are hundreds of men in Jersey City who owe their success in business to the financial aid given them by him. He was identified with many charitable organizations, and was one of the founders of the Children's Home. His contributions to St. John's Church were large. Other churches were the recipients of his gen- erosity. He contributed $25,000 to Emory Church, and to the Rev. Father Meehan he gave $1,000 for a bell for the new All Saints' Church, in Lafayette. During the coal strike of several years ago, Mr. Young kept the fires burning in the stoves of many homes in Jersey City. Although prominent in Democratic pol- itics, Mr. Young held but two elective offices -alderman and freeholder. This was early in his career. He held many appointive offices of honor and trust, one of which was state rail- road commissioner. He was a member of the Democratic state committee for several years, and in 1880 was one of the presidential electors for Gen. Winfield S. Hancock. In 1892 Mr. Young was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, but was defeated in the convention.
Mr. Young was probably a member of a greater number of social clubs and other organizations than any other citizen of Jersey City, including the New Jersey Historical So- ciety. He was extremely popular, and had a legion of friends in every walk of life. He was a member of the New Jersey Society of the Order of Founders and Patriots of Amer- ica, and was entitled to membership in the Sons of the Revolution. Although of Puritan stock, Mr. Young joined the Methodist Church in 1863, but later became a member of the congregation of St. John's Episcopal Church, and was for twenty-five years one of

the vestrymen. His home life was ideal, and the exactions of business did not lessen his enjoyment of the society of his friends.
Mr. Young married Harriet M. Strober, July 26, 1854. Their children are: Edward L., and Hattie Louise, wife of George T. Smith. Mr. Young held a prominent position in the social, church and philanthropic circles of the city, and his many good deeds, and his standing as a citizen in that community will be a lasting monument to his memory in genera- tions to come. His death occurred at his home, Boulevard and Glenwood avenue, December 6, 1908.
ANDERSON Thomas Anderson, founder of the branch of the Ander- son family at present under
consideration, was born in 1744, in Maiden- head, Hunterdon county, now Lawrenceville, Mercer county, New Jersey, and died in New- ton, May 29, 1805. He was the son of Enoch Anderson, of Trenton, who died there April 15, 1756, aged fifty-nine years, a descendant of Joachim Andriessen, one of the early set- tlers in New Amsterdam. Thomas Anderson studied law with Abraham Cottnam, of Tren- ton, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar as counsellor on May 16, 1765. Soon after this event he removed to Newton, Sussex county, New Jersey, and took up the practice of law in that place, at about the time that the first courthouse there was built. When the Decla- ration of Independence was signed he became one of the pioneer patriots of the county and was prominent in all that promoted her wel- fare. He was acting clerk of the county from 1770 to 1777, and was its first surrogate, an office which by reappointment he held contin- uously until his death. As early as 1774 he was one of the founders of Harmony Lodge, F. and A. M., of New Jersey, and he was made chairman of the delegation from Sussex county to the convention at New Brunswick to appoint delegates to represent the colony of New Jersey in the general Congress at Phila- delphia, which met to protest against unlawful taxation. Something of his spirit and of his services may be seen by noticing the part which Sussex county played in the cause of liberty. She was one of the first to organize her council of safety, and Thomas Anderson was its clerk. "The army supplies raised in Sussex and forwarded to the various military posts were of great efficacy in strengthening the sinews of war," being forwarded to Tren- ton, Morristown and New Windsor, and the
old Andover mines furnished the best cannon balls and steel. Thomas Anderson, as assistant quartermaster, attended to forwarding sup- plies and procuring care for horses worn down in the war, proper to fit them again for active service. When teams sufficient could not be found, General Washington sent an order that teams should be impressed. It is said that Thomas Anderson discharged this delicate duty "with firmness." Among his papers was found a commission dated New Brunswick, April 10, 1778, signed by Robert Morris, chief justice of New Jersey, and Judge John Cleves Symmes, to administer the oath of abjuration and allegiance. In the duty of seeking out and properly disposing of the enemy at home he was heartily assisted by leading men of the county. While thus in public life, helping to push on the noble cause by sustaining the heroic deeds of those upon the field, his spirit of patriotism was seen in his own home also. The ladies of Trenton organized a society July 4, 1780, to solicit subscriptions for the relief and encouragement of the brave men of the Continental army. They appointed ladies in
every county in the state to receive and for- ward donations. Those who were deputed to act in Sussex county were : Mrs. Thomas An- derson, of Newton; Mrs. Robert Ogden Jr., of Hardyston ; Mrs. Mark Thomson, of Hard- wick ; and Mrs. Robert Hoopes, of Oxford,- "whose known partiotism," says the circular appointment, "leaves no room to doubt of their best exertions in an undertaking so humane and praiseworthy." Thomas Anderson mar- ried Letitia Thornton. Children, who sur- vived him and had issue were : William Thorn- ton, Thomas Oakley, and Margaret, all referred to below.
(II) William Thornton Anderson, son of Thomas and Letitia Anderson, was born in Newton, Sussex county, New Jersey, in 1777, and died there in 1850. He spent his early youth at home, graduated from Princeton Col- lege in 1796, and soon afterwards commenced the study of law. At the time of the threat- ened rupture with France he sought and ob- tained a commission as major in the provi- sional army of the United States, raised in 1798. From that time until his death, he bore the title of "Major" among his friends and acquaintances. He was admitted to the New Jersey bar in September, 1801, and in the active duties of his profession he was ever afterward profitably and honorably engaged. A reputation for uprightness, capability and energy, early acquired, gave him a prominent

position, and brought him into very active par- ticipation in the affairs of his county. He represented her in the council (now the senate) at Trenton in 1821. He was appointed sur- rogate of Sussex county in 1822, and for nine- teen consecutive years he was director of the board of chosen freeholders of that county. The stockholders of the Sussex Bank, at its organization, chose him as a member of the board of directors, and he occupied that posi -. tion until his death, a period of thirty-two. years. His local contemporaries in his pro- fession were: Job S. Halsted, Daniel Haines and Thomas C. Ryerson; while he was on terms of familiar, social and professional inter- course with Samuel L. Southard, Theodore Frelinghuysen, Joseph C. Hornblower, Ga- briel H. Ford, Jacob W. Miller, James S. Green, Peter D. Vroom and William Penning- ton, most, if not all of whom, during the first third of the last, (the nineteenth) century, habitually attended the trial terms at the Sus- sex county courts. At the date of his death he was one of the managers of the State Lunatic Asylum at Trenton. He married Margaret, (daughter of Dr. Andrew Linn and Annie Carnes) who survived him. The chil- dren surviving him were: I. Theodore Fre- linghuysen Anderson, referred to below. 2. Thomas Anderson, referred to below. 3. Mary Anderson, married Robert A.

William Thornton Ander- son, of Warwick, New York. 2. Thomas Ryerson Anderson, of Battle Creek, Michigan. 3. Margaret Amelia Anderson. 4. Mariel Ryerson Anderson ; married Thomas M. Kays, counsellor at law, of Newton. 5. Anna Mary Linn Anderson.
(III) Thomas Anderson, son of William Thornton and Margaret (Linn) Anderson, was born in Newton, Sussex county, New Jer- sey, and is now living in Newark. He received his early education in a private school in New- ton, and prepared for college under the Rev. Clarkson Dunn, graduating from Princeton
College in 1850. He read law with ex-Gov- ernor Peter D. Vroom, at Trenton, and ex- Governor Haines, at Hamburg, Sussex county, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar as attorney in February, 1856, and was com- missioned as counsellor in June, 1872. He took up the general practice of his profession in Newton, being the partner of Joseph Coult for ten years, and removed to Newark in 1879. He was appointed by Governor Bedle, judge of the court of common pleas of Sussex county for five years, and for three terms he held the presidency of the Sussex county board of chosen freeholders. During the civil war he served as captain of Company D, Twenty- seventh Regiment New Jersey Volunteer In- fantry. He is a member of the F. and A. M. of Newton, and of the Newark Lawyers Club.
(II) Thomas Oakley Anderson, son of Thomas and Letitia Anderson, was born in Newton, Sussex county, New Jersey, in 1793, and died there in 1844. In his minority he entered the United States navy, and as an ensign, at the age of eighteen years, he took part in the daring attempt of Commodore Decatur to rescue the frigate "Philadelphia" from the Tripolitans who had captured it. After leaving the navy he returned to Newton, where he spent the remainder of his life. He left surviving him one child, Daniel Stuart Anderson.
(III) Daniel Stuart, son of Thomas Oakley Anderson, was born in Newton, Sussex county, New Jersey, in 1819, and died there July I, 1890. He studied law with his uncle, William Thornton Anderson, and was admitted to the New Jersey bar in September, 1841. In 1848 he was elected surrogate of Sussex county and was twice re-elected, holding that office for fifteen years. In 1863 he resumed his law practice, which he continued until 1871, when he was appointed president judge of the Sus- sex county court of common pleas. Subse- quently he was for a number of years the law partner of Hon. Thomas N. McCarter, in Newton, before the removal of the latter to Newark. The children who survived him were: I. Anna D., married Edward Theodore Bell, president of First National Bank of Paterson, New Jersey. 2. Lillian Anderson, of Paterson, New Jersey. 3. James Cassidy Anderson, of Englewood, New Jersey.
