OLIVER ANDERSON - (personal information - from Elizabeth Wolff Book, page 10, 11) Oliver Anderson , the subject of this genealogy, was born in Ireland in 1742 and came to America with other members of the family, presumably as early as 1750 and to the Corner by 1764. He was a farmer by occupation, taking up three hundred and twenty acres of land from the Government, part of which was mountain land. It was then in Cumberland County. His farm was six miles southwest of Mercersburg. A Seceder in faith, he attended the Slate Hill Church and served as ruling elder for many years and collected funds for the support of the ministers in charge of the congregation. He was one of the early educators, teaching school in winter while farming was not in progress. His further service in the Revolution is as follows: OLIVER ANDERSON - (additional personal information - from Wolff genealogy, pg 49, 50, 51) Abstract of the will of Oliver Anderson. (unrecorded).

Anderson. Corndale September 26, 1795 Dear Coz. Oliver: Your letter informing me of my brother's death, I read in course, which gave me and sisters much concern at the loss of so dear a friend, at the same time ever to be thankful to remember the kind and attention toward him during his indisposition. You mention sending my brother's (illegible) to my sister, which has not yet come to hand, which if you have not this word forwarded, you may probably have an opportunity to send by Capt. Pinkerton, by whom this letter goes to Philadelphia, or any other person you chose, at same time I've loss me their receipt, whoever it may be to enable me to make amends of them. Mr. Wilson, a friend carried over two fine linen shirts from sister for you, which we left in care, one Crawford of Carlisle by David William Work, to be forwarded, which I hope you received safe. Sisters join in love to you at all times. Samuel Anderson P.S. Anne Taylor, Y'r cousin, now widow. Hannah, by her good husband being innocently killed in an affray, to her and her small family, great loss, though making a tolerable livelihood. For her family, not quite content and would wish you would inform her brothers of her situation and earnestly wish to hear from you and them as on before. S. Anderson

Chester Anderson, great-grandson of Oliver Anderson, operated a grist mill not far from the family farm in the "Corner" and the Slate Hill Cemetery. The mill is situated along the west branch of the Conococheague Creek, on Anderson Road in Montgomery Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The mill is owned by the youngest son of Chester. Another son built a working model of a grist mill (southern style), and a second grist mill (northern style) which also includes a cider mill, and saw mill.
