, from old Hanover, which has done so much to make herself renowned in our brief history. The eldest son of Captain Anderson, Richard Clough Anderson, Jr., was sent Minister to one of the South American Republics, by Mr. Monroe, about 1823, and died there. He was quite a young man, and very promising. This seems to have been a warlike family.-- Richard Clough Anderson had a younger brother, who commanded a company of Hanover troops throughout Greene's campaigns. He was in the battles of Guilford, Camden and Eutaw, and at the Siege of Ninety-Six. He went also to Georgia, with Wayne, in his expedition against the Indians, immediately after the close of the Carolina campaign. There was no braver officer in the whole army. He did not follow his brother to Kentucky, but married, lived and died in his native county of Hanover. He left one son — the venerable Col. Benjamin Anderson, of Goochland, who is still alive, and who is, therefore, the first cousin of the Fort Sumter man.
