a Methodist preacher of Virginia, born 1795, entered the Virginia Conference at nineteen, and preached in the principal cities and stations until his death in 1823, aged twenty-eight. Mr. Anderson was a teacher previous to his ministry, and, being well-educated, modest, faithful, and circumspect, and greatly devoted to his calling, his promise of future usefulness to the church was rapidly maturing, when he died. — Minutes of Conferences, 1824.
