His will, dated 25 dec 1811 in Somerset Co., gives his wife Phebe the use of the fam to bring up the four youngest children Jane, James, Jacob, and Hannah, as well as the use of the negro man, Fortune (who had probably belonged earlier to Bedent Baird). His son Gavin was at that time apprenticed in a trade. Married daughters were identified as Mary Compton and Betsey Todd. Also names son George Anderson as executor with Abraham Bockoven. A codicil dated 04 jan 1812 made further provisions regarding the dower that his wife Phebe had brought with her.
James Anderson is apparently the same man whose case came before the Supreme Court of New Jersey in the September term, 1790. In brief, John Horsfield left a will dated 1761, in which he required that his two Negro slave girls Betty and Nelly be sold for a term of 15 years, and the proceeds of that sale should be divided among his four daughters. The two girls were sold to a Covenhoven, who then sold them to James Anderson. During the time that they were indentured either to Covenhoven or James Anderson, Betty had a child named Silas, who was now (1790) of full age (thus probably born about 1769, and so apparently during her time with Covenhoven) . Anderson claimed that Silas was a slave. However, Silas filed a writ of habeus corpus claiming his freedom. The court ruled that Betty and Nelly had ceased to be slaves upon the death of John Horsfield (his will had the effect of turning them into indentured servants). Slavery was hereditary (the offspring of a slave would remain a slave), but indentured servitude was not. Therefore it was ordered that "Silas be liberated from the illegal Detention of the same James Anderson, and he is hereby liberated accordingly".
