Son of Jacob and Abigail Dana of Connecticut
"Anderson Dana was born in Connecticut and was a lawyer. He removed to Pennsylvania, where he lived six years. At the Wyoming massacre he was killed, as was a son-in-law named Whiting. Mrs. Dana, his wife, after the battle went to her house, a mile from the fort, and gathered such necessaries as she could carry and her husband's valuable papers, in momentary fear that she might be killed; that night, with her children and one horse, in company with two other families, she set out for Connecticut, picking her way through the woods by marked trees for fifty miles; after three weeks of wearisome travel and much suffering they arrived in Connecticut.
