In 1853 the Andersons' bought 747 acres in Stokes County on the Dan River, at Ladds' Ford from William Fewell who left for Missouri.
There the Andersons' began construction of a house probably on the exact same site as the Constantine Ladd house.
The main section of the house was completed in 1855.
In 1856, Anderson owned eight slaves which eventually numbered thirty.
The property consisted of six log slave cabins, a log kitchen, and the two-story frame residence.
During the latter part of the Civil War, Anderson became a major in the Confederate Quartermaster Corps. He built a quartermaster commissary on his property to the rear of the house. After the war, he developed extensive agricultural and business interests but struggled to operate his plantation. For a time, he hired "bound boys" from the courts in Winston to help operate the farm.
Having no children of their own, the Andersons adopted the majors' neice, who became known as, Margaret Augusta Anderson.
They also adopted a son, Nathaniel, who was born in 1842. Nathaniel served in the Confederate Army and died in 1862 in Richmond, Virginia.
