Cornelius was the son of Cornelius Anderson (Sr.) and his wife, Annetje Opdyck Anderson.
He married Catherine Runyon on Dec. 2, 1721. They had 12 children: Anna in 1723, Martha in 1724, Rachel in 1726, Cornelius (III) in 1728, Thomas in 1731, Jemima in 1733, Hannah in 1736, Andrew in 1738, Thisbe in 1740, Zilpha in 1743, Cathrine in 1745 and Francina in 1748.
There is some question as to whether Elijah Rowland (b. 1741) and Rachall Rowland (b. 1743) were also their children because they appear on the pen and ink sketch of the Anderson family tree that is held by the Hopewell Museum. It is more likely, however, that they were grandchildren from Martha and the Rev. John Rowland, who wed on June 16, 1740.
Cornelius appeared in Hopewell Twp., Hunterdon (now Mercer) Co. in the New Jersey census of 1741. He owned a plantation and tavern house there, nine miles north of Trenton on River Road, which he eventually leased, then sold, to his brother-in-law Andrew Mershon. This establishment became known as the Bear Tavern, and its owners witnessed the Continental Army trudging past after crossing the Delaware River during the night of Dec. 25-26, 1776 enroute to the Battle of Trenton.
He signed his will on Dec. 6, 1765.
