James Anderson came to America sometime before the beginning of the Revolutionary War. During that conflict for freedom, James served his adopted country with Virginians. In 1782 he and his family were living in New Jersey, but two years later were living in Delaware. By the year 1790 he had moved his family to Surry Co., North Carolina, where he was listed in the first Federal Census reports for that county as being the head of a family of nine males and three females. Here the the family lived until 1795 when they moved to Buncombe (now Madison) County and settled on a nice farm on the Paint Fork of Little Ivy River to become one of the pioneers to settle in this area. His home was built of strong and sturdy hand-hewn logs built to withstand the ravages of time and the elements,and as a protective refuge against the possible attack of the Cherokee Indians who were not entirely subdued at the time and whose well-worn path into their nation ran nearby. This old home was one and a half stories high with gun slots cut through the logs at intervals along the walls of the upper floor as a protection against the Indians.
James and Lydia Mallet Anderson had 11 children:
James Jr., Joseph M., Robert, Levi, George Washington, Jesse, John, Lydia Jane, Nathan, William Mallet, Sarah Elizabeth,
