who entertained for him the most sincere regard. He was a member of the old Academy of Fine Arts, of which Colonel Trumbull was President, and his position as an artist was so high, that when the Academy of Design was founded in 1827, he was immediately elected a member.
   He had only four pupils during the course of his long and honored life: his daughter Ann, who married Andrew Maverick, a copper-plate printer; Garret Lansing, who placed himself under his instruction in 1804, and became the second wood-engraver in America; William Morgan, who afterward became noted as a draughtsman, and John H. Hall, who took a high rank among engravers, but being seized by the gold fever in 1849, went to California, where he died.
   By his second wife Dr. Anderson had one son and five daughters. His son, who was a physician, and was named John, after the beloved brother who had perished in the yellow-fever epidemic, died in 1836. Two of his daughters, Emmeline (Mrs. Maybe) and Ann (Mrs. Maverick), inherited their father’s taste for art, and gained distinction, the one with the pencil, the other with the graver. Three of his daughters survived him—Mrs. Halsey, Mrs. Skillman, and Mrs. Lewis.
