Anderson, James Rev. War Soldier 12/25/1848 77------
Came 1804 from Chester Co., Pa.

My problem is that this James Anderson would most likely be too young. Also, It is my understanding that this James Anderson did not come to the US util after the war.

I have read in the Trumbull history books that in 1812 Arthur and James Anderson participated in the war of 1812.

Could the inscription have made a mistake....Or do i have the wrong James Anderson? (There are so many James Anderson's)

thank you
