Robert Anderson was the son of John and Jean Anderson. He was born in Augusta County, Virginia in 1741. He came to South Carolina at the age of twenty as a surveyor. Following his marriage to Ann Thompson in Virginia on November 6, 1765, he moved permanently to South Carolina. Anderson was a member of the Second General Assembly (1776-1778) and represented the Ninety Six District in the Third through Eighth General Assemblies (1779-1790). When Pendleton County was created, he represented that election district in the Ninth (1791), Tenth (1792-1794), Eleventh (1794-1795), and Fourteenth (1800-1801) General Assemblies. Anderson County was named for him. He died in 1812.
