The following was included in a microfilm of records of the National Library of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Washington DC, Roll #350, filmed on January 20, 1971. These transcriptions of family Bible records of Florida citizens were collected by DAR members in the 1930s.

His [Capt. Anderson's] wife, Harriet Maria Brockman, was the oldest child of Colonel Thomas Patterson and Mary Kilgore Brockman. After attending school at Greenville, South Carolina, she completed her education at Salem, North Carolina. All through her life she was a great lover of books, reading works of history and fiction such as Scott, Milton, and Addison. She was zealous worker in Sunday School and Church. It was no unusual thing too see Captain and Mrs. Anderson sit at the communion table with their sons, one an elder and two deacons, their four daughters, with their husbands who were all elders, and their grand-children who had arrived at the age of discretion. Mrs. Anderson was a woman of great energy and ability. She was very helpful to her husband in business. During the Confederate War she nursed and cared for many a poor wounded soldier, making no difference if it be a Yankee soldier who needed her tender care. She took to her heart two little orphans to whom she gave the same love and care she gave her own children, even to a college education. These two noble Christians lived together fifty-three years, and died on the same day and were buried in the same coffin.
