Second son of Sergt.-Major Wm. Anderson of the 21st Fusiliers. Born in
camp at Tayantroga, America, 4th July, 1777, and bapt. 28th Aug. same
year. On the return of the 21st to Scotland the sergt.-major was
discharged with a pension and settled at his native city, Glasgow.
Gen. James Inglis Hamilton, the colonel of the 21st, who was a
Lanarkshire man, being on a visit to Glasgow some years later,
happened to meet his former sergt.-major and gave him money for
educational purposes. Later on he took little James Anderson to his
family seat at Murdestoun and introduced him to his maiden sister Miss
Christina Hamilton. The general and his sister educated James Anderson
and his brothers at Glasgow Grammar School. Through his patron’s army
interest James Anderson was appointed Cornet in the Scots Greys at the
age of fifteen under the name of James Inglis Hamilton. (_Old

letter to the Misses Anderson). Hamilton’s body was found on the
field—shot through the heart in addition to other wounds, and rifled.
His trusty sword was gone, but the scabbard and silken sash remained.
These relics were transmitted to Lieut. Jno. Anderson, the colonel’s
brother, who d. at Glasgow 3rd Dec., 1816, from wounds recd. at

Footnote 12:
Promoted capt. 20th July, and placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816.

There is some doubt as to whether this officer was actually present at
Waterloo, as in a contemporary list of officers of the Scots Greys who
served at this battle, in the handwriting of Lieut. J.R.T. Graham of
this regt., Lieut. Falconar is noted as being “on baggage guard at
Brussels.” It is noticeable, however, that Falconar’s name appears in
the original “Waterloo Muster-roll” of the regt. given in Part II.;
and it may be that he re-joined the Greys before the close of the
battle. Placed on h. p. 25th March, 1816. D. at Woodcot, co.

fact that the Graham family received and sheltered Prince Charles
Edward at Barrock, after his defeat at Penrith, in Dec., 1745, for a
night. The old chair in which the Prince slept, and the remains of his
plaid (which plaid he gave Mrs. Graham when he thanked her on leaving
in the morning), are now in the possession of Miss Graham, to whom the
Editor is indebted for the above details of her father and ancestors.
It is said that the Prince fought at Culloden in someone else’s
plaid—having given away his own.
