Sinopsis
Excerpt from Discourse Commemorative of Rev. Rufus Anderson, D.D., LL. D: Late Corresponding Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Together With Addresses at the Funeral
In that little group of sixteen men, soon joined by others from the Province of Ulster, was James Anderson, the great-grandfather of Dr. Rufus Anderson. To no other settlement perhaps in our country did there come immi grants more homogeneous, more strictly religious, more deliberate in forming their Opinions, or more inflexible in maintaining them. Neither poverty-stricken nor wealthy, they prized their faith and freedom above all treasures.
They were Scotch, pure and simple; 1 a race characterized by thoughtfulness, firmness, love of liberty and love of country. The name of Anderson from Londonderry appears among the resolute men at Bunker Hill General Stark was of the same kith and kin, and it may be affirmed without exaggeration that the blood of Londonderry has reddened every battlefield over which the flag of our nation waves.2 Transmission of qualities is certain; an individu ality of type will go on from generation to generation, and national accent marks the mind, as truly as the tongue, of a people.

Excerpt from Discourse Commemorative of Rev. Rufus Anderson, D.D., LL. D : Late Corresponding Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Together With Addresses at the Funeral
Two hundred years take us back to the time of the Covenanters, and to heaths of Scotland red with the blood of witnesses for Christ's cross and crown. The atrocities of Claverhouse and his dragoons prepared the minds of a God-fearing company in Argyleshire for migration to the north of Ireland. In the famous siege of Londonderry it was Protestant Scotch colonists whose bravery held that small city against King James's twenty thousand men, who for four months invested the place. The happy revolution effected by William of Orange, however, left them still subject to various annoyances, such as paying tithes toward a distasteful establishment; and before many years passed, a company of sixteen men with their families sailed for New England. Their first winter, a severe one, was from necessity spent on shipboard in the harbor of Portland, Maine. They then came round by the way of the Merrimac to Haverhill in Massachusetts; and thence groped through an untrodden wilderness to a spot in New Hampshire, since known as Londonderry. That was one hundred and sixty-one years ago.
In that little group of sixteen men, soon joined by others from the Province of Ulster, was James Anderson, the great-grandfather of Dr. Rufus Anderson. To no other settlement perhaps in our country did there come immigrants more homogeneous, more strictly religious, more deliberate in forming their opinions, or more inflexible in maintaining them. Neither poverty-stricken nor wealthy, they prized their faith and freedom above all treasures.
