ROBERT T. ANDERSON, son of John Anderson, a prominent and influential 
Baptist, was born in Carolina county, Va.; April 9, 1792.  He finished 
his education in the classical school of Rev. Mr. Nelson.  At the age of 
23 years, he was married to his cousin, Patsy Lowry, and three years 
later, emigrated to Green county, Ky.  In 1851, he professed religion, 
and was baptized by William Warder.  In 1828, he moved to Adair county, 
and united with Mt. Gilead church, where he was soon afterwards set 
apart to the ministry.  In 1830, he located in Russellville as a school 
teacher, which occupation he followed most of his life.  In this 
profession he was preeminent, and was of incalculable benefit to the 
Baptists of Bethel Association, as well as others. He had a department 
for deaf mutes in his school, and succeeded in teaching some of this 
unfortunate class to articulate with more or less distinctness.  He 
conducted schools at several different points within the bounds of 
Bethel Association, and usually preached to churches near his residence.  
His first pastorate was that of Pleasant Grove church, in Logan county, 
to which he was called in 1830.  In 1832, he was called to the care of 
Hopewell church, in Robertson county, Tenn., and to that Keysburg, in 
Logan county, in 1834.  He served these churches till 1838, when he 
accepted a call to the church at Hopkinsville, to which town he moved, 
in 1840, and took the additional charges of Olivet and West Union 
churches.  After a few years, he resigned the care of Hopkinsville 
church, and accepted that of Salem.  During his ministerial labors in 
Christian and Caldwell counties, which continued several years, he 
gathered Locust Grove and Pleasant Grove churches, to both of which he 
ministered for some time, and was pastor of the latter at the time of 
his death.  In the winter of 1854, this church, which is in Caldwell 
county, enjoyed an extensive revival.  Mr. Anderson labored excessively 
during the inclement season, by which he contracted a severe cold.  He 
continued to suffer from this cause several weeks, when he was attacked 
in the right arm with neuralgia.  This disease gradually moved to his 
head, and, locating over his right eye, ultimated in apoplexy, of which 
he died, June 8, 1854.
	Mr. Anderson was not a brilliant genius, but a man of strong mind, 
clear judgment and superior culture.  He was an able, earnest preacher, 
was very industrious in his holy calling, and his labors were crowned 
with success.  In addition to his pastoral services, he is said to have 
performed more labor among the destitute than any other preacher in 
Bethel Association, in his day.
