Biography:

ANDERSON, Leroy (fl 1824)

According to the catalogue of the Library of William and Mary College, he was a student at the College in 1807 and delivered an ode at the centennial celebrations there. A collection of his papers of c.1829, acquired by the College in 1942, includes a poem, "Archbishop Sharpe of York and the Highwayman," and correspondence about subscriptions to the publication of a French and English Declaration of Independence to be issued by Anderson, Sons, and Co. in Washington DC. So he might have worked in publishing. (Swem Library Mss. Sm Coll Anderson) HJ
