The Anderson & Rondeau Family Tree
Notes
John was ordained a Deacon in the church in 1651
From email from Darren & Tim Anderson:
!He was one of the first settlers in Connecticut and sailed aboard the famed Mary and John ship that brought Puritans to the new world stopping in Massachusetts. He stayed in Massachusetts a few years before joining a second group of settlers who were on there way to Connecticut to join those he originally sailed over with. There he became one of the first deputy governors of the colony. He became a very successful woodworker whose designs are, I gather, still known. Wikipedia says of him "He was, and still is, known for using the foliated vine design, which depicts vines and blossoms carved in shallow relief with flat surfaces". He was later ordained as a deacon in the church. Perhaps most interesting is that a house that he built later in his life (1675) still stands. It was apparently a controversial home in that he had to petition the courts for permission to build in this part of Windsor. There is a good view of it on google earth if you search for 37 elm street windsor ct and then zoom into street level view. I have a link to a picture of it below.

There is an early drawing of the home here:
http://www.windsorct.org/winrev/maps.htm (about 1/2 way down the page).From what I gather from the histories is the Moore family eventually goes to Northern Ireland but returned to the USA to Pennsylvania by the 1740's. At some point in Ireland they became Quakers. There were a number of Quakers in Northern Ireland and most eventually found their way to the United States. They evidently remained loyal to the British after the Revolution and moved to Ontario. We tried to find out info on these folks but came up blank except for finding the church in which James Moore and Anne Starr were married in. It is not only still standing but still used by the same congregation. Once again a link to a good picture is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paxson/graphics-pax/mtghse.html . You have to go about 1/2 way down the page to find the New Garden Meeting.
