Abraham W., son of Abraham and Lucy (Smith) Anderson, married Annah Tilson Waterman, daughter of Capt. John Waterman of New Gloucester. He chose the medical profession and graduated from the Maine Medical School in the class of 1829. He located at Gray Corner, where he spent a long and useful life. It has been said that no physician in Cumberland County ever had a more extended and successful practice than did he; and, from our own personal knowledge, we believe this to be true.
