Judge Thomas J. Anderson, Elected Official, Ohio House of Representatives, and Jurist. Judge Anderson is possibly the best-known judge to sit in Marion County Ohio before the advent of the Civil War. Anderson was seated on the bench when the case of "Bill" (some sources list the surname of Mitchell) a black man who had arrived in Marion two years prior, was claimed by Slave Hunters to be the property of a Southern planter. The case was contentious, and though the Southerns lost it, they did not intend to give up Bill as free. In the commotion that followed in the courtroom, and the near riot locals started over the audacity of the Southerns to refuse to abide by a court decision, Anderson was able to get Bill, take him safely to the law office John Bartram, and along with Bartam get Bill out of Marion and headed northward before the Southerners could free themselves from the commotion. The legacy of Judge Anderson in Marion County's law community was one of honor, duty, and reverence for many years.
Anderson's life is documented in The Life and Letters of Judge T.J. Anderson and His Wife, a 1904 book published by the couple's son James Anderson in 1904.
