William Anson's son, Claude Alonso Anson, born in 1875, worked for Harrington & Richardson of Worcester, Massachusetts.

Anson & Deeley licensed their eponymous boxlock in the USA to Harrington and Richardson “because of a large demand for double barreled buckshot rifles.” (Sic) H&R was the sole licensee in the USA for the A & D between 1880 and 1885.
