My Dr. Reverend Lewis F.Wilson ANDREWS is son of John ANDREWS, a Presbyterian minister in the early 1800s. I have them in western PA after 1813 when John transferred to the Washington Presbytery and eventually LFW went to school in Washington Co., Pa. In 1814 John started a religious newspaper in Chilcothe Ohio. I know John transferred to Washington Co. Presbytery from the "Presbytery of West Lexington" and I believe that is located in Kentucky (not Massachusetts). I have LFW born approx. 1802 from census and biographies about his later role as a Unitarian Universalist preacher. He is in the 1830 census index in Pennsylvania (Washington Co.) but I haven't viewed the record. (another researcher had the index on a fee-service) I don't believe census records that early were as helpful as later records. He is in the 1850 Bibb County GA census with his family. Unfortunately this census claims NC-born, and given the family's lives that I have documented, I think it's a mistake. He died before 1880. I am now looking for his father and mother John and <wife> name unknown c. 1800.in either western PA, KY or OH. His mother is suspiciously absent in all accounts I have found...given the times, I suppose it's not unusual but it doesn't help me! I might guess his mother is Helen because later LFW's oldest daughter is named Helen (it doesn't carry from his wife's family - his wife was Jane and her mother was Harriet). Thanks for any direction that can be recommended. Christina Auch mailto:theauchs@earthlink.net Personal Family History website http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~familiesacrosstime/index.htm
Hello All, Regarding Ancestral Files from the LDS, I have found some HUGE mistakes. These records were given to the LDS by church members, as well as researchers not members of the LDS. One MUST find out who submitted the information, (usually given at the end of the reports), contact them and find out their source. When I called the people who submitted the wrong information on my Andrews line and questioned some entries, we did set some things straight. I knew some of the info was wrong, because it dealt with g/aunts and uncles for which we had proof. These records can be corrected if you find a mistake, by the way. I'd say go with caution and have backup proof.

It looks like we're talking about two families, with similar names and lives, but still two distinct families: From another researcher, with more reliable sources than LDS: William Andrews, married to Abigail Graves Source #1: Hinman, Royal R. Conneticut Puritan Settlers. Press of Case, Tiffany and Company. Hartford. 1852. ANDREWS, WILLIAM, was an early settler at Hartford; he was in the first land division in 1639, and had thirty acres; he was the first school-master, and contracted with the townsmen, to teach a year, for 16, in 1640. He was a Juror in March, 1644. He resided south of Little River, adjoining the river, west of John Hopkins' lot, and west by the road from the Mill to the country. It was voted, Dec. 6, 1642 to appropriate 30 for the school in Hartford. In 1643, 16 was ordered to be paid Wm. Andrews, as teacher. William Andrews had a son Samuel, b. at Hartford, Oct. 20, 1645. His daughter Abigail, d. in 1653: probably other children. There was a William Andrews in the New Haven Colony, an early settler there. He is in the list of families there, in 1643, with eight persons in his family. He was also a subscriber to the fundamental agreement made in a general meeting of all the free planters of New Haven: probably in 1639. (See note to ATWATER.) He was also at East Haven afterwards, and was not the same Wm. Andrews, the early settler of this name, at Hartford. By the same researcher: Samuel ANDREWS b. 1632 in England Marriage 1661 to Elizabeth PECK (parents William and Elizabeth PECK) Death Source #1: Charles Henry Stanley Davis, "Early Families of Wallingford, Connecticut" - with a new index by Thomas L. Hollowak - (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc., 1979), pp. 9-10. He settled in Wallingford in 1670. Made his will 17 April 1703, amount of estate331 pounds, 2 shillings, 6 pence.

Looking closer at the LDS record, and seeing the sources cited below, I believe the LDS record is erred. For one, it has Elizabeth Peck marrying at the young age of 9. I suppose I've answered my question about the credibility of the source.

Aaron was born in 1816 in TN and Mildred was born in 1823 in Mo. There is a marriage listed for them in 1839. Her mother and father were born in KY and no info on Aaron's mother and father's birthplace. In your posting you mentioned a Nancy being their daughter. I guess this isn't a match but if you have any other info I would be interested. My Grandmother Kate Andrews Tegler was of cherokee heritage and we have been trying to trace this lineage also. We do not know whether the cherokee heritage is on the Andrews or Barnes side. There is no knowledge of a Nancy. Mary Palmer

Ancestral File Number 24TC-VW shows Elizabeth PECK's parents are Henry PECK and Joan ALLEN. Elisha would have been my "7th great grand uncle" - I think figuring that out will take me back to the reference books! I don't have any of his descendants. Best wishes "cousin".
