We are both descended from Samuel and Rebecca Angello Mapes Andrews. He is descended through Samuel's and Rebecca's son Samuel Henry Andrews. Here is the info that I found of particular interest. All of this is speculation, but it is good speculation. Samuel H. had a son Nelson and a son Henry Sherman. There is a Nelson born to Roswell Andrews in Chenango Co. in 1810. There is a Nelson born to Asa Andrews b. 1756 and Lucy Ackley in 1799 in CT Asa and Lucy also had a son Sherman in 1790 The above Asa is the son of Nehemiah Andrews b. 1722 in CT and Hannah Borden. They have a son Eli b. 1753, Samuel b. 1755, and other children. Richard sent me a letter which mentions the Biographical History of Northeastern Ohio, Embracing the Counties of Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake, 1893. In it, it says that Samuel Andrews b. 1787 (of Cherry Valley, Ashtabula Co., OH) had 15 children. I have 14 children. Richard also sent from Lucy Ward's diary - July 28th 1903 from Calphurnia Andrews Hopkins. Calphurnia was a daughter of Benoni In this little note, it says - I attended the celebration fifty years ago, a little girl of twelve, and the impression of its greatness has not left me; the speeches; the poem; the dear old people, Uncle Elisha and Aunt Fila, especially impressed me.......... It sounds like Benoni had another brother Elisha (15th child). Is Elisha the Elisha that settled on Hayes Road with Benoni, and William. Could our John be the son of Nehemiah? If John was born abt 1850 he would fit into this family. Here is another possibility................ Samuel bought property in 1821 from Hozea Crandall. Hozea may be Hulda's father. The land was in Ashtabula Co., OH. At the time Samuel was in Chenango Co., NY. One of the owners of the land before Hozea owned it was a Roswell Hotchkiss. There is a Achsah Andrews m. to a Daniel Hotchkiss in 1782 CT. Achsah had a brother John Hodges Andrews b. 1754. I don't have any other info about John Hodges. Achsah and John Hodges had sisters Sarah and Abigail. Coincidence.......................... Also in John's will it says - I give and bequeath to my fourth son James all that part of said premises lying and being in the south end of P premises, south of P before mentioned John A. I thought the abouve was John A. It is possible that it is John H. I assume that his son John is a jr. and they would carry the same middle names. Anyway, I thought I would throw this info out there to see if anyone can make any connections or provide us with more info. Does anyone have an Elisha Andrews and a Fila????? Anything new????? I haven't heard from some of you in an age. I sent to Chenango Co. for land records. Because of the cost, I started with the two years that was most logical to me. No luck. I will have to try again. Sometime back, I had found something (somehow I have lost it) stating that John Andrews was in Greene in 1802. I assume that was Greene, Chenango Co. Does anyone have that and the info that went with it? Sharie Oceanside, CA

I made an error in my typing - In line - Could our John be the son of Nehemiah? I have John b. abt 1850 it should be abt 1750.
