Recently another researcher shared with me some correspondence written by my great-grandfather's brother William E. Andrews (Illinois 1861-1942). W.E. Andrews writes that his own parents were Joseph Andrews and Susannah Ellis; his paternal grandparents were Richard Andrews and Mary Lane and that his paternal great-grandparents were John Andrews and Sarah-"somebody" He also has written that the family came into America from SCOTLAND after the battle of Culladen Moor (in about 1750.) Many on-line researchers declare that the John Andrews mentioned here is the son of Thomas an immigrant from ENGLAND and Sarah Ellis, daughter of Benjamin Ellis. Many other researchers provide further details about this couple, such as John Andrews will of 1764 which is available on line and states that his sons are Frederick and Stephen. An explanation as to why Richard is not mentioned is that because he was so young (born 1756) he was not recognized in the will. With this "new" information, I am questioning this hypothesis. Does anyone have any information that can help me sort this out? I am sincerely grateful for any information. Thank you.
