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.
