I am looking for more information about my g-g-g-grandfather Dr. LFW ANDREWS (1802-1875), who by 1833 was a Unitarian Universalist preacher, but I believe began as a 'traveling preacher'. I have a lot of bits and pieces after 1827. Any direction on where to begin to look for him before 1827 is appreciated. I do not know whether he had formal seminary education but I do not expect that he did. He married a Methodist minister's daughter, Jane GRAY of Ohio/western PA in 1827. I have found a record of marriage in Hartford Connecticut (from transcription of Hartford Vital Records from Barbour, 1668-1852) where he officiated: Harvey, m Lydia DENSLOW, Mar 22, 1832, by Rev L F W ANDREWS He is mentioned by name in papers re: the 1833 South Carolina Universalist Convention. In the early 1840s he taught at Feasterville Academy in South Caroliina. The 1850 census records call him an editor and say he was NC born. An 1880 record of his daughter Jennie does not list her father's birthplace. He raised his family in Macon, Bibb County, GA. His children were: Lewis ANDREWS HJ ANDREWS John C ANDREWS Jane (Jennie) G ANDREWS FA ANDREWS EL ANDREWS After his wife Jane died, he married Mary LAMAR. He's listed as a "public speaker" from Macon, GA in: The Spiritualist Register for 1859; Facts, Philosophy, Statistics of Spiritualism. U[riah] Clark, Editor and Proprietor. Auburn, New York: U. Clark, Spiritual Clarion Office. This is from another account: The Rev. L. F. W. Andrews (1802-1875) was a Universalist minister through much of the antebellum period in the Southern States. His Two Opinions, or Salvation or Damnation (Macon, Ga., 1837) is a good glimpse into the theology of the time and place. Thanks!
