    1. [ANDREWS-L] Re: Pervey Andrews of Bridgwater, MA
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wm.2ADEB/1819.1 Message Board Post: I came across your message re "Pervey Andrews" at the Ancestry.com message board. I believe you mean PEREZ Andrews born January 17, 1813 in Livermore Maine and son of Lucius Andrews and Olive (Gilmore) Andrews both originally from Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Perez Andrews was born in Maine however his father (Lucius) removed to Livermore from Bridgewater along with Lucius's father Zephaniah Andrews (1760-1823) and mother Hepsibah "Polly" (Luscsomb) Andrews (1766-1815) roughly at the turn of the 19th century. Lucius Andrews's brother Manassah Andrews (1794-1881) was my great great grandfather. Therefore you and I are distant cousins. These Andrewses were an early Bristol County family. The progenitor was Henry Andrews from Wales who settled in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. In my family records I have "Perez F. Andrews married Betsey Wade Pratt November 20,1836 in Bridgewater, Mass." They had the following children: 1. Susan, b. May 20, 1839 m. Benjamin Harden 2. Sarah F. (no dob) m. Albert S. Gove December 31, 1863 3. Azubah S., b. 1844 m. John D. Ellerson 4 Edgar F., b.1847 m. Cora Pierce 5. Elmer P., b. 1850 6. Elijah F., b. 1854 m. Mary F. Alden Betsey Wade (Pratt) Andrews (1813-1879, wife of Perez Andrews was a daughter of Elijah Pratt and Naomi Wade from Bridgewater and Halifax, Massachusetts, Plymouth County respectively. Many of these Andrews-connected families are buried at Mt. Prospect Cemetery in Bridgewater, Massachusetts including my own line through Manassah Andrews. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Best regards, Richard B. Hall
