Andrews 1864-1865 with a genealogy of the Andrews Family”; Ammah Andrews was born in Litchfield, Herkimer Co., New York, a twin brother of Amasa and died in Hudson, St. Croix Co., Wis., January 5, 1888. He was married three times. His first wife was Laura Andrews, probably a cousin (who was born June 5, 1803 and died at Commerce, Washington County, Michigan, May 22, 1842). He married April 6, 1843 at Commerce, Washington County, Michigan, as his second wife Martha Fuller, who died in Hudson August 22, 1850, age 38 years, four months and 24 days. His third wife Catherine Scott (1820-1864), died in Hudson. Ammah Andrews was a carpenter, as was his father, and came to Hudson about 1847. He was the builder of many of the fine homes of Hudson in the early days. He served a year or so as a carpenter for the Army in Tennessee during the Civil War. With his son Emory, he moved to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1868. His sons Henry and Howard followed the next year. He returned to Hudson where he died. From ‘Hudson’s Distinguished Men and Women” by Willis H. Miller: Another early comer whose handiwork is still extremely visible in Hudson, was Ammah Andrews (1801-1888), builder and contractor, who settled here in 1847. A great number of the beautiful old homes, many of which were built before the Civil War, were planned and constructed by Ammah Andrews. He was chairman at the first meeting of the county commissioners for St. Croix County in 1848.
