Any info on where this family went or are buried is greatly needed.

However, since my Susan P. Stafford (Messick) was b. 1852, that makes George the age of perhaps Susan's parents. I'm hoping someone (perhaps you) will have some other info that helps me connect. The indian reference seems to be a link here.

Denton newspapers are available, and are indexed. I read about 75 years of them, looking for my ancestors. They were free then, but I believe there is now a charge. They cover about 1850 up till past WWI at least. (that's when I quit reading.) Many other cities are also available at this site. Try ANewspaperArchive.com.

Hi there Rick & Carol, This Andrew family is the line that I descend from. The A. Curtis Andrew at American Corner is a 2nd cousin of my paternal grandmother. You can see family bible of this Andrew family at my web-site; http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~carolines/ click on "Vital Records" then on "An Andrew Family Bible" Allen Curtis Andrew's father, son of William Elisha Andrew, was sheriff of Caroline Co., MD just as Curtis' brother Louis C. Andrew was later.

Carol, Here is an excerpt from a newspaper article written about 1974 about American Corner, Caroline Co., Md...    " American Corner proper has an estimated population of 75 to 100 (since it isn't incorporated there's no official count), but the surrounding area claims a population of more than 1000.     It's leading citizen is A. Curtis Andrew, the 35 year old president of the three member Board of County Commissioners. He is also the proprietor of the A. Curtis Andrew Auction, which holds forth in a converted cannery on Thursday nights, and the A. Curtis Andrew farm which was awarded to his ancestors by the English monarchy. Andrew still possesses the original sheepskin deed." I believe this fellow and the auction barn are still there in American Corner. Perhaps writing him could help you. Sorry, I don't have the address, but it is such a small place a letter would surely reach him with just a zip code. The complete article is at <http://daffin.org/TheirCornerOfAmerica> The formatting is still a little rough as I have not gotten around to "polishing" it up.

Carol Andrews writes: > I am searching for information on a John Andrew, Mark Andrew and a Curtis > Andrew. Hi Carol, This information on early Caroline County ANDREWs comes from "Caroline County marriage Licenses 1774 - 1865". John ANDREW married Elizabeth MITCHELL on 29 Dec 1863 in Caroline County, Maryland. John B ANDREW married Elizabeth IRELAND on 15 Jan 1833 in Caroline County, Maryland. I did not kind any marriages in this time period for your other 2 names. I hope this is some help to you. Genevieve Bundy

Hi, I received this from another mailing list & thought it might be helpful Red Men Association: http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/masonicmuseum/fraternalism/red_men.htm Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

I am searching for information on a John Andrew, Mark Andrew and a Curtis Andrew. The time period I am searching should be only up to 1890. I know that Mark and Curtis left Caroline County MD for Guilford Co. NC in the late 1700's. Do you have any books that might contain some information to help me trace this family.

There seems to be quite a few folks looking for Messick families. Thought I'd mention that there was a Messick family living in Port Penn, New Castle Co., DE, in the 1950s-60s. I went to school with the only daughter (Donna) when I lived nearby. Of course, the family could have been there much earlier and later -- or even still there. Just thought I'd mention it to give some of you a hint for a Delaware area to search if you haven't already located relatives in that region. (Port Penn is on the Delaware River, south of the Delaware Chesapeake Canal; it is southeast of Elkton, Cecil Co., MD.)
