Hello Cousins, very interesting to see all the discussion on the Andrew clan. Glad to find the name of John's wife. Was John the 2nd generation in America? A researcher told me he was the son of George Andrew who came to America in 1668, married Thomasina Hurt or Hart in 1672 in Caroline co Md. Also wondered if there are any other descendants of Jeremiah who died 1799 in Guilford co NC subscribed to this list. Trying to find the deathplace of Jeremiah's son Bennet. Found wife of Jeremiah in 1820 census with Leah Andrew, Bennet's widow in Washington co IN census, Bennet's deathbed wish being for his wife to take his family and move to a free state. Jim Andrew

Hi List, I have a Mary ANDREW(S) who m. David WEBBER, 26 Jun 1781 in Caroline Co., MD. Is she a descendant of John ANDREW, (1686-1763)? I have often wondered if she was an ANDREW or the widow of an ANDREW. Thank you for any info you can give me! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

As long as we are on the ANDREW topic, I would like to ask subscribers if any have run across Eliza ANDREW in any of their lines b. ca 1803 in Caroline County, MD. I have long believed she may be the daughter of Cain Andrew. Any help would be appreciated. Garland Edgell

I'll side with you on the inferences of circumstancial evidence. We are not talking about a time or place where there was so numerous a population that a host of confusion could arise. Even today on the Eastern Shore you'd be hard pressed to find a host of individuals form comingling families who would bear such striking similarities in names and in such close proximity to one another. Furthermore, remeber that the villages and towns were tiny compared in today's terms and property sizes were much greater because more of those earlier folks actuall had to survive and hopefully prosper on the weight of their holdings in real estate and the food produced upon it. That is to say population size and density I don't believe was overwhelming, rather only sustainable. Later migrations were based I also believe on circumstances other than sustainance, which is not the debate here. Bob Ireland ----- Original Message ----- From: "E. J.

Mary's maiden name was FLETCHER and she married a CRATCHER, she had a brother, Batterton FLETCHER, and was the daughter of William FLETCHER and Elizabeth SELVEY. Elizabeth's father was Tobias SELVEY. Often after a woman marries she first rids herself of her most disliked or middle name replacing it with her maiden. Ever after she is known by her married (husband's) surname. This still happens often enough today, but on legal documents once a community assumes you married you are until the end more considered the husband's wife and therefore carry his name on all transactions. This should not be a hard to follow concept in light of the fact it still goes nearly without question today. Not to pontificate, but I know ladies today who after receiving a divorce are so intricately identified with their former husbands that the nightmare of clearing legal accounts, both joint and singular, can be overwhelming and financially burdensome ...usually them, not the men. In fact, often in a marriage many institutions make it difficult for the lady of the house to be head on any binding agreement. For example, if you are married, look to see who's name is always first on any joint accounts, home lien, mortgage, telephone bill and get a taste of what inequity your lady will suffer if ever she were disillusioned with the union and wanted to dissolve it. Don't even speak of credit. I'm sure many of the female membership of this list can vouche for this. I can't tellyou how often I would be at a restaurant or check-out counter and although "she" pays, "I" get the receipt or the change handed to me, a few times even "THEIR" credit card! ...and to make it worse, the woman are just as guilty as the men on this one!!

Am looking for Murphy and Townsend ancestors from Talbot, Caroline and Dorchester Counties of Maryland --- descendants are our grandparents Richard Wallace Murphy b 3/24/1913, d 9/11/1978 and Pearle Elizabeth Townsend, b 6/13/1909, d 4/17/1979. On the Murphy side, the first generation that I have is James C Murphy, m Sarah Ann Reese 11/14/1848 in Talbot Co. They had two children-- James Robinson and Mary Catherine. James Robinson (our gggrandfather) married Lucetta Martin Wright in 1880 and I have found good information on them from the Todd history from Caroline County. Their son, J. Raymond Murphy was our ggrandfather. He married Cora Emma Moore from Dorchester Co. Cora was the daughter of John Henry Shehee and Priscilla Travers. I think they moved to and lived in Caroline Co. I am told if I go back far enough there are some Indian connections.... On the Townsend side, I have very little. Ggrandparents were Willard Thomas Townsend b 3/4/1866, d1/6/1954 and Ida Frances Starkey b 1/29/1872 d 12/7/1941. Any help would be appreciated. Jean in Maryland

Thanks! I did not realize that Mary Cratcher/Crutcher/Fletcher 's 1765 Will specified her daughter South (Sarah) as the wife of John Andrew. Now the question is should we use Cratcher, Crutcher, or Fletcher as the last name.

I agree with both Robert Ireland and E. J. German. There is enough circumstanial evidence to at least say that Sarah Cratcher was the wife of John Andrew (d. 1787) of Caroline County, Maryland. Besides the several sources that E. J. German gave there are also these. The will of Mary Snow, of Dorchester Co., MD, will dated 24 Sep. 1773, probated 11 Apr. 1774 (MD Wills Lib. 40 fol. 119) son, William Snow, tract "Chance" cont. 50 acres daughters, Rebeckar & Sarah Snow, tract "The Long Survey" cont. 50 acres. daughter, Sarah Snow, personalty son, Obediah Snow, personalty son Thomas Snow, personalty son, Henry Sonw, personalty brother Samuel Andrew, executor (most likely a half-brother) Test: William Adams, David Harper, Ann Harper Inventory of Mary Snow, of Dorchester Co., MD, dated 1774 recorded 30 March 1775, MD Inventories Lib. 122 fol. 3 value of estate 40 pounds 6 shillings 5 pence appraisers- William Harper, Daniel Payne creditors- Sam'l Kirkpatrick next-of-kin- Isaac Andrew, Sary Andrew Exec'r- Samuel Andrew Mary Snow was the daughter of Sarah (Cratcher) Andrew apparently by a previous husband. It is speculated that he was Obediah King, Jr. who died intestate in Dorchester Co., MD in 1732, about the same time that Mary (??) Snow was born. The only problem here is that his (Obediah King's) Adm. Acct. stated that he left only his widow, Sarah, as his heir. Mary Cratcher and Frances "Frankey" Hackett were sisters of Batterton Fletcher of Dorchester Co., MD. All three of them were originally from the Eastern Shore of VA.

The article, Andrew Lord (1702-1772)of the Northwest Fork of the Nanticoke, and Some Descendants, appearing in Volume 41, No.4 of The Bulletin, the quarterly of the Maryland Gen. Society, includes the following info. For a reprint, send a 5X8 SASE to: J German, 35900 Birch Hollow Lane, Purcellville, VA 20132. Mary Cratcher/Crucher's Will of 14 Oct 1765, is abstracted in the Md. Cal. Wills, Vol 13, p. 92, but a correction is given in Volume 16, p. ix. As corrected, it shows that several of Andrew Lord’s children are named in Mary Croucher’s will, and Andrew’s son Crutcher Lord is specifically identified as her grandchild. Her daughters, living in 1765, according to that will, were Danier Sulivane, the wife of John; South (Sarah) Andrew, wife of John; and Medilla Mary Thompson, possibly the wife of Charles. Mary Crucher’s will also names Mary Snow as her grand daughter, provides a legacy of her dwelling place to William Snow, and mentions Ann Harper, Frankey Hachet, and Henry, Abel, South and Arrena Lord, but no relationships are given.

Hi, Margaret "Peggy" Collins is a daughter of Abraham Collins (1743-1818) and Jane Andrew. She married Andrew Lord in 1804 and remarried Soloman Kenton in 1823. I also have Jane Andrew as the daughter of John Andrew, but have not seen a record that clearly indicates that Sarah Cratcher was the wife of John Andrew. I'd really like to make this connection. Do you have info from the record that clearly shows this? I would love to share information from these lines and would be happy to send you a GEDCOM.
