Family legend holds that ANDREW was a circuit-riding preacher and left his family for California. He supposedly was last heard from at Pennington, CA in 1875 when he contacted his family saying he was sick and needed money. Since HANNAH was listed as the head of the household in 1860 one would assume he was gone at that time also. He is not found in any census in Missouri from 1850 on.
