General Notes: Husband - James Andrews


He was married in Ireland, and in 1799 concluded to seek a home for himself and family in the United States, where so many of his friends had recently immigrated. After landing in America, the family proceeded to Pennsylvania, and made their first permanent location near Bavington, in Smith township, Washington County. He first located on a piece of land as a tenant, but was soon able to purchase land, and in later years removed to a farm in the northern part of Smith township, where the remainder of his days were passed. The place was thereafter known as the "Old Andrews farm." In politics he was a Democrat. He was among the prominent cattle dealers of those days, and drove cattle over the mountains to the markets of the eastern cities, eventually succeeding in securing a goodly amount of this world's goods. The children of his family were seven in number.
