In 1777 Andrew joined the 1st Battalion 2nd Company of the Bucks County (Warminster Township, Pennsylvania) Militia as a private under Captain Joseph Hart.

Andrew was one of Milford's earliest settlers. His wife Hannah and seven children moved to the area in 1806 from Baltimore County, MD (he had 9 children total). Quite often referred to as "Father Megrue", Andrew was active in the development of the town of Milford. He served as Justice of Peace and he and his family were close friends with the Gatch family. The spelling of the Megrue last name has changed significantly over time and can also be found as "MeGrew" or "MaGrew".

Andrew served as a Grand Juror in Williamsburg and devoted a great amount of time to developing better education in Milford. In addition, he aided in the development of Miami Township and Clermont County.
