----------

"The son of Daniel & Katherine (Ferrier or Forrer) Andrews, he married Susan Brown ca. 1858 and fathered Emma C. (b. 11/22/64 - married John B. Hess), Emanuel (b. 01/06//67), William Christ (b. 05/10/68), Elizabeth (b. 01/17/73 - married Charles W. Campbell), Susan (b. @1874), Harry (b. 10/13/76), Elam George (b. 07/20/79), and Daniel Franklin Jr. (b. 02/27/83). In 1860, he was a shoemaker living in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He is in the 1863-65 draft registration still residing there but during the Civil War gave unincorporated Andrews, Lancaster County. Despite his presence in the draft registration, sometime before August 1862 he moved to Indiana, although given his presence in Lancaster County censuses, that may have been planned as a temporary move. He stood 5' 7" tall and had dark hair and blue eyes.

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty-two in Anderson, Madison County, Indiana, August 12, 1862, and mustered into federal service there September 23 as a private with Co. E, 101st Indiana Infantry. During 1862, he is noted as having several epileptic "fits" and was hospitalized on several different occasions. On May 5, 1863, he was detached to Co. K, 3rd Battalion, Pioneer Corps, where, during an alleged "fit," he fell against an operating circular saw and suffered a "fracture of left tibia . . . also loss of great toe of left foot." Forever after, his left leg was three inches shorter than before. He discharged by surgeon's certificate to date January 6, 1864, yet appears on the 101st Indiana rolls on detached service for more than a year afterward, suggesting the regiment was unaware of his status. On January 30, 1864, he applied for a disability pension and received it.

He was back in Pennsylvania by no later than 1870 working as a cigar maker, but by ten years later had returned to the shoemaking business. He died from "apoplexy (cerebral)" with "mitral regurgitation" a contributing factor either at Lancaster County hospital in Lancaster Township (says his death certificate) or at his daughter Emma's home in Lancaster (says his obituary in the Lancaster Examiner).

Mennonite vital records claim 1838 as his birth year, which disagrees with his stated enlistment age. Typical of the era, the censuses offer no help in pinpointing his birth year. He is in the 1860 census as a twenty-one-year-old, is thirty-one in 1870, forty in 1880, fifty-nine in 1900, and sixty-nine in 1910."
