Andrew was born in England about 1623 and came to Boston in 1636, thence to Lynn in 1638. He and his brother John preceeded their parents to New England as shown by two depositions made by Andrew. On March 26, 1661, claiming to be then about 38 years old, he made affidavit to the Court at Ipswich, that he had been an inhabitant of Lynn about 22 or 23 years, and in June 1669, he testified in court concerning the estate of Frances Axley, saying he was about 49 years old. Andrew became a freeman in 1645, and was very active in Town affairs. He served as selectman, on road and land committees. He also served as trial juror and on Grand Jury 1650-1677. The clerk of the courts office of Essex County has many letters on file in his clear legiable handwriting. He was deputy to the General Court from l880-1883 inclusive.
Andrew was married three times. His first wife was Bethiah, who he married about 1650. Andrew and Bethiah had eight children, all were born in Lynn. Bethiah died July 2, 1672. Her maiden name might have been Gedney (Lynn Historical Register 1913), or Townsend (Warner-Harrington Genealogy). His second wife, married June 4, 1673, was Mary Neal, widow of John and the only daughter of Frances Lawes of Salem. She died June 27, 1681. His third wife, married January 10, 1681-82, was Elizabeth Conant, widow of Lot and daughter of William and Elizabeth Walton of Marblehead. Two of her sons had previously married two of Andrew's daughters.
Andrew's will was dated June 1, 1679, with a codicil added at Boston November 19, 1683. It seems that while attending the General Court, he was taken suddenly ill, as the codicil was witnessed by the members of the court. The exact date of his death is not known, but the inventory of his estate was returned November 28, 1683.
