Andrews

Descendants of Lieutenant John Andrews
of Ipswich, Massachusetts

This branch of the tree begins in Ipswich, Massachusetts with LT. John Andrews.  It is a bit interesting and slightly confusing. A marriage between first cousins twice removed in the sixth generation causes it to loop back on itself to brothers  Joseph and John of the 3rd generation.  Joseph and John eventually became the Great Grandfathers of Jonathan Andrews and Hannah Andrews who married on 12 Nov. 1812.
