Biography

http://www.ghotes.net/andrews/ANDREWS%20JOURNAL-1.pdf 2) Mjr. William Andrews, c1628-1673, Northampton County, purchased 1,000 acres of land from Thomas Taylor in 1643 (N46, Whitelaw, p. 206) and gave it to Joane & Thomas Harmanson in 1665 for their four sons. Whitelaw notes Joane as the daughter of William Andrews, Jr. but the original document in Virginia Land Causes, p. 60, does not show any relationship. A Joan Andrew and her son were transported in 1654 by Thomas Harmanson and there was a John Andrew listed with the persons transported. (Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol. 1, p. 294) Do we dare raise the possibility that Ann Andrews, minor daughter of William Andrews (and step-sister of Mjr. William Andrews) and ward of Thomas Harmanson, is one and the same as Joane Harmanson, 2nd wife of Thomas Harmanson, or that he married as his 2nd wife, his ward, Ann Andrews. This puzzle gets even more interesting when Grace Andrews, daughter of Mjr. William Andrews & Dorothy Robins, marries Thomas Harmanson, Jr., son of Thomas Harmanson & Joane Andrews. If Ann Andrews is one and the same as Joane Andrews Harmanson, Grace Andrews and Thomas Harmanson, Jr. would be first cousins. 3) A Major John Andrews was at Northampton Court in 1653. John Andrews, son of William Andrews will dtd. 1654, was a minor in 1654, so there is a second John Andrews in Northampton and he may have been the above John Andrew transported by Thomas Harmanson. What, if any, connection to Lt. Col. William Andrews is not known.
