Biography

Lieutenant Noel Andrew served with Rhode Island Militia during the American Revolution.

Noel Andrew was from Coventry RI, and is recorded on the 1777 Rhode Island military census. He was a prosperous farmer and miller in Pownal VT, and father of 8 girls.

His name can be found on an early deed in Pownal as from St. Croix NY. This indicates a small community in Hoosic NY, (contiguous to Pownal) that contained a church that may be of interest in further research. Noel is known to have indicated he was a Methodist in later life. This was not the popular religion of the day.

Noel Andrew and his family of ten persons were enumerated in 1790 (City, County, State): Pownal, Bennington, Vermont

Noel Andrew and his family of five persons were enumerated in Pownal, Vermont in 1810

Noel Andrew and his family of two persons were at home in 1820 (City, County, State): (Shaftsbury) Bennington, Bennington, Vermont. Census Enumeration Date: August 7, 1820.
