Mary Wright was a daughter of Peter and Alice Wright of Oyster Bay, Long Island.
Peter and Alice Wright were progenitors of Nelson Stoyell Hollingshead, who settled in Minersville Utah.
Samuel Andrews was closely associated with Isaac Horner; they married sisters and removed from Oyster Bay to New Jersey at about the same time. Isaac Horner and his wife Lydia Wright are also progenitors of Nelson Stoyell Hollingshead.
Other Progenitors of Nelson Stoyell Hollingshead, who came to America and settled in New Jersey were:
—John Adams and Elenor Newton;
— Isaac Conrow and Sarah Darling;
—Isaac Conrow's Mother, the Widow Conrow and her second Husband, Matthew Allen;
— Thomas Stokes and Mary Barnard;
— John Rudderow and Lucy Stiles;
— John Hollingshead and Grace Scott;

ANDREWS
By John P. Dornan
1. SAMUEL ANDREWS, the progenitor of the largest family of the name in West New Jersey, He was born in the 163os; buried on 19 Sept. 1693 in Mansfield Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. He married Mary Wright on 30 Oct. 1663 at the house of her uncle, Anthony Wright, in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. Mary Wright was born in the 1640s at Saugus (now Lynn) or at Sandwich, Massachuessetts; she is the daughter of Peter and Alice Wright; she died about 1699-1700 at Mansfield, , New Jersey. (NYGBR 6:97; CfdQR.)
Samuel Andrews was an early settler in Jamaica, Long Island, the town granting him a houselot in the Southern Quarter, next to Daniel Denton, on 18 Feb. 1655/6, and he was one of the Third Squadron appointed to cut hay there on Nov. 25 following. He was a carpenter and shipwright, he agreed on 24 Feb. 1675/6 to build for Reineer Williams and John Shackerly, both of the city of New York, a sloop or vessel, for the sum of £60. (ICY. Col. Mss., 25:74.) He evidently had built a house on his lot, for on 18 Mar. 1661/2 he sold all his "right, title and interest of house and lot in Jamaica" to Luke Watson, having purchased on 27 January previous from Richard and Josias Latting of Huntington, L.I., a house and homelot on the main street in Oyster Bay. (JaTR 1:2, 4, 6,, 15; OyTR 1:149.)
Samuel Andrews was an early member of the Society of Friends at Oyster Bay (NYGBR 2:10) and occupied positions of civic and religious trust there; he was appointed surveyor to lay out his own land in 1668-70, and the West Neck in 1671; selected constable in 1669 and 1676, and made an original purchase from the Indians on 1 June 1682. (OyTR 1:53, 136, 218, 226.) He and John Feke built the first Friends meeting house at Oyster Bay, on land his wife's uncle Anthony Wright had given to the Meeting. on 15 Oct. 1672 and both he and his wife were grantees in the deed in trust for the Meeting. He was one of the wealthiest men of the community in Sep., 1683, only one other man being assessed equally with him and only one higher. (OyTR 1:691; NYCD 2:306.)
He took up land in Burlington County, New Jersey, before 8 Nov. 1683, had it surveyed in June, 1684, and was taxed as the owner of 500 acres the same year (WJD-Revel:43, 46; PMHB 15:346) but the deed [op52] from William Biddle was not signed until 10 July 1688. (WJD B:222; NJA 21:426.)

He seems to have gone back and forth between Long Island and New Jersey from 1683 to 1685/6, probably building his new house in the summer months and spending the winter seasons at Oyster Bay. He witnessed a deed signed in his presence at Oyster Bay on 5 Dec. 1684 but served on the grand jury at the Burlington Court on 8 May 1685 and was back in Oyster Bay again. on June 1st, when he gave his wife an unlimited power of attorney to sell, in his absence, any of his Lands there. He evidently contemplated a permanent removal to N.J. in the fall, for on October 8th a Friends committee at Oyster Bay was directed to secure a deed for the meeting house grounds from him and Isaac Horner "before they goe from here." He was still in Oyster Bay on the 20th and 24th when he sold some lands and again on 24 May 1686, but had finally settled in N.J. before 6 Oct. 1686, when he served as a petit juror at the Burlington Court (OyTR 1:317, 320, 338; BuCt), and his dau. Hannah was buried at Mansfield on 7 Nov. 1686. He was a grand juror again 12 Feb. 1687/8, a petit juror 8 May 1692 and again a grand juror 8 Aug. 1692, which is the last time that his name appears in the public records of New Jersey. (BuCtBk.)
He transferred his Quaker membership from the Oyster Bay Mtg. to the Chesterfield Meeting. in Burl. Co., and on 6 Jan. 1686/7 a mtg. committee was appointed "to lay out a Burying place upon Samuel Andrews land, by his consent, for ye Conviencye of Friends thereabouts" and on 3rd Feb. following, the committee reported that they "had pitched upon a place in Samuel Andrews land containing two acres." As of Spring Hill, West New Jersey, he sold to Joseph Ludlum on 15 Nov. 1687 all his Oyster Bay land including the dwelling house, and on 4 June 1688 his remaining shares of the Oak Meadows. (OyTR 1:448, 499.) Spring Hill was situated on the north side of the southernmost of two little brooks that form by their confluence the main north branch of Craft's Creek in the present Mansfield Twp., Burl. Co., abt. 2 miles north from Columbus and included within its bounds the site of the present Mansfield mtg. house and the original burying ground. The Chesterfield records state that "Samuel Andrews was buried ye 19th Day of ye 7th Mo. 1693 at the Burying place near his own home" and that his son Jacob was buried there the 1st of "ye 10th Mo. 1687." (Cfd QR.)
By his will, dated 12 Sep. and probated 10 Nov. 1693 (NJW-unrec. 1:337; BuCt 1:20), Samuel Andrews gave his wife Mary one-half of his personal estate, the use of one-half of his dwelling [op53]
house and of one-half of 300 acres of land during her life; to son Edward the other half of the personal estate, the dwelling house and 300 acres, together with all of his mother's share at her death, he being ordered to pay ,£20 to his sister Mary, who also received 100 acres of woodland; to son Peter, 130 acres of land, ",but Peter is not to sell it"; to dau. Hester, 40 acres of meadow land; and to son Mordecai only 36 acres of land, as he had already had 140 acres by deed of gift dated 15 Mar. 1689/90. All nine of his children were born at Oyster Bay. (NYGBR 3:186.)
Children of Samuel' Andrews and Mary Wright:
+2. Mordecai 2, b. 11 Aug. 1664; d. bef. 19 June 1736 at Little Egg Harbor (then in Burl. Co., but now in Ocean Co.), N.J.; md. Mary —.
3. Peter, b. 12 Jan. 1668/9; d. in May, 1669, at Oyster Bay.
4. Peter2, b. 28 May 1671; d. in Mansfield, evid. unm., before 2 Apt, 1695, when Mordecai sold 100 acres of the 130 acres devised to Peter, to Obadiah Hierton. (B438; NJA 21:457.) On 24 Mar. 1698 Mordecai sold the remaining 30 acres to David Curtis, the deed reciting "to him rightfully belonging as heir to his father which was given to Peter Andrews, brother to the said Mordecai, in the will and since the decease of the said Peter the right of inheritance appertains to the said Mordecai." (WJD B:642; NJA 21:512.)
5. Esther, b. 12 Dec. 1673; md. 1692, George Parker, d. Phila., Pa., 24 Nov. 1741. (CfdQR• HEQG 2:402.)
6. Hannah, b. 23 Apr. 1675; bur. 7 Nov. 1686 in Mansfield.

8. Jacob, b. 12 Sep. 1680; bur. 1 Dec. 1687 at Mansfield.
9. Mary, b. 29 July 1683; d. unm,, 29 Mch. 1761, in Phila., Pa. She moved to N.J. with her parents in 1686, and rec'd a legacy of £ 20 by her father's will, payable when 20, and also 100 acres of woodland. Though raised a Friend, she had herself baptized at St. Mary's Church in Burlington city on 10 April 1704, and accompanied her sister Esther (Andrews) Parker to Phila., Pa., in 1709. She was a communicant of Christ Church, Phila., and by her will gave the church her large prayer book and money for a new pulpit and cloth and a new organ. She was buried inside the church, under the center aisle. During, her life in Phila., Mary Andrews accumulated a large fortune, apparently by her own efforts, and. at her death was a very wealthy woman. In a suit at law in New Jersey against the administrator of Abraham Bickley, Jr., she recovered in execution a tract of 1150 acres of land in Sussex (now Morris) Co., N.J., and devised it in equal shares to her nephews Mordecai, son of her brother Mordecai, and Peter and Isaac, sons of her brother Edward. Her will also mentioned her nephew Nehemiah, son of Edward, and many of the children of her sister Esther Parker. (Phila. Wills M:70.)
2. MORDECAI 2 ANDREWS (Samuel), b. 11 Aug. 1664 at Oyster Bay, ' L.I., went to Burl. Co., N.J., with his parents in 1686; md.[op 54] in Monmouth Co., N. J., 14 July 1691 Mary - (MnD ABC:315); d. at Little Egg Harbor, Burl. Co., in 1736. It has been suggested that Mordecai spent most of the time between 1684 and 1686 assisting his father in building the new house at Spring Hill; there is no record of his ever having been active in O.B. He had from his father a deed of gift for 140 acres of the home plantation (W JD B:335), no doubt for the work he had done, and was devised another part by his father's will, but as the will was not probated within the statutory period of forty days after the testator's death, Mordecai inherited, as oldest son and heir, all of his father's estate (excepting his mother's dower right at common law), to the exclusion of his brothers ,and sisters. In consequence thereof he sold, 2 Apl. 1695, to Obadiah Hierton 100 acres of the land that had been devised in the will to Peter (who was then dead) and on 7 Apl. 1699 conveyed another 300 acres to his brother Edward. He sold 220 acres to John Bowne of Middletown, Mon. Co., on 8 July 1696; bought from and sold other land to Michael Buffin on 14 Feb. 1697/8; and sold 308 acres to David Curtis on 24 Mar. 1698/9. (WJD 13:438, 654, 561, 615, 642.)
On 1 Jan. 1698/9 he was chosen constable of Mansfield' Twp. to serve for one year (MaTR:l) and at the expiration of his term removed to Little Egg Harbor on Barnegat Bay, Burl. (now Ocean) Co., where he purchased from William Biddle a tract of 430 acres on the west side of the present Tuckerton Creek, but as the deed was destroyed in a fire that burned down his house, Biddle gave him a deed of confirmation on 20 June 1709 (WJD AAA:350). He bought an adjoining tract of 150 acres from Francis Collins on 23 June 1711 (Ibid:377), and at his death his land holdings are said to have amounted to abt. 900 acres.
He died at L.E.H. shortly before 19 June 1736 (inventory of his personal estate). His will of 13 Aug. 1721 was not probated until 4 Nov. 1736 (NJW 4:74; NJA 30:20). He gave his wife Mary all the personal estate (excepting six shillings to each of his married daughters, Alice Mathews, Edith Allen, and Mary Cramer) and the use for her life of one-third of all his lands, which afterward were to go to his only son, Mordecai, Jr.

7. EDWARD 2 ANDREWS (Samuel'), b. 16 Mch. 1677/8 at O.B., L.I.; went to Burl. Co. with his parents in 1686; md. when not yet 17 years old, at the house of Thomas Revel in Burlington City on 8 Feb. 1694/5, Sarah Ong, dau. of Isaac and Sarah Ong, who moved to Mansfield from Shrewsbury, Mon. Co., N.J., after their daughter's marriage.
Edward had by his father's will one-half of the home plantation (300 acres) and was to inherit the other half at his mother's death. Although he was still under the age of 21 years the property was certainly considered to belong to him, for Mordecai's deed of 19 Feb. 1697/8 to Joshua Newbold for 17 acres in the Great Meadow of Mansfield described the land as "adjoining to Edward Andrews" (W JD B :611) . However, the father's will was not probated within the statutory period of forty days after the testator's death and therefore, according to the laws of the Province, the will was of no force or effect to pass an estate of inheritance, and consequently all of Samuel's lands fell to Mordecai as the eldest son and heir. Thus we find Mordecai releasing to Edward and giving him a quitclaim on 7 Apl. 1699 (WJD B:654), for the 300 acres that had been devised in the will. While no subsequent deeds or quitclaims from Mordecai to Edward appear of record, nevertheless Edward sold on 10 Apl. 1699 to Hugh Hutchin 20 acres "devised to him by his father's will" (Ibid:652); 115 acres to Nathan Folwell on 21 Mch. 1700/1, "being part of my plantation" (WJD BBB:269); and on 24 Apl. 1701 to Preserve Browne 200 acres in Mansfield "whereon the said Edward now inhabiteth or late inhabited part of the land purchased by his father Samuel Andrews from William Biddle and devised to Edward in his father's will and deeded to him by his brother Mordecai," and also 40 acres of meadow. (WJD B:708.) These last four deeds comprised a total of 375 acres.
Edward is said to have moved to Little Egg Harbor in 1699, but the above deeds show the removal to have been not earlier than 24 Apl. 1701. He settled at L.E.H. on the east side of Tuckerton Creek on a tract of 567 acres he had arranged to purchase from Samuel Jennings, the deed for which was not signed until 24 Jan. 1704/5 (WJD AAA:63). On 1 April 1705 he sold 200 acres of the Jennings purchase to Thomas Ridgway (Ibid:E:344), and- on 26- June 1710 he bought 250 acres from Francis Collins, adjoining the tract Collins sold to Mordecai Andrews in the following year (WJD H:160). On 9 Jan. 1713/4 he sold to Richard [op. 56]
Willitts of L.E.H. 200 acres of the Jennings tract and 50 acres of the Collins tract (WJD EF:144).
Though a birthright Friend he departed from his religious upbringing, but about 1704 became a devout Quaker, permitting his neighbors to attend religious services in his home, and on 4 Aug. 1708 he granted 2 acres of his property to members of the Chesterfield Mtg. "in trust to build a Meeting House" (WJD A-B:379), which was used continuously from 1715 to 1863, a period of 148 years. He and his sons Isaac and Peter were, ,all three, noted Quaker ministers and made frequent religious journeys in their ministry.
Edward Andrews died on 26 December 1716, aged 39 years, and was buried in the burying ground ,adjoining the meeting house, in what is now the town of Tuckerton (L.E.H. Fr. rec.). His will dated 1 May 1712 was not probated until 9 Apl. 1717 (NJW 2:69; NJA 23:13). He gave to "my wife Sarah my dwelling house, orchard and mill during her life and the benefit of all my plantation until my sons shall come to perfect age." To son Samuel he left 150 acres ".at the head of my Plantation, 50 acres of meadow I bought of my brother Mordecai, and the mill after his mother's death] and the Plantation is to be divided between my younger sons Jacob and Peter, and Peter is to have the dwelling house after his mother's death; to my three daughters £ 10 to each and my daughter Elizabeth is to have my great Bible."
Edward had two sons, Nehemiah and Isaac, born after he made his will, both of whom were mentioned in their mother's will and that of their aunt Mary Andrews, who died in Phila. in 1761. Sarah Andrews, "widow" (of Edward), signed her will on 2 Nov. 1732, but for some unknown reason it was not probated until 17 June 1773 (NJW 16:70;; NJA 34:18). It is thought that the executor, her son Nehemiah, lost or mislaid it for many years and the children took their shares by family arrangement.

13. MORDECAI3 ANDREWS, JR. (Mordecai2), b. abt. 1702, either in Mansfield or at Little Egg Harbor, Bur. Co., N.J.; md. Mary Taylor at L.E.H. Mtg. (after 12 Dec.) 1723/4 and died there in 1763,-His widow was still living there 20 Apl. 1764 (WJD Z:93). Mordecai and his mother were apptd. excrs. of his father's will (13 Aug. 1-721) and in his absence probate was granted to her on 4 Nov. 1736 (NJW 4:74; NJA,30:20).
He was a member of the L.E.H. Mo. Mtg. and represented it at the quarterly mtg. 1734 and 1738; apptd. surveyor of L.E.H. Twp. highways in May, 1746, and 1747 (Bur.Q.S.Ct.R 46, 55) and on May 18, 1763, petitioned the N.J. Sup. Ct.:
Mordecai Andrews, now near nigh sixty-one years of age, having served as Overseer of the Poor in Egg Harbour Township for fourteen years and has been in one ofce or another every year except one or two since the settlement of the Township and last week being appointed Constable without his knowledge desires to be released. (NJSCD.)
The petition is the only record of his age.
He was a creditor against the estate of John Collard of Middx. Co. 28 Mch. 1746 (NJW D:207; NJA 30:104) and with his first cousin Nehemiah Andrews (20) wit. the will of Nicholas Wainwright 26 Aug. 1750 (NJW 5JO1C; NJA 32:344). On 1 Dec. 1761 Mordecai and his first cousin Isaac Andrews (21) purchased 529 acres of unappropriated land from William Hewlings and Daniel Smith, Jr. (WJD S:104), but no deeds are recorded whereby either of them ever divided the tract ,between them or sold their respective shares. [p 74]
Under the will of his aunt Mary Andrews (9) of Phila" Pa., Mordecai and his first cousins (the above) Isaac and Peter Andrews (19) inherited 1150 acres of land on Pohatkunk Creek in Morris (now Warren) Co. and he succeeded to Peter's part at -the latter's death in 1758. A re-survey (WJPR L:6) finding the tract contained 1679 acres, Mordecai and Isaac divided it so that Mordecai should have 929 acres and Isaac 750 and gave mutual releases and quit. claims to each other on 8 June 1763 (WJD Z:93). The Surveyors' Association (BLEH, p. 261) states that Mordecai, Sr., took up a tract of 929 acres on the west side of Tuckerton Creek in Little Egg Harbor Township, manifestly an error of the writer Leah Blackman, who confused it with the tract above that Mordecai, Jr., by his will ordered his executors to sell.
Mordecai Andrews, Jr., signed his will on 8 June 1763, the same day he gave the quitclaim to Isaac. He mentioned his wife Mary; daughters Prudence, Elizabeth, and Sarah Andrews, Keziah Shourds; sons Isaac and Jacob and grandson Joseph Andrews under 21 (son of his deceased son Edward), and appointed his wife Mary, his son Jacob and his (first) cousin Isaac Andrews (21) executors and directed them to sell his "929 acres tract on Pohatenung Creek" (NJW 11:384; NJA 33:17). The executors sold the property to David Cooper of Gloucester Co. on 20 Apl. 1764 (WJD Z:93), the deed reciting the high sheriff's deed of 23 January 1745 to Mary Andrews of Phila., Pa., in execution of her suit at law against Thomas Hodgson of Phila., administrator of Abraham Bickley, Jr the resurvey and the agreement of division by Mordecai and Isaac
,
Mordecai's will did not mention his daughter Judith or his son r Edward, both of whom died before him.

15. SAMUEL 3 ANDREWS (Edward 2'), b. 7 Jan. 1697/8 at Mansfield, Bur. Co.; d. 17 April. 1763 at (Tuckerton) L.E.H. Twp., Bur. Co. [p 75]
md. (2nd. Intentions of Marriage. declared. at Little .Egg Harbor. Mtg. 14 July) 1726, Elizabeth Ridgway. It has been stated (BLEH) that Elizabeth was a daughter of Thomas Ridgway, Sr., but the fact is otherwise. She was a daughter of Richard Ridgway, Jr., by his first wife Mary Willits, the daughter of Hope and Mercy (Langdon) Willits of Hempstead, Long Island. Richard Ridgway, Jr.'s will, 12th of 12th Mo. (Feb.) 1718-9, appointed "my loving brother Joseph Willis" a co-executor. Mary Ridgway, another daughter of Richard Ridgway, Jr., married Thomas Cramer in 1728, and on 30 May 1733,
Thomas Cramer of Barnegat, Monmouth Go., and Mary his wife [with, Samuel Andrews of Little Egg Harbour, Bur. Co., and Elizabeth his wife Release and Quit-claim to Joseph Willits of Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon Co., Executor of the last will and testament of Richard Ridgway, Jr., deceased, all legacies, gifts, bequests [etc., etc.] given to the aforesaid Mary Cramer and Elizabeth Andrews by the names of Mary Ridgway and Elizabeth Ridgway in and by the last will and testament of their father the said Richard Ridgway, deceased.
This deed of release settles for all time the erroneous and constantly repeated statement, which appeared first in The Proceedings . . . of the Surveyors' Association of West New Jersey, that Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Andrews, was a daughter of Thomas l Ridgway, Sr., by his wife Elizabeth Andrews, daughter of Edward and Sarah (Ong) Andrews. The will of Elizabeth (Andrews), widow of Thomas Ridgway, Sr., dated 1 Mch. 1725, mentioned her own brother Samuel Andrews and their mother. Sarah (Ong) Andrews (NJW 2;294; NJA 23:383).
Samuel Andrews was a "birthright Friend." He removed to L.E.H. [Little .Egg Harbor] with his parents and, during his own lifetime there, was one of the most prominent and influential members of L.E.H. Friends' Meeting. He was appointed an "overseer" 8 Feb. 1727/8 "in the room of Thomas Ridgway, Sr., deceased" (his own brother-;in-law); was directed "to peruse the Minutes" 14 Sept. 1732; appointed to visit families of Friends and also an elder on 8 Feb. 1738; ordered "to transcribe the Minutes Book" 13 July 1749, and on 3 March. 1760 was one of a committee "to make a List of all Friends ":belonging to the Meeting." From 3rd Month (May) 8th 1722 until ::5th Month (May) 8th 1762, a period of 40 years and 2 months, `he was appointed a "Representative to the Quarterly Meeting" no less than 24 times,, a greater number of times than any other member in the whole history of the Meeting. He was equally prominent in neighborhood affairs, frequently being a witness to wills, appraising estates and acting as bondsman.
He had inherited from his father "150 acres of land at the head [p 76] of the plantation in L.E.H.; 50 acres [his father had] bought from Mordecai Andrews, Sr.; [the land under] the Mill-Pond and [was to have] the Grist-Mill after the death of his mother." He sold all of the above to his brother Jacob (18) on 24 Oct. 1726 for the consideration of £20 silver money (WJD E:36); the deed described the 150 acres as part of the tract Edward (7) had bought of William Biddle and the 50 acres as "meadow land at a fishing-wier between the said Edward and Mordecai, Sr. [2], which Mordecai had bought of the said William Biddle and lies on the East side of the Creek, being the bounds between the said Edward and Mordecai," The Creek is now called Tuckerton Creek.
The will of Samuel Andrews, dated 7 March. 1763 (inventory taken 25 April.) and probated on the 24th, gave £50 to his daughter Elizabeth Lippincott, and the remainder of his entire estate to his wife Elizabeth. He directed that at her death the plantation be sold by his executors and the moneys received be given ¼ to his daughter Elizabeth Lippincott, ¼ his daughter Hannah Mathis, ¼ to his daughter Mary Parsal, and ¼ to his three grandchildren Jesse, Mary and Sarah, children of his deceased son Peter. Executors: sons-in-law Joseph Lippincott and John Persell (NJW 11:324; NJA 33:18).

18. JACOB 3 ANDREWS (Edward 2), b. 26 Feb. 1704/5 at Tuckertori (L.E.H.), Bur. Co., was a minister among Friends but did not, reach the prominence achieved by his father or his younger brothers Peter and Isaac. On Sep. 14, 1728, he was appointed to represents L.E.H, Mtg. at the quarterly mtg. and again on Aug. 14, 1729, when he requested the mtg. to grant him a certificate "in order to. visit Friends upon Long Island; and James Pharo signifying his. freedom to go with him as his companion, Gervas Pharo and Richard Willits are appointed to make the necessary inquiries"' A minute of Sep. 14th reads: "This Mtg. having unity with Jacob [p77] Andrews visiting Friends upon Long Island did grant him and James Pharo a Certificate nothing appearing to hinder." He was again representative to the quarterly mtg. on July 12, 1731.
On April 6, 1732, at Chesterfield Mtg. he declared intentions of marriage, with Ann Sykes (b. 16 Feb. 1710/1, dau. of John and Joanna [Murfin] Sykes) and four days later requested his own mtg. to grant him a certificate for that purpose. The marriage is not entered in the Chesterfield records, the minutes stating that it was reported "accomplished" to the mtg. held on June 1st (CfdQR; LEHQR). L.E.H. Mtg. appointed him clerk of the meeting on Sep. 14, 1732, and with his brother Samuel he was directed "to peruse the Minutes." Representative to qtly. mtg. again May 3, 1733, Aug. 14, 1734, Feb. 10, 1736/7, and Feb. 9, 1737/8. On Aug. 10, 1738, he requested a "Certificate of Removal" to the Bur. Mo. Mtg. and produced it there "for himself and wife" on Jan. 1, 1738/9:
ffrom our monthly meeting of man and women (friends held att our meeting house att little Egg Harbour the 14 day of the 7th. month 1738 to our ffriends and brethern of the monthly meeting At Burlington with the kind salutation of our love dear ffreinds these comes to acquaint you that our friend Jacob Andrews At our last meeting Requested our Certificate for him self and his wife These are to Certifie you that these our friends weare of good Searuse a mongst us and in goad unity with the meeting and wall beloued both a mongst friends and others and our friend Jacob Andrews in his trauel was saruisable adifiing wall aproued of by friends and others All so theare Conuarsations ordarly and and wee hope the may retourne to there former habitation Signed in and by order of said Meeting.
Among those signing -the certificate were his brothers Samuel and Nehemiah, his nephew Mordecai Andrews, Jr., and Mary (Taylor) wife of Mordecai, Jr. (BuQR: original).
Aug. 3, 1741, "our friend Jacob Andrews having removed to s Chesterfield requested a Certificate on behalf of himself and wife." r It was granted Sep. 7th and not produced at Chesterfield Until Nov. 5th but that he had moved more than three months before he asked for the certificate is shown by a minute of the Chesterfield Mtg., May 3, 1741: "Thomas Woodward, Thomas Wright, Benjamin Kirby and Jacob Andrews are appointed to receive the deed for the land to build a meeting house on and for a grave yard near Joseph Arneys and to give an acknowledgment of Trust: Thomas Potts Jr. is to draw the deed" (BuQR; CfdQR). This was for the "Indulged Meeting for Worship" (that had, theretofore, been meeting at Joseph Arney's home in Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth Co., and the land given by, him bordered on the partition line between East and West New. Jersey. The deed is not recorded but is recited in another deed which was recorded in the clerk's office of the Inferior. [p 78] Court of Common Pleas for the County of Monmouth in Book S, page 585, which states in part: "Joseph Arney seized in fee of a tract of land an Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County, by deed of Bargain and Sale dated the 3rd day of the 8th. Month called October 1741 granted to Jacob Andrews, Peter Harrison, Samuel Sykes, Mahlon Wright, Joseph Steward and Amos Wright and their survivors" a part of his land containing one and one-, eighth acres "for .the people called Quakers belonging to the Monthly Meeting held at Chesterfield in Burlington County!" On Oct. 6t11, 1748, "Jacob Andrews acquainted this Meeting that there was a necessity of appointing an Overseer , for Upper Freehold Meeting," and on Aug. 6, 1772, .he informed "that several encroachments are,". made on the land belonging to Upper Freehold Meeting" (CfdQR);
In April, 1759, the Chesterfield Meeting appointed several corn mittees to ascertain who held the titles .to the lands where the various meeting houses under its jurisdiction were located and, on June 7th, "Jacob Andrews, one of the Friends appointed to that ` service, reports that the title to a piece of land lying in Mansfield, r and given by Samuel Andrews, is wholly invested in Friends to .. which they relinquish to the said Jacob Andrews he complying with what was enjoined by the grantor." (This was .the two-acre lot in Mansfield noted under Samuel Andrews (1).) On October 3, 1771,
Two of the friends appointed respecting the Meeting House at Little Egg Harbour report in writing:='We of the Commute appointed to confer with :' Jacob Andrews respecting the Meeting House land at Little Egg Harbour having met and conferred with him on the occasion and do find him willing and desireous to make a deed to this Meeting or Egg Harbour as this Meeting, shall direct." This Meeting taking the same into consideration desires the said , Andrews to give such Friends la deed] as the Friends of Little Egg Harbour shall Appoint. [(CfdQR.) This was the lot at Tuckerton referred to Under Edward Andrews (7).1
While a member of Chesterfield Meeting, Jacob Andrews was many times appointed a representative to the quarterly. mtg. and also continued his religious visits. On May 7, 1747, he had a certificate '; "to travel in Friends service to Long Island and New England" and on November 5th, "returning from a religious visit brought Certificates from Purchase in West Chester & Province of New York and one from Westbury (on Long Island) which were read and. ` approved of by the Meeting." On Nov. 7, 1765, he .had a certificate , to visit the meetings to the southward in the jerseys. May 2, 1771, he requested a certificate to visit the meetings on Long ;Island and [p 79] New York, and on Sep. 5th he returned it together with one from Westbury, dated Aug. 6th.
October 24, 1726, 'he purchased from his brother Samuel 200 acres of land in L.E.H. and .the saw and grist mills there that Samuel had inherited from their father (NJD E:36). "In March 1725 Daniel Leeds conveyed to Richard Kirby 225 acres of land on the North or Tunis. River in Bur. Co., located in what is now the western part of the present village of Cookstown on which Kirby erected a grist and saw mill in 1732 and in 1743 Leeds sold an adjoining tract of 130 acres to Jacob Andrews. Kirby died in 1740; and his executors sold the mills to Andrews in 1743. Andrews operated the mills until 17 Nov. 1748 when he sold out to Isaac Ivins Jr. and then moved a -little to the northward where he opened a store and operated a blacksmith shop" (WHBM; BLEH). However, none of these deeds is recorded.
Jacob. Andrews "of New Hanover Twp." signed .his will 29th of 11th Month 1775. He gave to "my beloved son John Andrews all my moveable estate of what kind so ever to enable him to discharge all my debts and funeral expenses and to pay the following legacies --he is to deliver to my daughter Catherine Emley one small brown mair and two large silver spoons and to my daughter Mary Wardel one large brown mair and to my grandson William Pancoast thirty Pounds when he arrives to .the age of twenty one years."

19. PETERS ANDREWS (Edward'), .b. 20 Nov. 1707 at Tuckerton (L.E.H.), Bur. Co., was a cordwainer by trade, an eminent minister among Friends and died in England on July 13, 1756. He was a birthright member of the L.E.H. Mtg. and on March 28, 1727, had its certificate of clearness to marry Esther Butcher of the Bur. Mtg. They were married at the old Springfield meeting, .house on April 11th following (BuQR). Esther was a daughter of Samuel, Sr., and Silence (Bunting) Butcher but her birth is not entered in the records.
On March 1, 1731/2, Peter and his brother-in-law Stephen Cramer, who had married Sarah Andrews (17), bought a farm on Bass River next to John Mathis and on April 4th purchased an adjoining tract from Thomas Mott. Peter sold his interest to Cramer on May 18, 1736, for £50 but the deed was not recorded until twenty years afterward (WJD N:328). On June 7, 1732, he was appointed guardian of his nephews Edward and Richard Ridgway, sons of Thomas Ridgway, dec'd, by his second wife Elizabeth Andrews (7). He removed to Northampton Township in 1734 and settled in Mount Holly, producing a certificate to the Bur. Mtg. on Aug. 5, 1734:

Among the signers were Samuel Andrews (15) and Ann (Sykes) Andrews, wife of Jacob Andrews (18). (BuQR; LEHQR.)
Peter Andrews bought on 11 Aug. 1746 from Elizabeth Estaugh a plantation on .the east side of the present Branch Street in Mount Holly and agreed to sell a small part of it to Joseph and John Linn of Phila., Pa., but as her deed to him was not executed immediately she, at Peter's request, conveyed the Linn part to them by deed of Aug. 11, 1746, and later confirmed the remainder, amounting to about 195 acres, to Peter. He sold 11 acres to his friend John Woolman May 20, 1747, and a smaller lot to him on April 3, 1748; gave 3 acres to his son Samuel on June 17, 1753, and after his death his executors sold all the remaining part to John Woolman on March 29, 1757. Two days later Woolman sold all of his three purchases, excepting about one acre, to Benajah Andrews (41). (WJD HH:44; 8:248, 251; S:20, 22; A-E:169; A-1:293.) The township elected him overseer of the poor on March 11, 1739/40; constable for Bridgetown (the old name of Mount Holly) on March 9, 1740/41, and in the same year he, with others, petitioned that a new road might be laid out. He was nominated surveyor of highways on March 14, 1748/9, but was not elected.
Peter Andrews was an outstanding member of Mount Holly Preparative Meeting and on six different occasions was chosen to represent the Bur. Mtg. at the quarterly meeting (BuQR). Bur. Mtg. chose him, with others, as a trustee to accept the deed by Samuel Cripps, dated Sep. 3, 1748, for an addition to the ground on Woodpecker Lane in, .Mount Holly on which the meeting house had been erected (BuD B:193). He began his ministry in his 37th year, the Bur. Mtg. entering the following minute on Aug. 1, 1743:
Whereas our friends Peter Andrews, John Woolman and Josiah White have had at times a concern on their minds to appear in publick by way of Exhortation to Religious duties, whose appearances are generally well received; whereupon a motion was made here that they might be recommended to sit in the Meeting of Ministers and Elders and they are hereby accordingly recommended.
He began his visits in the ministry in May, 1745, requesting a certificate to visit meetings in Chester Co., Pa., "which this Meeting hath unity with desiring his service in the Ministry may be for the Edification of the Visited." Nov. 4th he had a certificate to "visit the Meetings on Long Island and some parts of the Main" and on July 4, 1747, he and John Woolman had certificates to visit Friends in New England." They returned the certificates on October 5th, producing at the same time certificates from "Friends in different parts which were all read in this Meeting." During, the next seven years his ministry was in his own meeting, the quarterly meeting and meeting of ministers and elders. In 1755 he set out on his memorable visit to England. January 6th, "Our friend Peter Andrews acquainted this Meeting that he hath had a concern on his mind for a considerable time to visit Friends on Truth's Account in Great Britain and the adjacent parts desiring Friends Approbation." He was in England about fifteen months traveling back and forth between London and Yorkshire, preaching in the open air, in the homes of Friends and in many meeting houses. His unremitting labors led to his untimely death at Norwich.
On July 3, 1758, the Bur. Mtg. appointed a committee "to attend the Quarterly Meeting and also deliver out Testimony with those received from England concerning our dear friend Peter Andrews." They are too long to give here in extenso but all of them signify the great esteem and love in which he was held and extoll his exceptional gifts to the highest degree (BuQR).
He signed his will March 1, 1755, five days before requesting the certificate to England. He gave his wife Esther the best bed and other household furniture; to son Samuel 20 shillings, "he being already provided for by me" (he had given Samuel by deed of gift three acres of his home plantation); ordered his executors to sell the remainder of his estate and after paying the debts and funeral charges directed them to pay the balance remaining "to my wife and eight children [excluding his son Samuel] Thomas, Benajah, Mary, Temperance, Edward, Hannah, Elizabeth and Peter,-my wife and my son Benajah to have each a double portion and all the others to be equal; my daughters to have their shares at eighteen years or marriage and my wife is to have the full use of all legacies until the children come to age of eighteen years and I direct my son Peter to put out to trade at .his age of fourteen years." Executors: his wife and son Benajah. Proved Dec. 6, 1756. Inventory of personal estate taken Dec. 14th listed "his apparel (at home 15 shillings) chiefly in England and not come to hand" (NJW 8:345; NJA 32:13).

20. Nehemiah 3 ANDREWS (Edward 2), was not mentioned in his father's will (May 3, 1712) but was named executor in the will of his mother Sarah (Ong) Andrews dated Nov. 2, 1732 (NJW 2:69; NJA 23:13; NJW 16:70; NJA 34:18). The dates of his birth (7th Mo. [Sep.] 4th, 1712) and death (9th Mo. [Sep.] 22nd, 1785) are entered in the records of -the Haddonfield Mo. Mtg., Glouc. Co. (NHQR).
Nehemiah Andrews and Elizabeth Lippincott declared their intentions of marriage at Little Egg Harbor Mtg., 9th of 6th Mo.

On the 8th of 8th Mo. (Oct) 1741, Nehemiah and Elizabeth received a certificate to remove to Haddonfield Mo. Mtg., but they returned to L.E.H. on a certificate from Haddonfield dated 9th of 3rd Mo. (May) 1743 which they presented to the L.E.H. Mtg. on the 9th of 4th Mo. following.
Nehemiah purchased a right to 100 acres of land in L.E.H. Township from Thomas Wetherill on 1 Sept. 1745, sold a part of it to Peter Mordock of Barnegat, Mon. Co., on 16 March 1747 and still another part to James Wainwright of L.E.H. Twp. on 10 Sept. 1748 (NJD H:97; Y:399). The L.E.H. Mtg. appointed him, 10 of 1st Mo. (Mch) 1747/8, to dig the graves. burying ground and on 10th of 5th Mo. 1755 he and his wife requested a certificate to remove to the Burlington Mo. Mtg. where they remained less than a year, taking that meeting's certificate to the Abington Mo. Mtg. (then in Phila. but now in Montgomery Co., Penna.). He was a member there of Oxford Particular Meeting, was chosen one of its overseers the same year and frequently represented Abington at the quarterly meeting.
On 24th of 4th Mo. 1758 Abington Mtg. gave him, his wife and children a certificate to return to Haddonfield where he was a member of Upper Greenwich Particular Meeting.

He was not mentioned in his father's will (1st of 3rd Mo. [May] 1712) but with .his older brother Nehemiah (20) received all of his mother Sarah's lands under her will of 9th Mo. 2nd 1732 which was not probated until 17 June 1773 (NJW 2:69; 16:70; NJA 23:13; 34:18).

Isaac Andrews married Elizabeth Elfreth, daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah (Oldman) Elfreth, of Phila., Pa., at the meeting house there 21st of 9th Mo. (Nov.) 1738. She was born at Phila. 11th of 2nd Mo. (Apl.) 1719 and died in Salem Co., NJ., 9th of 5th Mo. 1778, aged 59 years and 3 months. Isaac was a tanner; joined Haddonfield Mo. Mtg. 9th of 5th Mo. (July) 1739 on certificate from Burlington Mtg. and purchased a two-acre house lot in Newton Township, October 20, 1739, from John and Katherine Howell of Phila., Pa. (NJD P:282). He was prominent in meeting affairs, being appointed to attend .the quarterly meeting in 1743-44-45 and 1746. On 14th of 2nd Mo. (Apl.) 1746, "Our friend Isaac Andrews signified his Concern to visit ffriends in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina in company with John Woolman." Permission was granted to him on May 12 and on October 7 following he returned the certificate granted and at -the same time ,produced three certificates, one from Nansamun in Virginia, one from North Carolina, and one from Herring Creek in Maryland, "signifying the unity and satisfaction of ffriends with his visit" (NHQR).
He bought 103 acres in Newton Twp. from Joseph Bullock of New Hanover Twp., Bur. Co., on 14 February 1760 (NJD P:294) and 79 acres on Cooper River from Jacob Clement and others on 2 March 1761. He sold 16 acres of this latter tract to Joseph McClean on 9 June 1761 (NJD X:132). He and his first cousin Mordecai Andrews, Jr. (13) purchased on 1 Dec. 1761, as tenants in common, 529 acres of unappropriated land (NJD S:104) but no subsequent deeds are recorded showing that they ever divided or sold .the tract. Under the will of his aunt Mary Andrews (9) of Phila., Isaac, ,his brother Peter (19) and their first cousin Mordecai, Jr., were given 1150 acres of land on Pohatkunk Creek in Morris (now Warren) Co. and, on Peter's death in England before 'his aunt, his share lapsed and became the property of Mordecai, Jr., and a. resurvey finding the tract to contain 1679 acres, Mordecai and Isaac divided it on 8 June 1763 so that Isaac's share amounted to 750 acres (WJPR L:6; NJD '1.:93). On July 28, 1763, and October 3, 1765, -he advertised in .the Pennsylvania Gazette:
For Sale by Isaac Andrews, living near Woodbury Creek in Gloucester Co., West Jersey, a Tract of 750 Acres ,of land in Sussex County on a branch of Delaware River called Pokattekung about forty miles above Trenton.
For Sale by Isaac Andrews of Little Mantua Creek in Gloucester Co., West Jersey, a tract of 1270 Acres of land in Sussex County, West Jersey, sixty miles from Philadelphia and about the same from New York on a branch of Delaware River called Pohateenney. Inquire of Isaac Andrews or of Jeremiah Elfreth in Phila. [NJA 24:212, 629.]
The latter advertisement for 1270 acres evidently included the tract of 529 "unappropriated" acres of the 1761 deed, Isaac having no doubt purchased Mordecai's share by an unrecorded deed.
In his will, 25 July 1775, 'he called himself a "tanner of Deptford Township" (NJW 16:467; NJA 34:18). He devised to his wife Elizabeth for and during the term of her natural life his plantation on Little Mantua Creek and at her death then over to .his son Jeremiah in fee simple, "provided that Jeremiah pay all the debts I etc., etc.] . . . but if he neglects or refuses .to pay then I order my Executors -to sell the said plantation and after paying all the debts and legacies hereinafter mentioned to divide the overplus equally between my children Jeremiah, Isaac and Esther." - [On June 17, 1766, the executors sold the plantation to Isaac Stephens, the deed reciting that it became] necessary to make an immediate sale, the widow and Jeremiah agreeing as by their deed of confirmation and release, the executors having discharged all the debts, etc., on the 10th of 9th Month 1776 (Gil) 0:477). ] He gave his slaughter Esther a legacy of £ 100; and silver watches to his two sons, and then directed his executors to sell the remainder of his real estate, which he described as follows:

23. EDWARD 4 ANDREWS (Mordecai,3 Jr.), born 28 of 3 Mo. 1726 at Little Egg Harbor Twp. (LEHQR), died before his father so was not mentioned in the latter's will of 8 June 1763 which did, however, mention Edward's son Joseph. While still in L.E.H. Twp. he witnessed the will, 18 January 1747/8, of Roger Osborne (NJW 6:304; NJA 30:362).
He married, between 8 Feb. 1749/50 and 13th of 5th Mo. 1756, Alice Johnson, the widow of John DeBow of Middletown, Moil. Co., for on this last date the L.E.H. Mtg. entered the following minute against him: "Edward Andrews has been spoken to and Laboured with for his marriage out of the unity of Friends and makes no Satisfaction [for] which this Meeting Disowns him from being a member of our Chrystian Society." And on 9th of 9th Mo. the Meeting appointed Thomas Ridgway and James Willits "to carrey Edward Andrews a Copy of his being disowned from Friends."
In the July Term of the Middlesex Co. Court of Common Pleas he sued John Moores for a debt of £85 (MxCt.); witnessed the will of Obadiah Bowne of Middletown on 13 January 1761 and appraised on April 18, 1761, the personal estate of Andrew White (NJW 6:407., II:175; NJA 33:53, 474). He died in Middletown intestate, before 9 Mch. 1763 when his widow Alice renounced administration of his estate and "leaves it to the creditors," George FitzRandolph of Middlesex Co. being appointed on the 11th (NJW H:221; NJA 33:17). On January 5, 1775, John DeBow (Jr.) of Middletown "by and with the consent and approbation of my mother Alice Andrews" conveyed a lot of ground in Middletown to William Applegate. The parents of Alice (Johnson-DeBow) Andrews have not thus far been ascertained.
Children:
68. Joseph; mentioned in his grandfather's will.
69. Isaac; I.). 11 Feb. 1759; d. 24 Mch. 1832.
26. JACOB ANDREWS4 (Mordecai,3 Jr.) was born at L.E.H. Twp. but his birth is not entered in the meeting records. He was named an executor in his father's will of 8 June 1763 and married Kezia Rider of L.E.H. Twp. He secured a license for his marriage to her on 6 Feb. 1764 (NJMB A:123) which he must have lost, for a second license was issued to him on March 10th (Ibid. A:125). His bondsman on the first license was John Bery who had a license ,the same day to marry Jacob's sister Prudence Andrews (29).
Leah Blackman in BLEH stated that Jacob "married in Long Island where he settled"; which is shown above to have been erroneous. No record of his living on Long Island has been found.
27. ISAAC ANDREWS4 (Mordecai,3 Jr.), born abt. 1744 at L.E.H., though his birth is not entered in the meeting records, married by license of 24 Dec. 1767 (NJMB A:153) Hannah Johnston, dau. of Joseph Johnston, Sr., of Galloway Twp., Gloucester Co. His bondsman was John Bery (noted under 26). Joseph Johnston, Sr., in his will 1 March. 1765 gave a legacy of £30 to his daughter Hannah and the account of his administratrix (his second wife) Sarah [—] included a receipt by Isaac Andrews "for my wife's legacy" (NJW 14:230; 15:100; NJA 33:224).
In the Sept., 1773, tax list of L.E.H. Twp., Isaac was rated as the owner of 150 acres of land worth £ 18 and 18 "cattle and horses" for a total assessment of £133:10:00 (NJPRO). He was possibly the John Andrews of Stafford Twp., Mon. Co., who was rated there in Aug., 1782, as the owner of 180 acres of improved land with 2 horses and 10 cattle (Ibid.). He and his wife Hannah were both living in L.E.H. Twp. on March 8, 1814, for he and his wife joined in a deed of that date with her brother William Johnston and his wife Hannah and her brothers-in-law Isaac Cordery and Isaac Somers to her nephew-by-law Joseph Shourds for all their rights to a plantation which their father Joseph Johnston, Sr., had devised to his son David Johnston (Glou. Co. deeds at Woodbury, 11:150).
The only children of Isaac and Hannah thus far identified were:
70. Mahala; md on 30 Mch. 1800 her distant cousin Mahlon Mathis.
71. Melissa; b. 1.31.1776; d. 2.14.1861; md. 19 July 1801 Jonathan Gifford, Jr., b. 7.19.1778; d. 10.1.1854.
32. PETER4 ANDREWS (Samuel), b. 8 Mo. 28, 1732, at L.E.H., md., Hannah Somers, b. 11 Mo. 2, 1733/4 (dau. of Edmund and Mary [Steelman] Somers of Great Egg Harbor, Gloucester Co.), and has often been confused with his first cousin Peter Andrews (47) who md. Hannah Somers, b. 12 Mo. 22, 1735/6 (dau. of Richard and Judith [Letart l Somers). These two Hannahs were also first cousins.
On Feb. 13, 1755, Peter requested of the L.E.H. Mtg. a. certificate of clearness in order to marry a Friend belonging to Great Egg Harbor and Cape May Monthly Meeting and appearing at the mtg. house near the present Somers Point, Gloucester Co. on March 3rd declared his intentions of marriage with Hannah Somers. The certificate was granted to him on March 13th and on April 7th they declared their intentions for the second time. The marriage is not entered in the book of marriages but a minute of May 5th stated that it had been accomplished "orderly."
Joseph Mapes married Edmund Somers' widow and on June 20, 1757, Peter and Hannah gave him a receipt "for £33:7:9, in full of My wife's Legacy." The receipt was witnessed by John Falkenburg who had married Hannah's sister Mary Somers, and on June 1, 1763, he testified that he was present and saw Hannah Andrews, relict of Peter Andrews, sign and deliver "the within receipt" (NJD S:369).
Peter Andrews died intestate on Dec. 23, 1762. The inventory of his personal estate, amounting to £141:10:6, was made on Feb. 22, 1763, and administration was granted to his widow Hannah on the 25th. She filed her account on May 21, 1765 (NJW 11:413; NJA 33:17). Peter had purchased, 15 June 1761, a dwelling house and various tracts of land in L.E.H. Twp. from James and Susannah Wainwright (NJD Y:399) and, as his personal estate was found insufficient to pay his debts, the estate was sued in May term 1762 (BuCt) by Eber De:Cou of Mansfield, Jeremiah and John Ridgway of L.E.H., for (their) combined debt of £500:10:00 with costs of £10:19:5, and recovered judgment against the administratrix. Daniel Ellis, high sheriff of Bur. Co., levied on Peter's real estate and sold it off to Jeremiah Ridgway, the highest bidder, on Sept. 2nd and gave him a deed on the 8th (NJD T:34).
The will of Peter's father, Samuel Andrews (15), dated March 7, 1763, ordered his plantation sold and bequeathed one-quarter of the proceeds "to my grandchildren Jesse, mary and Sarah, children of my son Peter Andrews, decease."
Children:
72. Jesse; b. 4.13.1758; moved to Gt.E.H. before 1779 but returned to L.E.H. before 12 Sept. 1796 when he married his first cousin Hannah Bartlett, b. 9.30.1772, dau. of Nathan and Judith (Somers) Bartlett. His second wife Mary Willits, b. 10.8.1760, d. 4.20.1827, was a dau. of Micajah and Elizabeth (Parker) Willits and granddau. of Hannah Andrews (16).
73. Mary; named in her grandfather's will.
74. Sarah; named in her grandfather's will.

35. JOHN 4 ANDREWS (Jacob3), b. abt. 1735-40, md. by license dated 7 Feb. 1776 (NJMB A:207) his first-cousin-once-removed Hannah Parker, dau. of Samuel and Elizabeth (Hawke) Parker and granddaughter of Joseph Parker who married Hannah Andrews (16). He was named executor of his father's will and at the probate 19 Dec. 1775 he affirmed "being of the people called Quakers" (NJW 17:281; NJA 34:18).
He lived in New Hanover Twp., Bur. Co., and was a member of Upper Freehold Particular Meeting in Upper Freehold Twp., Mon. Co., just east of the Province Line. The Particular Mtg., in a report to Chesterfield Mo. Mtg. dated 12th Mo. 5th 1776, charged him with "having gone out in his marriage, being active in military service, taking spirituous liquors to excess and does not make satisfaction." On June 5, 1777, the Chesterfield Mtg. entered a minute: "the Friends appointed to that service produced a Testimony against John Andrews for being guilty of taking strong drink to excess, marrying in a way contrary to our discipline to a relation between first and second cousins and also being concerned in military affairs." In 1776 the L.E.H. Mtg. disowned Hannah Andrews for her marriage out of unity with Friends.
John Andrews died intestate. Administration of his estate was granted, 24 Jan. 1812, to his widow Hannah who entered bond of $2,000 and signed her name by mark. The bondsmen were her nephew Samuel Parker and her son-in-law Joseph English, Jr. The inventory, filed the same day, amounted to $982.28 (BuW Adm. Book A:74; NJA 41:13; Trenton File 12554C). Her account, to which she affirmed on 14 May 1813, showed an item of $15 paid to Thomas Branson for a coffin and a balance for distribution amounting to $545.37 (BuW File A:1812). She died at Tuckerton, L.E.H., on April 4, 1819, aged 83 years.

He was a "tanner" by trade and while still living in Northampton Twp., Bur.

The actual date of his removal to Gloucester Co. is not definitely known. In the last deed cited, 11 Nov. 1758, he described himself as of Northampton Twp., Bur. Co., but by a deed of Jan. 7, 1758, from Thomas Wilkins of Deptford Twp., Glouc. Co., for 45 acres of land there he was called "of the same Place." This purchase from Wilkins is recited in a deed of 2 Feb. 1760 by his widow Phebe and his brother Thomas (40), executors of his estate, to James Whitall of Deptford for the same 45 acres (NJD U:308).
In his will, dated 28 Nov. 1759 and probated on 21 Jan. 1760 (NJW 10:78; NJA 32:13), he called himself a "Tanner, of Deptford Township in the County of Gloucester and Province of West New Jersey." He mentioned his wife Phebe, his son Jacob under age, and appointed his wife and brother Thomas as his executors, the brother also being appointed to be "Guardian of the child or children if there be two or more." One of the witnesses was his sister Hannah (45). The inventory of his personal estate taken on Jan. 16, 1760, amounted to £452:9:9, and "hides in the yard and tan-house" were valued at £ 193:17:6.
His widow Phebe married William Bassett of Pilesgrove, Salem Co., at the Chester Mo. Mtg. in Moorestown, Bur. Co., on Nov. 6, 1761, and had two children by him: Mary Bassett, b. 9.18.1762, and Abigail Bassett, b. 9.6.1766.

Samuel and Phebe Andrews had an only son:
81. Jacob; b. 10 Sept. 1755, who moved to Salem Co. with his mother in August, 1777, and had a certificate from the Salem Mo. Mtg. dated Apl. 2, 1781, to remove to the Phila. Mo. Mtg.

On 1st Mo. 29th 1757 he and his mother sold to John Woolman two separate lots of land in Northampton Township, ~ Bur. Co., which his father had bought of Elizabeth Estaugh in 1746 and ordered his executors to sell. Two days later Woolman reconveyed the land to Benajah (NJD 8:248 and 251).
On the 7th of 11th Mo. 1757 the Burlington Mo. Mtg. appointed him to attend the quarterly meeting to be held at Chesterfield 2nd of 11th Mo. and at the same time entered in the minutes that "such of the representatives to that Meeting as are members of the Meeting of Ministers and Elders are desired to acquaint that Meeting that this Meeting recommends Benajah Andrews and John Sleeper as Ministers in Unity."

54. ISAAC 4 ANDREWS (Nehemiah 3) born 8th Mo. 23, 1747, at Tuckerton, moved with his parents to Burlington Mtg. in 1755; to Abington, Penna., in 1756; thence to the Haddonfield Mtg. in 1758; later a member of Greenwich Particular Mtg. in Gloucester Co.
In July, 1771, he declared intentions of marriage with Keziah Chew, daughter of Jeremiah and Hannah (Ashbrook) Chew of Gloucester and called "my daughter Keziah Andrews" in her father's will of 29 Dec. 1791.
60. JEREMIA 4 ANDREWS (Isaac3), son of Isaac (21) and Elizabeth (Elfreth) Andrews, born 11 Mo. 2 (or 22) 1743/4 in Deptford Twp., Glouc. Co., N.J., died 8 Mo. 29, 1823 in Greenwich Twp., Cumberland Co., N.J.
Jeremiah married (first), declaring (2nd) intentions of marriage at the Haddonfield Mtg. in 11th. Mo. 1768 with Ann Wood, born 3 Mo. 26, 1740, died 12 Mo. 30, 1783, dau. of James Wood of Deptford Twp. by his first wife Sarah Kimsey. Jeremiah married (secondly) Catherine Lynch at St. Paul's Church, Philada., Pa., on June 2, 1790. Jeremiah lived in Fairfield Twp., Cumb. Co., in 1793 and on June 1 of that year purchased, or rather had a quitclaim deed, from Letitia (Miller) Johnson of Dennis Creek in Cape May Co. of all her right to a ground rent of £2.5 shillings per year payable out of a lot on the west side of Front St. in Phila. between Brown and Coates streets which Jeremiah Elfreth (grandfather of the said Jeremiah Andrews) had sold to Peter Stout on 3 Nov. 1766 (Phila. Deeds, Book AM 56, page 134).
Children (in Greenwich Mtg. recs., Cumb. Co.):
100. James; b. 10 Mo. 24, 1771; d. 7 Mo. 13, 1788, age 16 years and 6 mos. (which is undoubtedly an error of the meeting recorder).
101. Samuel; b. 10 Mo. 3, 1773.
102. Josiah; b. 3 Mo. 6, 1775; md. Elizabeth Test, b. 1 Mo. 18, 1779.
103. Elizabeth; b. 8 Mo. 26, 1778.
104. Possibly James, b. ca. 1780/1, who married Polly Morse and Elizabeth
Lake, though this is not proved.
62. ISAAC4 ANDREWS (Isaac3), son of Isaac (21) and Elizabeth (Elfreth) Andrews, was born 9 Mo. 21, 1749 in Deptford Twp., Glouc. Co., and died 1 Mo. 15, 1820 in Evesham Twp., Burlington Co. Isaac Andrews and Rebecca Evans declared intentions of marriage at Evesham Mtg. House 10 Mo. 10, 1771 and he was directed to bring a certificate of clearness from the meeting to which he belonged. They declared again 2nd Mo. 11, when he produced a certificate from the Haddonfield Mtg. They were married 14th of 11th Mo. 1771 at Evesham Mtg. House (Mount Laurel). On the 6th of 2nd Mo. 1772 Rebecca had a certificate from Evesham to remove to the bounds of Haddonfield Mtg. and on the 5th of 6th Mo. 1777 Isaac produced to Evesham a certificate from Haddonfield Mtg. dated 5 Mo. 12, 1777 for himself, his wife Rebecca, and their children Sarah and William. Rebecca Evans, dau. of William and Sarah (Roberts) Evans was born 6th Mo. 19, 1753 and died 1st Mo. 29, 1817.
His will, of Evesham Twp., dated 6th Mo. 18, 1818 mentioned his son William; dau. Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Ogborne; Rebacca; Hannah; Esther, wife of Samuel Ogborne; Mary and Lydia Andrews; executor, nephew Joel Evans.

He transferred his Quaker membership from the Oyster Bay Mtg. to the Chesterfield Meeting. in Burl. Co., and on 6 Jan. 1686/7 a mtg. committee was appointed "to lay out a Burying place upon Samuel Andrews land, by his consent, for ye Conviencye of Friends thereabouts" and on 3rd Feb. following, the committee reported that they "had pitched upon a place in Samuel Andrews land containing two acres." As of Spring Hill, West New Jersey, he sold to Joseph Ludlum on 15 Nov. 1687 all his Oyster Bay land including the dwelling house, and on 4 June 1688 his remaining shares of the Oak Meadows. (OyTR 1:448, 499.) Spring Hill was situated on the north side of the southernmost of two little brooks that form by their confluence the main north branch of Craft's Creek in the present Mansfield Twp., Burl. Co., abt. 2 miles north from Columbus and included within its bounds the site of the present Mansfield mtg. house and the original burying ground. The Chesterfield records state that "Samuel Andrews was buried ye 19th Day of ye 7th Mo. 1693 at the Burying place near his own home" and that his son Jacob was buried there the 1st of "ye 10th Mo. 1687." (Cfd QR.)
By his will, dated 12 Sep. and probated 10 Nov. 1693 (NJW-unrec. 1:337; BuCt 1:20), Samuel Andrews gave his wife Mary one-half of his personal estate, the use of one-half of his dwelling [op53]
house and of one-half of 300 acres of land during her life; to son Edward the other half of the personal estate, the dwelling house and 300 acres, together with all of his mother's share at her death, he being ordered to pay ,£20 to his sister Mary, who also received 100 acres of woodland; to son Peter, 130 acres of land, ",but Peter is not to sell it"; to dau. Hester, 40 acres of meadow land; and to son Mordecai only 36 acres of land, as he had already had 140 acres by deed of gift dated 15 Mar. 1689/90. All nine of his children were born at Oyster Bay.

4. Peter2, b. 28 May 1671; d. in Mansfield, evid. unm., before 2 Apt, 1695, when Mordecai sold 100 acres of the 130 acres devised to Peter, to Obadiah Hierton. (B438; NJA 21:457.) On 24 Mar. 1698 Mordecai sold the remaining 30 acres to David Curtis, the deed reciting "to him rightfully belonging as heir to his father which was given to Peter Andrews, brother to the said Mordecai, in the will and since the decease of the said Peter the right of inheritance appertains to the said Mordecai." (WJD B:642; NJA 21:512.)
5. Esther, b. 12 Dec. 1673; md. 1692, George Parker, d. Phila., Pa., 24 Nov. 1741. (CfdQR• HEQG 2:402.)
6. Hannah, b. 23 Apr. 1675; bur. 7 Nov. 1686 in Mansfield.
+7. Edward 2, b. 16 Mch. 1677/8; d. 26 Dec. 1716 at Little Egg Harbor; md. Sarah Ong
8. Jacob, b. 12 Sep. 1680; bur. 1 Dec. 1687 at Mansfield.
9. Mary, b. 29 July 1683; d. unm,, 29 Mch. 1761, in Phila., Pa. She moved to N.J. with her parents in 1686, and rec'd a legacy of £ 20 by her father's will, payable when 20, and also 100 acres of woodland. Though raised a Friend, she had herself baptized at St. Mary's Church in Burlington city on 10 April 1704, and accompanied her sister Esther (Andrews) Parker to Phila., Pa., in 1709. She was a communicant of Christ Church, Phila., and by her will gave the church her large prayer book and money for a new pulpit and cloth and a new organ. She was buried inside the church, under the center aisle. During, her life in Phila., Mary Andrews accumulated a large fortune, apparently by her own efforts, and. at her death was a very wealthy woman. In a suit at law in New Jersey against the administrator of Abraham Bickley, Jr., she recovered in execution a tract of 1150 acres of land in Sussex (now Morris) Co., N.J., and devised it in equal shares to her nephews Mordecai, son of her brother Mordecai, and Peter and Isaac, sons of her brother Edward. Her will also mentioned her nephew Nehemiah, son of Edward, and many of the children of her sister Esther Parker. (Phila. Wills M:70.)
2. MORDECAI 2 ANDREWS (Samuel), b. 11 Aug. 1664 at Oyster Bay, ' L.I., went to Burl. Co., N.J., with his parents in 1686; md.[op 54] in Monmouth Co., N. J., 14 July 1691 Mary - (MnD ABC:315); d. at Little Egg Harbor, Burl. Co., in 1736. It has been suggested that Mordecai spent most of the time between 1684 and 1686 assisting his father in building the new house at Spring Hill; there is no record of his ever having been active in O.B. He had from his father a deed of gift for 140 acres of the home plantation (W JD B:335), no doubt for the work he had done, and was devised another part by his father's will, but as the will was not probated within the statutory period of forty days after the testator's death, Mordecai inherited, as oldest son and heir, all of his father's estate (excepting his mother's dower right at common law), to the exclusion of his brothers ,and sisters. In consequence thereof he sold, 2 Apl. 1695, to Obadiah Hierton 100 acres of the land that had been devised in the will to Peter (who was then dead) and on 7 Apl. 1699 conveyed another 300 acres to his brother Edward. He sold 220 acres to John Bowne of Middletown, Mon. Co., on 8 July 1696; bought from and sold other land to Michael Buffin on 14 Feb. 1697/8; and sold 308 acres to David Curtis on 24 Mar. 1698/9. (WJD 13:438, 654, 561, 615, 642.)
On 1 Jan. 1698/9 he was chosen constable of Mansfield' Twp. to serve for one year (MaTR:l) and at the expiration of his term removed to Little Egg Harbor on Barnegat Bay, Burl. (now Ocean) Co., where he purchased from William Biddle a tract of 430 acres on the west side of the present Tuckerton Creek, but as the deed was destroyed in a fire that burned down his house, Biddle gave him a deed of confirmation on 20 June 1709 (WJD AAA:350). He bought an adjoining tract of 150 acres from Francis Collins on 23 June 1711 (Ibid:377), and at his death his land holdings are said to have amounted to abt. 900 acres.
He died at L.E.H. shortly before 19 June 1736 (inventory of his personal estate). His will of 13 Aug. 1721 was not probated until 4 Nov. 1736 (NJW 4:74; NJA 30:20). He gave his wife Mary all the personal estate (excepting six shillings to each of his married daughters, Alice Mathews, Edith Allen, and Mary Cramer) and the use for her life of one-third of all his lands, which afterward were to go to his only son, Mordecai, Jr.

7. EDWARD 2 ANDREWS (Samuel'), b. 16 Mch. 1677/8 at O.B., L.I.; went to Burl. Co. with his parents in 1686; md. when not yet 17 years old, at the house of Thomas Revel in Burlington City on 8 Feb. 1694/5, Sarah Ong, dau. of Isaac and Sarah Ong, who moved to Mansfield from Shrewsbury, Mon. Co., N.J., after their daughter's marriage.
Edward had by his father's will one-half of the home plantation (300 acres) and was to inherit the other half at his mother's death. Although he was still under the age of 21 years the property was certainly considered to belong to him, for Mordecai's deed of 19 Feb. 1697/8 to Joshua Newbold for 17 acres in the Great Meadow of Mansfield described the land as "adjoining to Edward Andrews" (W JD B :611) . However, the father's will was not probated within the statutory period of forty days after the testator's death and therefore, according to the laws of the Province, the will was of no force or effect to pass an estate of inheritance, and consequently all of Samuel's lands fell to Mordecai as the eldest son and heir. Thus we find Mordecai releasing to Edward and giving him a quitclaim on 7 Apl. 1699 (WJD B:654), for the 300 acres that had been devised in the will. While no subsequent deeds or quitclaims from Mordecai to Edward appear of record, nevertheless Edward sold on 10 Apl. 1699 to Hugh Hutchin 20 acres "devised to him by his father's will" (Ibid:652); 115 acres to Nathan Folwell on 21 Mch. 1700/1, "being part of my plantation" (WJD BBB:269); and on 24 Apl. 1701 to Preserve Browne 200 acres in Mansfield "whereon the said Edward now inhabiteth or late inhabited part of the land purchased by his father Samuel Andrews from William Biddle and devised to Edward in his father's will and deeded to him by his brother Mordecai," and also 40 acres of meadow. (WJD B:708.) These last four deeds comprised a total of 375 acres.
Edward is said to have moved to Little Egg Harbor in 1699, but the above deeds show the removal to have been not earlier than 24 Apl. 1701. He settled at L.E.H. on the east side of Tuckerton Creek on a tract of 567 acres he had arranged to purchase from Samuel Jennings, the deed for which was not signed until 24 Jan. 1704/5 (WJD AAA:63). On 1 April 1705 he sold 200 acres of the Jennings purchase to Thomas Ridgway (Ibid:E:344), and- on 26- June 1710 he bought 250 acres from Francis Collins, adjoining the tract Collins sold to Mordecai Andrews in the following year (WJD H:160). On 9 Jan. 1713/4 he sold to Richard [op. 56]
Willitts of L.E.H. 200 acres of the Jennings tract and 50 acres of the Collins tract (WJD EF:144).
Though a birthright Friend he departed from his religious upbringing, but about 1704 became a devout Quaker, permitting his neighbors to attend religious services in his home, and on 4 Aug. 1708 he granted 2 acres of his property to members of the Chesterfield Mtg. "in trust to build a Meeting House" (WJD A-B:379), which was used continuously from 1715 to 1863, a period of 148 years. He and his sons Isaac and Peter were, ,all three, noted Quaker ministers and made frequent religious journeys in their ministry.
Edward Andrews died on 26 December 1716, aged 39 years, and was buried in the burying ground ,adjoining the meeting house, in what is now the town of Tuckerton (L.E.H. Fr. rec.). His will dated 1 May 1712 was not probated until 9 Apl. 1717 (NJW 2:69; NJA 23:13). He gave to "my wife Sarah my dwelling house, orchard and mill during her life and the benefit of all my plantation until my sons shall come to perfect age." To son Samuel he left 150 acres ".at the head of my Plantation, 50 acres of meadow I bought of my brother Mordecai, and the mill after his mother's death] and the Plantation is to be divided between my younger sons Jacob and Peter, and Peter is to have the dwelling house after his mother's death; to my three daughters £ 10 to each and my daughter Elizabeth is to have my great Bible."
Edward had two sons, Nehemiah and Isaac, born after he made his will, both of whom were mentioned in their mother's will and that of their aunt Mary Andrews, who died in Phila. in 1761. Sarah Andrews, "widow" (of Edward), signed her will on 2 Nov. 1732, but for some unknown reason it was not probated until 17 June 1773 (NJW 16:70;; NJA 34:18). It is thought that the executor, her son Nehemiah, lost or mislaid it for many years and the children took their shares by family arrangement.

13. MORDECAI3 ANDREWS, JR. (Mordecai2), b. abt. 1702, either in Mansfield or at Little Egg Harbor, Bur. Co., N.J.; md. Mary Taylor at L.E.H. Mtg. (after 12 Dec.) 1723/4 and died there in 1763,-His widow was still living there 20 Apl. 1764 (WJD Z:93). Mordecai and his mother were apptd. excrs. of his father's will (13 Aug. 1-721) and in his absence probate was granted to her on 4 Nov. 1736 (NJW 4:74; NJA,30:20).
He was a member of the L.E.H. Mo. Mtg. and represented it at the quarterly mtg. 1734 and 1738; apptd. surveyor of L.E.H. Twp. highways in May, 1746, and 1747 (Bur.Q.S.Ct.R 46, 55) and on May 18, 1763, petitioned the N.J. Sup. Ct.:
Mordecai Andrews, now near nigh sixty-one years of age, having served as Overseer of the Poor in Egg Harbour Township for fourteen years and has been in one ofce or another every year except one or two since the settlement of the Township and last week being appointed Constable without his knowledge desires to be released. (NJSCD.)
The petition is the only record of his age.
He was a creditor against the estate of John Collard of Middx. Co. 28 Mch. 1746 (NJW D:207; NJA 30:104) and with his first cousin Nehemiah Andrews (20) wit. the will of Nicholas Wainwright 26 Aug. 1750 (NJW 5JO1C; NJA 32:344). On 1 Dec. 1761 Mordecai and his first cousin Isaac Andrews (21) purchased 529 acres of unappropriated land from William Hewlings and Daniel Smith, Jr. (WJD S:104), but no deeds are recorded whereby either of them ever divided the tract ,between them or sold their respective shares. [p 74]
Under the will of his aunt Mary Andrews (9) of Phila" Pa., Mordecai and his first cousins (the above) Isaac and Peter Andrews (19) inherited 1150 acres of land on Pohatkunk Creek in Morris (now Warren) Co. and he succeeded to Peter's part at -the latter's death in 1758. A re-survey (WJPR L:6) finding the tract contained 1679 acres, Mordecai and Isaac divided it so that Mordecai should have 929 acres and Isaac 750 and gave mutual releases and quit. claims to each other on 8 June 1763 (WJD Z:93). The Surveyors' Association (BLEH, p. 261) states that Mordecai, Sr., took up a tract of 929 acres on the west side of Tuckerton Creek in Little Egg Harbor Township, manifestly an error of the writer Leah Blackman, who confused it with the tract above that Mordecai, Jr., by his will ordered his executors to sell.
Mordecai Andrews, Jr., signed his will on 8 June 1763, the same day he gave the quitclaim to Isaac. He mentioned his wife Mary; daughters Prudence, Elizabeth, and Sarah Andrews, Keziah Shourds; sons Isaac and Jacob and grandson Joseph Andrews under 21 (son of his deceased son Edward), and appointed his wife Mary, his son Jacob and his (first) cousin Isaac Andrews (21) executors and directed them to sell his "929 acres tract on Pohatenung Creek" (NJW 11:384; NJA 33:17). The executors sold the property to David Cooper of Gloucester Co. on 20 Apl. 1764 (WJD Z:93), the deed reciting the high sheriff's deed of 23 January 1745 to Mary Andrews of Phila., Pa., in execution of her suit at law against Thomas Hodgson of Phila., administrator of Abraham Bickley, Jr the resurvey and the agreement of division by Mordecai and Isaac
,
Mordecai's will did not mention his daughter Judith or his son r Edward, both of whom died before him.

15. SAMUEL 3 ANDREWS (Edward 2'), b. 7 Jan. 1697/8 at Mansfield, Bur. Co.; d. 17 April. 1763 at (Tuckerton) L.E.H. Twp., Bur. Co. [p 75]
md. (2nd. Intentions of Marriage. declared. at Little .Egg Harbor. Mtg. 14 July) 1726, Elizabeth Ridgway. It has been stated (BLEH) that Elizabeth was a daughter of Thomas Ridgway, Sr., but the fact is otherwise. She was a daughter of Richard Ridgway, Jr., by his first wife Mary Willits, the daughter of Hope and Mercy (Langdon) Willits of Hempstead, Long Island. Richard Ridgway, Jr.'s will, 12th of 12th Mo. (Feb.) 1718-9, appointed "my loving brother Joseph Willis" a co-executor. Mary Ridgway, another daughter of Richard Ridgway, Jr., married Thomas Cramer in 1728, and on 30 May 1733,
Thomas Cramer of Barnegat, Monmouth Go., and Mary his wife [with, Samuel Andrews of Little Egg Harbour, Bur. Co., and Elizabeth his wife Release and Quit-claim to Joseph Willits of Bethlehem Township, Hunterdon Co., Executor of the last will and testament of Richard Ridgway, Jr., deceased, all legacies, gifts, bequests [etc., etc.] given to the aforesaid Mary Cramer and Elizabeth Andrews by the names of Mary Ridgway and Elizabeth Ridgway in and by the last will and testament of their father the said Richard Ridgway, deceased.
This deed of release settles for all time the erroneous and constantly repeated statement, which appeared first in The Proceedings . . . of the Surveyors' Association of West New Jersey, that Elizabeth, the wife of Samuel Andrews, was a daughter of Thomas l Ridgway, Sr., by his wife Elizabeth Andrews, daughter of Edward and Sarah (Ong) Andrews. The will of Elizabeth (Andrews), widow of Thomas Ridgway, Sr., dated 1 Mch. 1725, mentioned her own brother Samuel Andrews and their mother. Sarah (Ong) Andrews (NJW 2;294; NJA 23:383).
Samuel Andrews was a "birthright Friend." He removed to L.E.H. [Little .Egg Harbor] with his parents and, during his own lifetime there, was one of the most prominent and influential members of L.E.H. Friends' Meeting. He was appointed an "overseer" 8 Feb. 1727/8 "in the room of Thomas Ridgway, Sr., deceased" (his own brother-;in-law); was directed "to peruse the Minutes" 14 Sept. 1732; appointed to visit families of Friends and also an elder on 8 Feb. 1738; ordered "to transcribe the Minutes Book" 13 July 1749, and on 3 March. 1760 was one of a committee "to make a List of all Friends ":belonging to the Meeting." From 3rd Month (May) 8th 1722 until ::5th Month (May) 8th 1762, a period of 40 years and 2 months, `he was appointed a "Representative to the Quarterly Meeting" no less than 24 times,, a greater number of times than any other member in the whole history of the Meeting. He was equally prominent in neighborhood affairs, frequently being a witness to wills, appraising estates and acting as bondsman.
He had inherited from his father "150 acres of land at the head [p 76] of the plantation in L.E.H.; 50 acres [his father had] bought from Mordecai Andrews, Sr.; [the land under] the Mill-Pond and [was to have] the Grist-Mill after the death of his mother." He sold all of the above to his brother Jacob (18) on 24 Oct. 1726 for the consideration of £20 silver money (WJD E:36); the deed described the 150 acres as part of the tract Edward (7) had bought of William Biddle and the 50 acres as "meadow land at a fishing-wier between the said Edward and Mordecai, Sr. [2], which Mordecai had bought of the said William Biddle and lies on the East side of the Creek, being the bounds between the said Edward and Mordecai," The Creek is now called Tuckerton Creek.
The will of Samuel Andrews, dated 7 March. 1763 (inventory taken 25 April.) and probated on the 24th, gave £50 to his daughter Elizabeth Lippincott, and the remainder of his entire estate to his wife Elizabeth. He directed that at her death the plantation be sold by his executors and the moneys received be given ¼ to his daughter Elizabeth Lippincott, ¼ his daughter Hannah Mathis, ¼ to his daughter Mary Parsal, and ¼ to his three grandchildren Jesse, Mary and Sarah, children of his deceased son Peter. Executors: sons-in-law Joseph Lippincott and John Persell (NJW 11:324; NJA 33:18).
Children: (births and deaths entered in LEHQR) [Records of Little Egg Harbor Monthly Meeting of Friends, 1900]:
30. Esther; b. 20 Aug. 1727; md. 1744 Joseph Lippincott, son of Joseph and Elizabeth (White) Lippincott of Good Luck, then in Shrewsbury Twp., later Stafford Twp., Mon. Co., but now in Ocean Co
31. Hannah; b. 10 Jan. 1729/30; d. 14 May 1815; md. in 1747 her second cousin Jeremiah Mathis.
+32. Peter 4; b. 28 Oct. 1732; d. 23 Dec. 1762; md. in 1755 Hannah Somers, dau. of Edward and Mary (Steelman) Somers of Great Egg Harbor and Cape May Mo. Mtg. This Peter is often confused with his first cousin Peter Andrews (son of Peter [19] Andrews the Friends' minister, who died at Norwich, England), who, curiously enough, also married a Hannah Somers, but she was a daughter of Richard and Judith (LeTart) Somers.
33. Mary; b. 17 Oct. 1735; md. in 1757/8 John Pearsall.
34. Sarah; b. 28 Apl. 1738; evidently died before her father.
18. JACOB 3 ANDREWS (Edward 2), b. 26 Feb. 1704/5 at Tuckertori (L.E.H.), Bur. Co., was a minister among Friends but did not, reach the prominence achieved by his father or his younger brothers Peter and Isaac. On Sep. 14, 1728, he was appointed to represents L.E.H, Mtg. at the quarterly mtg. and again on Aug. 14, 1729, when he requested the mtg. to grant him a certificate "in order to. visit Friends upon Long Island; and James Pharo signifying his. freedom to go with him as his companion, Gervas Pharo and Richard Willits are appointed to make the necessary inquiries"' A minute of Sep. 14th reads: "This Mtg. having unity with Jacob [p77] Andrews visiting Friends upon Long Island did grant him and James Pharo a Certificate nothing appearing to hinder." He was again representative to the quarterly mtg. on July 12, 1731.
On April 6, 1732, at Chesterfield Mtg. he declared intentions of marriage, with Ann Sykes (b. 16 Feb. 1710/1, dau. of John and Joanna [Murfin] Sykes) and four days later requested his own mtg. to grant him a certificate for that purpose. The marriage is not entered in the Chesterfield records, the minutes stating that it was reported "accomplished" to the mtg. held on June 1st (CfdQR; LEHQR). L.E.H. Mtg. appointed him clerk of the meeting on Sep. 14, 1732, and with his brother Samuel he was directed "to peruse the Minutes." Representative to qtly. mtg. again May 3, 1733, Aug. 14, 1734, Feb. 10, 1736/7, and Feb. 9, 1737/8. On Aug. 10, 1738, he requested a "Certificate of Removal" to the Bur. Mo. Mtg. and produced it there "for himself and wife" on Jan. 1, 1738/9:
ffrom our monthly meeting of man and women (friends held att our meeting house att little Egg Harbour the 14 day of the 7th. month 1738 to our ffriends and brethern of the monthly meeting At Burlington with the kind salutation of our love dear ffreinds these comes to acquaint you that our friend Jacob Andrews At our last meeting Requested our Certificate for him self and his wife These are to Certifie you that these our friends weare of good Searuse a mongst us and in goad unity with the meeting and wall beloued both a mongst friends and others and our friend Jacob Andrews in his trauel was saruisable adifiing wall aproued of by friends and others All so theare Conuarsations ordarly and and wee hope the may retourne to there former habitation Signed in and by order of said Meeting.
Among those signing -the certificate were his brothers Samuel and Nehemiah, his nephew Mordecai Andrews, Jr., and Mary (Taylor) wife of Mordecai, Jr. (BuQR: original).
Aug. 3, 1741, "our friend Jacob Andrews having removed to s Chesterfield requested a Certificate on behalf of himself and wife." r It was granted Sep. 7th and not produced at Chesterfield Until Nov. 5th but that he had moved more than three months before he asked for the certificate is shown by a minute of the Chesterfield Mtg., May 3, 1741: "Thomas Woodward, Thomas Wright, Benjamin Kirby and Jacob Andrews are appointed to receive the deed for the land to build a meeting house on and for a grave yard near Joseph Arneys and to give an acknowledgment of Trust: Thomas Potts Jr. is to draw the deed" (BuQR; CfdQR). This was for the "Indulged Meeting for Worship" (that had, theretofore, been meeting at Joseph Arney's home in Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth Co., and the land given by, him bordered on the partition line between East and West New. Jersey. The deed is not recorded but is recited in another deed which was recorded in the clerk's office of the Inferior. [p 78] Court of Common Pleas for the County of Monmouth in Book S, page 585, which states in part: "Joseph Arney seized in fee of a tract of land an Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County, by deed of Bargain and Sale dated the 3rd day of the 8th. Month called October 1741 granted to Jacob Andrews, Peter Harrison, Samuel Sykes, Mahlon Wright, Joseph Steward and Amos Wright and their survivors" a part of his land containing one and one-, eighth acres "for .the people called Quakers belonging to the Monthly Meeting held at Chesterfield in Burlington County!" On Oct. 6t11, 1748, "Jacob Andrews acquainted this Meeting that there was a necessity of appointing an Overseer , for Upper Freehold Meeting," and on Aug. 6, 1772, .he informed "that several encroachments are,". made on the land belonging to Upper Freehold Meeting" (CfdQR);
In April, 1759, the Chesterfield Meeting appointed several corn mittees to ascertain who held the titles .to the lands where the various meeting houses under its jurisdiction were located and, on June 7th, "Jacob Andrews, one of the Friends appointed to that ` service, reports that the title to a piece of land lying in Mansfield, r and given by Samuel Andrews, is wholly invested in Friends to .. which they relinquish to the said Jacob Andrews he complying with what was enjoined by the grantor." (This was .the two-acre lot in Mansfield noted under Samuel Andrews (1).) On October 3, 1771,
Two of the friends appointed respecting the Meeting House at Little Egg Harbour report in writing:='We of the Commute appointed to confer with :' Jacob Andrews respecting the Meeting House land at Little Egg Harbour having met and conferred with him on the occasion and do find him willing and desireous to make a deed to this Meeting or Egg Harbour as this Meeting, shall direct." This Meeting taking the same into consideration desires the said , Andrews to give such Friends la deed] as the Friends of Little Egg Harbour shall Appoint. [(CfdQR.) This was the lot at Tuckerton referred to Under Edward Andrews (7).1
While a member of Chesterfield Meeting, Jacob Andrews was many times appointed a representative to the quarterly. mtg. and also continued his religious visits. On May 7, 1747, he had a certificate '; "to travel in Friends service to Long Island and New England" and on November 5th, "returning from a religious visit brought Certificates from Purchase in West Chester & Province of New York and one from Westbury (on Long Island) which were read and. ` approved of by the Meeting." On Nov. 7, 1765, he .had a certificate , to visit the meetings to the southward in the jerseys. May 2, 1771, he requested a certificate to visit the meetings on Long ;Island and [p 79] New York, and on Sep. 5th he returned it together with one from Westbury, dated Aug. 6th.
October 24, 1726, 'he purchased from his brother Samuel 200 acres of land in L.E.H. and .the saw and grist mills there that Samuel had inherited from their father (NJD E:36). "In March 1725 Daniel Leeds conveyed to Richard Kirby 225 acres of land on the North or Tunis. River in Bur. Co., located in what is now the western part of the present village of Cookstown on which Kirby erected a grist and saw mill in 1732 and in 1743 Leeds sold an adjoining tract of 130 acres to Jacob Andrews. Kirby died in 1740; and his executors sold the mills to Andrews in 1743. Andrews operated the mills until 17 Nov. 1748 when he sold out to Isaac Ivins Jr. and then moved a -little to the northward where he opened a store and operated a blacksmith shop" (WHBM; BLEH). However, none of these deeds is recorded.

19. PETERS ANDREWS (Edward'), .b. 20 Nov. 1707 at Tuckerton (L.E.H.), Bur. Co., was a cordwainer by trade, an eminent minister among Friends and died in England on July 13, 1756. He was a birthright member of the L.E.H. Mtg. and on March 28, 1727, had its certificate of clearness to marry Esther Butcher of the Bur. Mtg. They were married at the old Springfield meeting, .house on April 11th following (BuQR). Esther was a daughter of Samuel, Sr., and Silence (Bunting) Butcher but her birth is not entered in the records.
On March 1, 1731/2, Peter and his brother-in-law Stephen Cramer, who had married Sarah Andrews (17), bought a farm on Bass River next to John Mathis and on April 4th purchased an adjoining tract from Thomas Mott. Peter sold his interest to Cramer on May 18, 1736, for £50 but the deed was not recorded until twenty years afterward (WJD N:328). On June 7, 1732, he was appointed guardian of his nephews Edward and Richard Ridgway, sons of Thomas Ridgway, dec'd, by his second wife Elizabeth Andrews (7). He removed to Northampton Township in 1734 and settled in Mount Holly, producing a certificate to the Bur. Mtg. on Aug. 5, 1734:

Among the signers were Samuel Andrews (15) and Ann (Sykes) Andrews, wife of Jacob Andrews (18). (BuQR; LEHQR.)
Peter Andrews bought on 11 Aug. 1746 from Elizabeth Estaugh a plantation on .the east side of the present Branch Street in Mount Holly and agreed to sell a small part of it to Joseph and John Linn of Phila., Pa., but as her deed to him was not executed immediately she, at Peter's request, conveyed the Linn part to them by deed of Aug. 11, 1746, and later confirmed the remainder, amounting to about 195 acres, to Peter. He sold 11 acres to his friend John Woolman May 20, 1747, and a smaller lot to him on April 3, 1748; gave 3 acres to his son Samuel on June 17, 1753, and after his death his executors sold all the remaining part to John Woolman on March 29, 1757. Two days later Woolman sold all of his three purchases, excepting about one acre, to Benajah Andrews (41). (WJD HH:44; 8:248, 251; S:20, 22; A-E:169; A-1:293.) The township elected him overseer of the poor on March 11, 1739/40; constable for Bridgetown (the old name of Mount Holly) on March 9, 1740/41, and in the same year he, with others, petitioned that a new road might be laid out. He was nominated surveyor of highways on March 14, 1748/9, but was not elected.
Peter Andrews was an outstanding member of Mount Holly Preparative Meeting and on six different occasions was chosen to represent the Bur. Mtg. at the quarterly meeting (BuQR). Bur. Mtg. chose him, with others, as a trustee to accept the deed by Samuel Cripps, dated Sep. 3, 1748, for an addition to the ground on Woodpecker Lane in, .Mount Holly on which the meeting house had been erected (BuD B:193). He began his ministry in his 37th year, the Bur. Mtg. entering the following minute on Aug. 1, 1743:
Whereas our friends Peter Andrews, John Woolman and Josiah White have had at times a concern on their minds to appear in publick by way of Exhortation to Religious duties, whose appearances are generally well received; whereupon a motion was made here that they might be recommended to sit in the Meeting of Ministers and Elders and they are hereby accordingly recommended.
He began his visits in the ministry in May, 1745, requesting a certificate to visit meetings in Chester Co., Pa., "which this Meeting hath unity with desiring his service in the Ministry may be for the Edification of the Visited." Nov. 4th he had a certificate to "visit the Meetings on Long Island and some parts of the Main" and on July 4, 1747, he and John Woolman had certificates to visit Friends in New England." They returned the certificates on October 5th, producing at the same time certificates from "Friends in different parts which were all read in this Meeting." During, the next seven years his ministry was in his own meeting, the quarterly meeting and meeting of ministers and elders. In 1755 he set out on his memorable visit to England. January 6th, "Our friend Peter Andrews acquainted this Meeting that he hath had a concern on his mind for a considerable time to visit Friends on Truth's Account in Great Britain and the adjacent parts desiring Friends Approbation." He was in England about fifteen months traveling back and forth between London and Yorkshire, preaching in the open air, in the homes of Friends and in many meeting houses. His unremitting labors led to his untimely death at Norwich.
On July 3, 1758, the Bur. Mtg. appointed a committee "to attend the Quarterly Meeting and also deliver out Testimony with those received from England concerning our dear friend Peter Andrews." They are too long to give here in extenso but all of them signify the great esteem and love in which he was held and extoll his exceptional gifts to the highest degree (BuQR).
He signed his will March 1, 1755, five days before requesting the certificate to England. He gave his wife Esther the best bed and other household furniture; to son Samuel 20 shillings, "he being already provided for by me" (he had given Samuel by deed of gift three acres of his home plantation); ordered his executors to sell the remainder of his estate and after paying the debts and funeral charges directed them to pay the balance remaining "to my wife and eight children [excluding his son Samuel] Thomas, Benajah, Mary, Temperance, Edward, Hannah, Elizabeth and Peter,-my wife and my son Benajah to have each a double portion and all the others to be equal; my daughters to have their shares at eighteen years or marriage and my wife is to have the full use of all legacies until the children come to age of eighteen years and I direct my son Peter to put out to trade at .his age of fourteen years." Executors: his wife and son Benajah. Proved Dec. 6, 1756. Inventory of personal estate taken Dec. 14th listed "his apparel (at home 15 shillings) chiefly in England and not come to hand" (NJW 8:345; NJA 32:13).

20. Nehemiah 3 ANDREWS (Edward 2), was not mentioned in his father's will (May 3, 1712) but was named executor in the will of his mother Sarah (Ong) Andrews dated Nov. 2, 1732 (NJW 2:69; NJA 23:13; NJW 16:70; NJA 34:18). The dates of his birth (7th Mo. [Sep.] 4th, 1712) and death (9th Mo. [Sep.] 22nd, 1785) are entered in the records of -the Haddonfield Mo. Mtg., Glouc. Co. (NHQR).
Nehemiah Andrews and Elizabeth Lippincott declared their intentions of marriage at Little Egg Harbor Mtg., 9th of 6th Mo. (Aug) 1739, renewed them 13th of 7th Mo. and the marriage was reported "Orderly Accomplished" to the meeting held 11th of 8th Mo. Elizabeth Lippincott, born 15th of 4th Mo. (June) 1718, was a daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth (White) Lippincott of Good Luck, then in Monmouth County, and a,sister to Joseph Lippincott, Jr., who :married Nehemiah's niece Esther Andrews (30) at the Little Egg Harbor Meeting in 1744. On the 8th of 8th Mo. (Oct) 1741, Nehemiah and Elizabeth received a certificate to remove to Haddonfield Mo. Mtg., but they returned to L.E.H. on a certificate from Haddonfield dated 9th of 3rd Mo. (May) 1743 which they presented to the L.E.H. Mtg. on the 9th of 4th Mo. following.
Nehemiah purchased a right to 100 acres of land in L.E.H. Township from Thomas Wetherill on 1 Sept. 1745, sold a part of it to Peter Mordock of Barnegat, Mon. Co., on 16 March 1747 and still another part to James Wainwright of L.E.H. Twp. on 10 Sept. 1748 (NJD H:97; Y:399). The L.E.H. Mtg. appointed him, 10 of 1st Mo. (Mch) 1747/8, to dig the graves. burying ground and on 10th of 5th Mo. 1755 he and his wife requested a certificate to remove to the Burlington Mo. Mtg. where they remained less than a year, taking that meeting's certificate to the Abington Mo. Mtg. (then in Phila. but now in Montgomery Co., Penna.). He was a member there of Oxford Particular Meeting, was chosen one of its overseers the same year and frequently represented Abington at the quarterly meeting.
On 24th of 4th Mo. 1758 Abington Mtg. gave him, his wife and children a certificate to return to Haddonfield where he was a member of Upper Greenwich Particular Meeting. Sometime before the Ist of 9th Mo. 1774 he and his younger brother Isaac (21) divided between them the lands they had inherited under their mother's will (see under Isaac, following). He lived for some time in Woolwich Township and died, intestate, in Deptford Township. Inventory of his personal estate taken on 24 Oct. 1785 and administration was granted to David Cooper of Deptford on 13 May 1786 (NJW 28:121; NJA 36:12).

21. ISAAC3 ANDREWS (Edward 2) was born at Little Egg Harbor about 1714 and died in Deptford Township, Gloucester Co., on 14th of 12th Mo. 1755, aged 61 years. He was not mentioned in his father's will (1st of 3rd Mo. [May] 1712) but with .his older brother Nehemiah (20) received all of his mother Sarah's lands under her will of 9th Mo. 2nd 1732 which was not probated until 17 June 1773 (NJW 2:69; 16:70; NJA 23:13; 34:18).

Isaac Andrews married Elizabeth Elfreth, daughter of Jeremiah and Sarah (Oldman) Elfreth, of Phila., Pa., at the meeting house there 21st of 9th Mo. (Nov.) 1738. She was born at Phila. 11th of 2nd Mo. (Apl.) 1719 and died in Salem Co., NJ., 9th of 5th Mo. 1778, aged 59 years and 3 months. Isaac was a tanner; joined Haddonfield Mo. Mtg. 9th of 5th Mo. (July) 1739 on certificate from Burlington Mtg. and purchased a two-acre house lot in Newton Township, October 20, 1739, from John and Katherine Howell of Phila., Pa. (NJD P:282). He was prominent in meeting affairs, being appointed to attend .the quarterly meeting in 1743-44-45 and 1746. On 14th of 2nd Mo. (Apl.) 1746, "Our friend Isaac Andrews signified his Concern to visit ffriends in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina in company with John Woolman." Permission was granted to him on May 12 and on October 7 following he returned the certificate granted and at -the same time ,produced three certificates, one from Nansamun in Virginia, one from North Carolina, and one from Herring Creek in Maryland, "signifying the unity and satisfaction of ffriends with his visit" (NHQR).
He bought 103 acres in Newton Twp. from Joseph Bullock of New Hanover Twp., Bur. Co., on 14 February 1760 (NJD P:294) and 79 acres on Cooper River from Jacob Clement and others on 2 March 1761. He sold 16 acres of this latter tract to Joseph McClean on 9 June 1761 (NJD X:132). He and his first cousin Mordecai Andrews, Jr. (13) purchased on 1 Dec. 1761, as tenants in common, 529 acres of unappropriated land (NJD S:104) but no subsequent deeds are recorded showing that they ever divided or sold .the tract. Under the will of his aunt Mary Andrews (9) of Phila., Isaac, ,his brother Peter (19) and their first cousin Mordecai, Jr., were given 1150 acres of land on Pohatkunk Creek in Morris (now Warren) Co. and, on Peter's death in England before 'his aunt, his share lapsed and became the property of Mordecai, Jr., and a. resurvey finding the tract to contain 1679 acres, Mordecai and Isaac divided it on 8 June 1763 so that Isaac's share amounted to 750 acres (WJPR L:6; NJD '1.:93). On July 28, 1763, and October 3, 1765, -he advertised in .the Pennsylvania Gazette:
For Sale by Isaac Andrews, living near Woodbury Creek in Gloucester Co., West Jersey, a Tract of 750 Acres ,of land in Sussex County on a branch of Delaware River called Pokattekung about forty miles above Trenton.
For Sale by Isaac Andrews of Little Mantua Creek in Gloucester Co., West Jersey, a tract of 1270 Acres of land in Sussex County, West Jersey, sixty miles from Philadelphia and about the same from New York on a branch of Delaware River called Pohateenney. Inquire of Isaac Andrews or of Jeremiah Elfreth in Phila. [NJA 24:212, 629.]
The latter advertisement for 1270 acres evidently included the tract of 529 "unappropriated" acres of the 1761 deed, Isaac having no doubt purchased Mordecai's share by an unrecorded deed.
In his will, 25 July 1775, 'he called himself a "tanner of Deptford Township" (NJW 16:467; NJA 34:18). He devised to his wife Elizabeth for and during the term of her natural life his plantation on Little Mantua Creek and at her death then over to .his son Jeremiah in fee simple, "provided that Jeremiah pay all the debts I etc., etc.] . . . but if he neglects or refuses .to pay then I order my Executors -to sell the said plantation and after paying all the debts and legacies hereinafter mentioned to divide the overplus equally between my children Jeremiah, Isaac and Esther." - [On June 17, 1766, the executors sold the plantation to Isaac Stephens, the deed reciting that it became] necessary to make an immediate sale, the widow and Jeremiah agreeing as by their deed of confirmation and release, the executors having discharged all the debts, etc., on the 10th of 9th Month 1776 (Gil) 0:477). ] He gave his slaughter Esther a legacy of £ 100; and silver watches to his two sons, and then directed his executors to sell the remainder of his real estate, which he described as follows:
Land and swamp agreed for in Sussex County on a branch of the River Dclaware called Pohatscunck and also that part I leased to Daniel Furman; also a tract of 50 acres near Little Egg Harbor devised to me by my mother; also my house-lot and tan yard in Haddonfield and a lot of 1 % acres adjoining Edward Gibbs; also a house and lot on the South side of Sasafras street in Philadelphia which father Elfreth bought of John Smith of Burlington; also a ground rent of ,E 6 per year payable by Aquilla Jones Smith in Second street in Philadelphia and a ground. rent of £2:10 in Philadelphia devised to me by my aunt Mary Andrews of Philadelphia payable by Dederick Recace, inn holder, in market street.
Executors "my cousin Mark Miller and my friend Thomas Redmand." (Mark Miller was no blood relative of Isaac Andrews. He was a brother to John Miller who 'had married Isaac's eldest slaughter Sarah.)

23. EDWARD 4 ANDREWS (Mordecai,3 Jr.), born 28 of 3 Mo. 1726 at Little Egg Harbor Twp. (LEHQR), died before his father so was not mentioned in the latter's will of 8 June 1763 which did, however, mention Edward's son Joseph. While still in L.E.H. Twp. he witnessed the will, 18 January 1747/8, of Roger Osborne (NJW 6:304; NJA 30:362).
He married, between 8 Feb. 1749/50 and 13th of 5th Mo. 1756, Alice Johnson, the widow of John DeBow of Middletown, Moil. Co., for on this last date the L.E.H. Mtg. entered the following minute against him: "Edward Andrews has been spoken to and Laboured with for his marriage out of the unity of Friends and makes no Satisfaction [for] which this Meeting Disowns him from being a member of our Chrystian Society." And on 9th of 9th Mo. the Meeting appointed Thomas Ridgway and James Willits "to carrey Edward Andrews a Copy of his being disowned from Friends."
In the July Term of the Middlesex Co. Court of Common Pleas he sued John Moores for a debt of £85 (MxCt.); witnessed the will of Obadiah Bowne of Middletown on 13 January 1761 and appraised on April 18, 1761, the personal estate of Andrew White (NJW 6:407., II:175; NJA 33:53, 474). He died in Middletown intestate, before 9 Mch. 1763 when his widow Alice renounced administration of his estate and "leaves it to the creditors," George FitzRandolph of Middlesex Co. being appointed on the 11th (NJW H:221; NJA 33:17). On January 5, 1775, John DeBow (Jr.) of Middletown "by and with the consent and approbation of my mother Alice Andrews" conveyed a lot of ground in Middletown to William Applegate. The parents of Alice (Johnson-DeBow) Andrews have not thus far been ascertained.
Children:
68. Joseph; mentioned in his grandfather's will.
69. Isaac; I.). 11 Feb. 1759; d. 24 Mch. 1832.
26. JACOB ANDREWS4 (Mordecai,3 Jr.) was born at L.E.H. Twp. but his birth is not entered in the meeting records. He was named an executor in his father's will of 8 June 1763 and married Kezia Rider of L.E.H. Twp. He secured a license for his marriage to her on 6 Feb. 1764 (NJMB A:123) which he must have lost, for a second license was issued to him on March 10th (Ibid. A:125). His bondsman on the first license was John Bery who had a license ,the same day to marry Jacob's sister Prudence Andrews (29).
Leah Blackman in BLEH stated that Jacob "married in Long Island where he settled"; which is shown above to have been erroneous. No record of his living on Long Island has been found.
27. ISAAC ANDREWS4 (Mordecai,3 Jr.), born abt. 1744 at L.E.H., though his birth is not entered in the meeting records, married by license of 24 Dec. 1767 (NJMB A:153) Hannah Johnston, dau. of Joseph Johnston, Sr., of Galloway Twp., Gloucester Co. His bondsman was John Bery (noted under 26). Joseph Johnston, Sr., in his will 1 March. 1765 gave a legacy of £30 to his daughter Hannah and the account of his administratrix (his second wife) Sarah [—] included a receipt by Isaac Andrews "for my wife's legacy" (NJW 14:230; 15:100; NJA 33:224).
In the Sept., 1773, tax list of L.E.H. Twp., Isaac was rated as the owner of 150 acres of land worth £ 18 and 18 "cattle and horses" for a total assessment of £133:10:00 (NJPRO). He was possibly the John Andrews of Stafford Twp., Mon. Co., who was rated there in Aug., 1782, as the owner of 180 acres of improved land with 2 horses and 10 cattle (Ibid.). He and his wife Hannah were both living in L.E.H. Twp. on March 8, 1814, for he and his wife joined in a deed of that date with her brother William Johnston and his wife Hannah and her brothers-in-law Isaac Cordery and Isaac Somers to her nephew-by-law Joseph Shourds for all their rights to a plantation which their father Joseph Johnston, Sr., had devised to his son David Johnston (Glou. Co. deeds at Woodbury, 11:150).
The only children of Isaac and Hannah thus far identified were:
70. Mahala; md on 30 Mch. 1800 her distant cousin Mahlon Mathis.
71. Melissa; b. 1.31.1776; d. 2.14.1861; md. 19 July 1801 Jonathan Gifford, Jr., b. 7.19.1778; d. 10.1.1854.
32. PETER4 ANDREWS (Samuel), b. 8 Mo. 28, 1732, at L.E.H., md., Hannah Somers, b. 11 Mo. 2, 1733/4 (dau. of Edmund and Mary [Steelman] Somers of Great Egg Harbor, Gloucester Co.), and has often been confused with his first cousin Peter Andrews (47) who md. Hannah Somers, b. 12 Mo. 22, 1735/6 (dau. of Richard and Judith [Letart l Somers). These two Hannahs were also first cousins.
On Feb. 13, 1755, Peter requested of the L.E.H. Mtg. a. certificate of clearness in order to marry a Friend belonging to Great Egg Harbor and Cape May Monthly Meeting and appearing at the mtg. house near the present Somers Point, Gloucester Co. on March 3rd declared his intentions of marriage with Hannah Somers. The certificate was granted to him on March 13th and on April 7th they declared their intentions for the second time. The marriage is not entered in the book of marriages but a minute of May 5th stated that it had been accomplished "orderly."
Joseph Mapes married Edmund Somers' widow and on June 20, 1757, Peter and Hannah gave him a receipt "for £33:7:9, in full of My wife's Legacy." The receipt was witnessed by John Falkenburg who had married Hannah's sister Mary Somers, and on June 1, 1763, he testified that he was present and saw Hannah Andrews, relict of Peter Andrews, sign and deliver "the within receipt" (NJD S:369).
Peter Andrews died intestate on Dec. 23, 1762. The inventory of his personal estate, amounting to £141:10:6, was made on Feb. 22, 1763, and administration was granted to his widow Hannah on the 25th. She filed her account on May 21, 1765 (NJW 11:413; NJA 33:17). Peter had purchased, 15 June 1761, a dwelling house and various tracts of land in L.E.H. Twp. from James and Susannah Wainwright (NJD Y:399) and, as his personal estate was found insufficient to pay his debts, the estate was sued in May term 1762 (BuCt) by Eber De:Cou of Mansfield, Jeremiah and John Ridgway of L.E.H., for (their) combined debt of £500:10:00 with costs of £10:19:5, and recovered judgment against the administratrix. Daniel Ellis, high sheriff of Bur. Co., levied on Peter's real estate and sold it off to Jeremiah Ridgway, the highest bidder, on Sept. 2nd and gave him a deed on the 8th (NJD T:34).
The will of Peter's father, Samuel Andrews (15), dated March 7, 1763, ordered his plantation sold and bequeathed one-quarter of the proceeds "to my grandchildren Jesse, mary and Sarah, children of my son Peter Andrews, decease."

He was named executor of his father's will and at the probate 19 Dec. 1775 he affirmed "being of the people called Quakers" (NJW 17:281; NJA 34:18).
He lived in New Hanover Twp., Bur. Co., and was a member of Upper Freehold Particular Meeting in Upper Freehold Twp., Mon. Co., just east of the Province Line. The Particular Mtg., in a report to Chesterfield Mo. Mtg. dated 12th Mo. 5th 1776, charged him with "having gone out in his marriage, being active in military service, taking spirituous liquors to excess and does not make satisfaction." On June 5, 1777, the Chesterfield Mtg. entered a minute: "the Friends appointed to that service produced a Testimony against John Andrews for being guilty of taking strong drink to excess, marrying in a way contrary to our discipline to a relation between first and second cousins and also being concerned in military affairs." In 1776 the L.E.H. Mtg. disowned Hannah Andrews for her marriage out of unity with Friends.
John Andrews died intestate. Administration of his estate was granted, 24 Jan. 1812, to his widow Hannah who entered bond of $2,000 and signed her name by mark. The bondsmen were her nephew Samuel Parker and her son-in-law Joseph English, Jr. The inventory, filed the same day, amounted to $982.28 (BuW Adm. Book A:74; NJA 41:13; Trenton File 12554C). Her account, to which she affirmed on 14 May 1813, showed an item of $15 paid to Thomas Branson for a coffin and a balance for distribution amounting to $545.37 (BuW File A:1812). She died at Tuckerton, L.E.H., on April 4, 1819, aged 83 years.

He and his wife and their son Jacob had a certificate Jan. 1, 1759, from the Bur. Mo. Mtg. directed to the Haddonfield Mo. Mtg. and his brother Peter (47) was included with them.
He was a "tanner" by trade and while still living in Northampton Twp., Bur. Co., bought from his father, by deed of 17 June 1753, a tract of land and meadow which was part of a larger tract the father had bought of Elizabeth Estaugh on 6th Mo. 11th 1746 (NJD HH:44), but before removing to Gloucester Co. he and his wife Phebe sold a small part (3 acres and 2 square perches) to his brother Benajah (41) by deed of 11 Nov. 1758 (NJD S:20). The actual date of his removal to Gloucester Co. is not definitely known. In the last deed cited, 11 Nov. 1758, he described himself as of Northampton Twp., Bur. Co., but by a deed of Jan. 7, 1758, from Thomas Wilkins of Deptford Twp., Glouc. Co., for 45 acres of land there he was called "of the same Place." This purchase from Wilkins is recited in a deed of 2 Feb. 1760 by his widow Phebe and his brother Thomas (40), executors of his estate, to James Whitall of Deptford for the same 45 acres (NJD U:308).
In his will, dated 28 Nov. 1759 and probated on 21 Jan. 1760 (NJW 10:78; NJA 32:13), he called himself a "Tanner, of Deptford Township in the County of Gloucester and Province of West New Jersey." He mentioned his wife Phebe, his son Jacob under age, and appointed his wife and brother Thomas as his executors, the brother also being appointed to be "Guardian of the child or children if there be two or more." One of the witnesses was his sister Hannah (45). The inventory of his personal estate taken on Jan. 16, 1760, amounted to £452:9:9, and "hides in the yard and tan-house" were valued at £ 193:17:6.
His widow Phebe married William Bassett of Pilesgrove, Salem Co., at the Chester Mo. Mtg. in Moorestown, Bur. Co., on Nov. 6, 1761, and had two children by him: Mary Bassett, b. 9.18.1762, and Abigail Bassett, b. 9.6.1766. William Bassett died 22 Jan. 1769 and Phebe married her third husband David Brown of Greenwich Twp. Glouc. Co., on 27 Nov. 1777 at Woodbury.
Samuel and Phebe Andrews had an only son:
81. Jacob; b. 10 Sept. 1755, who moved to Salem Co. with his mother in August, 1777, and had a certificate from the Salem Mo. Mtg. dated Apl. 2, 1781, to remove to the Phila. Mo. Mtg.

He was appointed administrator of his mother-in-law's estate 21 Jan. 1754. He moved to Gloucester Co. soon after his marriage and spent the remaining years of his life in Deptford Township. His will, 6 March 1760, proved 1 Aug. (NJW 10:78; NJA 32:14), gave his wife various articles of household furniture and two-fifths of the residue of his entire estate and one-fifth part to each of his three children Thomas, Azutbah, and Peter at their respective ages of 21 years. Executors: his brother Benajah Andrews (41) and brother-in-law Lawrence Webster. The inventory of his personal estate taken on May 13 included £ 12, "commissions as Executor of the estate of his brother Samuel" (39).

41. BENAJAH 4 ANDREWS (Peter3), son of Peter (19) and Esther (Butcher) Andrews, born ca. 1733-34 at or near Mount Holly, Bur. Co., was named executor of his father's will and received two-elevenths parts of the estate. On 1st Mo. 29th 1757 he and his mother sold to John Woolman two separate lots of land in Northampton Township, ~ Bur. Co., which his father had bought of Elizabeth Estaugh in 1746 and ordered his executors to sell. Two days later Woolman reconveyed the land to Benajah (NJD 8:248 and 251).
On the 7th of 11th Mo. 1757 the Burlington Mo. Mtg. appointed him to attend the quarterly meeting to be held at Chesterfield 2nd of 11th Mo. and at the same time entered in the minutes that "such of the representatives to that Meeting as are members of the Meeting of Ministers and Elders are desired to acquaint that Meeting that this Meeting recommends Benajah Andrews and John Sleeper as Ministers in Unity." On 5th of 6th Mo. 1758 he expressed a desire to join William Reckett on a visit to Friends in the Eastern Colonies but it was reported in .the next meeting that "sickness was like to prevent the proposed journey."
He was again appointed to attend the quarterly meeting 6th of 11th Mo. 1759 and on 2nd of 4th Mo. 1759 acquainted the meeting "that the concern he sometime ago had to visit Friends to the Eastward hath of late revived and our Friend John Storer having gone in the service he is desirous of joining him as a companion."

On 2nd of 6th Mo. 1760 he applied for a certificate to Haddonfield Meeting "within the compass of which he expects to reside for a few months." It was approved 7th of 7th Mo. and he returned to Mount Holly in December bringing with him a certificate from Haddonfield dated 8th of 12th Mo. 1760. On the 2nd of 3rd Mo. 1761 the Burlington Meeting appointed him and five other members a committee "to make a just and equitable distribution of all the lands of Ebenezer Large, deceased, pursuant to his will dated 3rd of 10th Mo. 1759," and the 7th of 9th Mo. 1761 he requested a certificate to remove to Philadelphia, Penna.
