| Notes |
- Andrew was born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania in 1817. Different references give different specific dates. Ref 4 says 17 Jul, ref 2 says 15 Jul, ref 3 says "15 or 18 Jul."
Family tradition says that he worked as a drover. In about 1840, he passed through the town of Moorefield, Ohio. He met a girl there and fell in love with her, so when he finished his job as a drover, he returned to Moorefield, married her and settled there. His brother, John, also moved to Moorefield at the same time and also married a local girl.
Andrew is found on the 1850 census listed as a plasterer with $300 in property living with his family in Moorefield.
He served in the military during the American Civil War.
Andrew made a will which said he was about to travel on a voyage to Europe. The will named his wife and two sons and appointed as executor "my friend Doctor Samuel Murdock of Canonsburg."
