Henry ANDREWS [1, 2, 3] |
- Henry Andrews served on a coroner's jury in 1651; was named in the list of those who took the oath of Fidelity in 1657; in 1659, he and John Macomber were authorized to erect a sawmill on Mill River, "if it be not found hurtful to the grist mill"; was one of the grantees of the North Purchase in 1668; and one of the grantees of the South Purchase in 1672; and was returned among the "Heads of Families" in 1675.
It has been said that he was a soldier in "King Philip's war," but the statement may have grown out of the fact that he was killed by the Indians in the spring of 1676, according to Gov. Winslow's letter while at work on his farm in Taunton. The exact date of his death has not been preserved. He acknowledged a deed the "fifth of the first month, 1676". He also joined with his wife in a deed dated April 7, 1676, which his wife (Mary) acknowledged "ye 5th of 6th month 1676", "in behalf of herself and her husband." (Plym. Rec. Bk. 5, p. 285). His death must have occurred soon after the date of this deed.
The inventory of his estate was returned November 29, 1676. John Richmond said in a deposition given October 9, 1697, that he left "his wife a widow and many small children." If Gov. Winslow was accurate in his statement that the four persons killed that spring left thirty "orphaned children," Andrews must have left seven; but when his estate was settled, Mary 28, 1677, one third was decreed to his widow, a double share of the balance yo his son Henry, and one share to each of five daughters, not named. (Plym. Prob. Rec., Vil. 3, part II., p. 66). [1]
