A. W. ANDREWS, farmer, P. O. Andrews Settlement, son of Levi and Polly (Porter) Andrews, was born in Spring Mills, Allegany Co., N. Y., in 1824. His parents removed to Bingham township, Potter Co., Penn., in 1825, where they remained until 1833, when, with household goods loaded on a wagon, and drawn by three yoke of oxen, they proceeded on their way to what is now Andrews Settlement, named in honor of Levi Andrews. When about a mile from Ellisburg, the snow being knee deep, and it being springtime and just in the midst of a freshet, they discovered a bridge had been washed away, but by chopping a tree, which fortunately fell across the stream, they were enabled to cross, the oxen swimming the creek. Having a cow and calf, Mr. Andrews carried the calf over in his arms, and the cow followed through the creek; they had to walk about a mile through water knee-deep to reach a stopping place, and, it is superfluous to add, were in an exhausted condition. This but feebly illustrates the adventurous career of pioneers in this county. They eventually reached their destination, locating in the woods and clearing a farm. They had a family of ten children: Chester; Cloe; Lawson; Maria, afterward Mrs. Timothy Ives, of Coudersport; Louisa, now Mrs. Isaac Frink. of Hebron township; Lowata, wife of Bartell Dickinson, of Ellisburg: Sally, now Mrs. Samuel Newell, of Mckean county; Orren; Susan, now Mrs. Ben- jamin S. McConnell, of Canisteo, Steuben Co., N. Y., and A. W. Louisa, Sally, Susan and A. W. are the only ones living. The father died in March, 1861; the mother had died of cancer on February 10, 1844. A. W. Andrews made his home with his parents until their death. In 1859 he located on the farm he now owns in Andrews Settlement, where he has since devoted his atten- tion to agriculture and the lumber interest. While a boy, Mr. Andrews chopped cord-wood in the winter time in his stocking feet, heated boards or slabs being brought to him upon which to stand; he has hunted cows barefooted, and been pricked with nettles until actually compelled to stand in the mud, the only method of relief. But notwithstanding all these experiences, he has been suc- cessful, and now owns a fine farm with good buildings, and is the possessor of a competency. He was married. in 1859, to Martha N. Scoville, of Harrison township, and to them have been born six children: Luman F., Roscoe, Florence (now Mrs. Clinton Olmsted, of Emporium), Fred and Frank (twins) and Arch. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews are members of the Presbyterian Church. He is an active supporter of the Democratic party.
