Francis Andrews (also spelled Andros, Andrus, and Androus), of Hartford and Fairfield, is thought to possibly be a brother of William of Hartford and John of Farmington. It is worth noting that Francis' son John and Williams' son Thomas married sisters (daughters of John Kirby of Middletown). Also, Francis' son Thomas and John's son Abraham married another pair of sisters (daughters of Robert Porter of Farmington).
Also, Jacobus was of the opinion that Francis' widow, Anne, married a Mr. Smith after his decease, not that Smith was her LNAB.

Francis Andrews (also spelled Andros, Andrus, and Androus), of Hartford and Fairfield, is thought to possibly be a brother of William of Hartford and John of Farmington. It is worth noting that Francis' son John and Williams' son Thomas married sisters (daughters of John Kirby of Middletown). Also, Francis' son Thomas and John's son Abraham married another pair of sisters (daughters of Robert Porter of Farmington).
Also, Jacobus was of the opinion that Francis' widow, Anne, married a Mr. Smith after his decease, not that Smith was her LNAB.

== Biography==
Francis Andrews, spelled Andros, Androus, was found to be living in Hartford as early as 1635 Ancestry.com. ''Connecticut, Compiled Census and Census Substitutes Index, 1790-1890'', Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 1999 one of the founders of Hartford, 1639, his name being on the Founders' Monument. He removed to Fairfield about 1648, and became one of the Bankside farmers, where his home lot of ten acres lay west of Daniel Frost's. He remained in Fairfield until his death in 1663.
=== Bankside Farmers ===
}
Fairfield, Connecticut was settled after the Pequot Wars. The area was called ''Unquowa'' by the Native Americans. After some of the area's farmers found that their cattled had wandered to the west along old Indian trails, a group of five farmers decided to settle in that remote area called ''Machamux'' (The Beautiful Land) by the Native Americans. They became known as ''The Bankside Farmers'' and were officially sanctioned by the town of Fairfield to inhabit this land. Today, this area is called ''Greens Farms'' and is part of Westport, Connecticut. Later Francis Andrew's son-in-law, Simon Couch, purchased the land known as ''Burying Hill'' which in turn was obtained by the town of Westport in 1893. It is now a town park known as ''Burying Hill Beach.'' Josephine C. Frost.

== Biography==
=== Birth ===Francis' birth is an estimate. He was born between say 1610 and 1623. Based on an estimated marriage about 1640 and ownership of land in 1640, he would have been at least 21 so born before 1619.
=== Marriage ===Francis married Anne or Anna, surname unknown, about 1639 or 1643 probably in Hartford, Connecticut. Torrey, Clarence Almon. ''[[Space:Torrey’s New England Marriages Prior to 1700|Torrey’s New England Marriages Prior to 1700]]'' (Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore, 1985) We know that son Thomas was baptized in 1646 and that daughter Hannah married in 1662, implying her birth about 1642. Anne is called Anna Smith in the probate records, leading to many genealogists giving her a maiden name of Smith.Many of Torrey's (New England Marriages) list surname as Smith. Torrey, however, has ignored "Smith." However, probate documents seldom, if ever, mention a wife's maiden name. It is much more likely that she married again shortly after her husband's death. Remarriage was the norm especially when there were underage children.

Francis Andrews (also spelled Andros, Andrus, and Androus), of Hartford and Fairfield, is thought to possibly be a brother of William of Hartford and John of Farmington. It is worth noting that Francis' son John and Williams' son Thomas married sisters (daughters of John Kirby of Middletown). Also, Francis' son Thomas and John's son Abraham married another pair of sisters (daughters of Robert Porter of Farmington).
Also, Jacobus was of the opinion that Francis' widow, Anne, married a Mr. Smith after his decease, not that Smith was her LNAB.

Francis Andrews (also spelled Andros, Andrus, and Androus), of Hartford and Fairfield, is thought to possibly be a brother of William of Hartford and John of Farmington. It is worth noting that Francis' son John and Williams' son Thomas married sisters (daughters of John Kirby of Middletown). Also, Francis' son Thomas and John's son Abraham married another pair of sisters (daughters of Robert Porter of Farmington).
Also, Jacobus was of the opinion that Francis' widow, Anne, married a Mr. Smith after his decease, not that Smith was her LNAB.

== Biography==
Francis Andrews, spelled Andros, Androus, was found to be living in Hartford as early as 1635 Ancestry.com. ''Connecticut, Compiled Census and Census Substitutes Index, 1790-1890'', Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 1999 one of the founders of Hartford, 1639, his name being on the Founders' Monument. He removed to Fairfield about 1648, and became one of the Bankside farmers, where his home lot of ten acres lay west of Daniel Frost's. He remained in Fairfield until his death in 1663.
=== Bankside Farmers ===
}
Fairfield, Connecticut was settled after the Pequot Wars. The area was called ''Unquowa'' by the Native Americans. After some of the area's farmers found that their cattled had wandered to the west along old Indian trails, a group of five farmers decided to settle in that remote area called ''Machamux'' (The Beautiful Land) by the Native Americans. They became known as ''The Bankside Farmers'' and were officially sanctioned by the town of Fairfield to inhabit this land. Today, this area is called ''Greens Farms'' and is part of Westport, Connecticut. Later Francis Andrew's son-in-law, Simon Couch, purchased the land known as ''Burying Hill'' which in turn was obtained by the town of Westport in 1893. It is now a town park known as ''Burying Hill Beach.'' Josephine C. Frost.

Francis made a will 6 January 1662. It was proved 5 March 1663. So he must have passed sometime between these two dates. He was buried in the "Old Burying Ground" in Fairfield, Connecticut.

== Biography==
=== Birth ===Francis' birth is an estimate. He was born between say 1610 and 1623. Based on an estimated marriage about 1640 and ownership of land in 1640, he would have been at least 21 so born before 1619.
=== Marriage ===Francis married Anne or Anna, surname unknown, about 1639 or 1643 probably in Hartford, Connecticut. Torrey, Clarence Almon. ''[[Space:Torrey’s New England Marriages Prior to 1700|Torrey’s New England Marriages Prior to 1700]]'' (Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore, 1985) We know that son Thomas was baptized in 1646 and that daughter Hannah married in 1662, implying her birth about 1642. Anne is called Anna Smith in the probate records, leading to many genealogists giving her a maiden name of Smith.Many of Torrey's (New England Marriages) list surname as Smith. Torrey, however, has ignored "Smith." However, probate documents seldom, if ever, mention a wife's maiden name. It is much more likely that she married again shortly after her husband's death. Remarriage was the norm especially when there were underage children.
