Charles Andrews’ three children by Ardella Child were living with Almon and Mary Jane (Lord) Andrews at the time of the 1880 USC: Harriet, aged 6 (b. about 1874); Lewis, aged 4 (b. abt 1876); and Bertha, aged 3 (b. about 1877).

In Rumford town records, Derius [sic] Andrews records intention to marry Miss Dolly Dammon 14 Sep 1832; Dolly is the mother of Darius’ youngest daughter Mercy, who was born 1833/1835. This is the “Widow Damon” listed in the “old Greenwood records” that has long been misread as Almon Andrews’ second wife (Almon Andrews m. Mary J Lord and died 1886; Mary died 1906).

Hi Kathrine:
 
These are the Andrews that I have in the Minot Death & Cemeteries Book.
Also attach what little I have on the Andrews Family.
 
Almon Andrews        1801-1808    s/o Persis [Perez] & Sarah Andrews    (no cem)
...

first item about Almon Andrews is of some interest and leads in other, tantalizing directions. Almon is the son of Perez Andrews (b. 1769). I didn’t have his death date: 1808 is early, and he died at only 7 yrs old.  Perez’s (b. 1769) son Marshall (of the lawsuit/land sale) named a son Almon in 1835. 

But importantly, for our purposes, Darius Andrews named a son Almon, b. 1816, the next son he had after Almon’s 1808 death. And Darius’s son Salmon/Salomon named a son Almon, also in 1835. Sure makes you wonder…

Further proof that Almon was Darius’ son come from the Canton and Sumner Overseers of the Poor journals in attempting to find money for the family of Charles Andrews, the son of Almon.

Per Gregory Childs: “Charles and Della (Child) Andrews ended up getting a divorce and she remarried and moved to Massachusetts later on, but before all of that happened, they ended up appearing quite often in the Overseers of the Poor journals of Canton and Sumner. As do most of my ancestors, unfortunately. :-) I found this entry (see attached) in the Canton Overseers of the Poor journal, which really doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know, but it’s kind of cool to see a contemporary mention of these people. Plus it compounds that strange reconstructed record from the Woodstock town books about Darius’s family: Charles was the son of Almon, who was the son of Darius.
 
I couldn’t find any follow-up entry to this record, so I’m assuming the Overseers weren’t able to get an answer to their question. Basically they were trying to establish a legal settlement for Charles Andrews through his father, Almon. Not finding a legal settlement for Almon, they moved up a generation to [Charles’s] grandfather, Darius. Apparently the town of Paris was a candidate, as Sumner/Franklin Plantation apparently had provided for Charles and Della Andrew’s welfare and was trying to get reimbursed from the town where they had their legal settlement.”
