FatherSalmon Salamon Solomon Andrews (~1804->1870)
Misc. Notes
Listed in Franklin Plantation 1860 USC as 25 yrs. old and a day laborer.

Listed as “Almond Q” or “2nd” from Franklin Plantation on Civil War Draft Registration (Ancestry.com).

1870 USC for Paris, ME lists the following household:
Andrews, Silence 51
Wing, Alphonso D 10
Wing, Flora A 12
Andrews, Almon 34

One familysearch.com record shows Almon Andrews m. Salena Wing 21 Apr 1865 Woodstock, ME. Date is wrong, but this must be his marriage to Silence K. Hopkins Wing.

This one-sided record shows a Tripp m. a son of Salomon and Clarissa (Redding/Reading) Andrews in 1898. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-10049-104869-9?cc=1803978&wc=MMBF-7CZ:n1057518063

Is this erroneous? 1900 USC for Poland, ME shows Almon M Andrews with wife Mary, daughter Ada E and mother-in-law Debra B Tripp!

This record shows Mary A. Andrews’ death cert. where she is listed as the widow of Melvin Andrews:

Note: there are several Almon Andrewses -- make sure to keep them straight (I’m not sure I have).

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…
