One

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…
