At Sea
One record indicates that Andrew was born 'at sea' which implies
that he was born on the crossing from Ireland. Other records
state that he was born in Ohio. He was probably born on June 11,
1800. In any case, by 1821 he was in Guernsey County, Ohio where
he married Nancy Mary Williams on October 23rd. There is some
evidence that by 1830, they were living in Jackson Township in
Licking County, Ohio, based on an 1830 census and the fact that
their 7th child claims to have been born there. Their 8th child
was born in Jay County, Indiana, which borders on the west central side of Ohio.
Andrew died in Jay County at the age of 37 on May 3, 1838.
Their 9th child was born in Jay County after Andrew died.

Nancy Remarries
The 1840 census places Nancy in Washington Township in Guernsey
County, Ohio, two counties east of Licking County. It was there
in Guernsey County that the young widow married John Reed on
December 23, 1841. John and Nancy had 3 more children all born in
Guernsey County.
Based on the Federal census taken on August 1, 1850 in Jackson Township,
Allen County, Ohio,
Nancy is living there as a widow with some of her children from both marriages,
thus it is assumed that John died before that date.
The exact date nor place of his death are not known.
John's death is confirmed when his Will was probated in Allen County, Ohio on October 29, 1850.
The 1860 census shows Nancy still in Allen County with her 3 children from her second marriage. She must have moved to Iowa shortly there after to where her daughter, Elizabeth, was living. Nancy's, son, Jesee, died in Cedar County, Iowa on November 1, 1961. By 1870, Nancy is living in Wapsnonoc Township in Muscatine County, Iowa with her married daughter from her second marriage, Martha. Nancy died on March 20, 1880, in Tipton, Cedar County, Iowa and is buried in the Rochester Cemetery, where her teenage son, Jesse, is also buried. |
