Andrew(es), Thomas (d. 1609) of Longdon Travers and Ilmington (Warks). Eldest son of Sir Thomas Andrew (d. 1564) of Charwelton and his second wife, Mary, daughter of John Heneage of Towse and widow of Erasmus Cope. He was probably a recusant, and his wife was imprisoned (perhaps some form of house arrest) for recusancy after his death, although she had licence to travel to Bath and Shropshire in 1615, 1616 and 1618. He married Jane (fl. 1618), probably the daughter of Henry Cassey of Wightfield Manor, Deerhurst (Glos) and had issue, possibly among others:
