Disputed Parents

There are online family trees with the claim that William Andrew was the son of Thomas Andrews and Mary Heneage. This appears to be false, as the 1618 Northamptonshire Visitation doesn't list a son William for this couple.

Birth Estimate: Based on the date of his daughter, Anna, possibly being born in 1594, marrying William Pynchon and having a family, (1618-1624) an estimate of William being born about 1574 is reasonable. He could have also been born earlier.

NOTE

Roxbury was in the county of Suffolk for most of its existence. In 1794 it was in the county of Norfolk but was put back into Suffolk later. Suffolk has been dissolved as a county but for the purposes of the time frame this profile, Suffolk would be the correct designation.
