Biography

Sarah Andrews, daughter of John Andrews (aft.1622-1662), was born about 1648, but this date is uncertain; the will of her grandfather, Robert Andrews, states that her father, John was a minor (but granted his estate so probably 19 or 20) in his 1643 will, thus John was unlikely to be a father until a few years later, so Sarah was likely born sometime between 1645 and 1655. ^[1]

7 March 2021 GED import and FAG are INCORRECT!! Sarah Andrews married Robert Canon, NOT Exercise Conant; see Sarah (Unknown) Conant (1645-1718).
