Biography

"Andrew Dye, a Revolutionary soldier from Washington county, Pennsylvania, was born in 1744 and died in Miami county, Ohio, July 5, 1835. His first wife was Sarah Miner, who died probably in Pennsylvania before the removal of the family to Ohio soon after 1800. His second wife was Ann, and both are buried in the cemetery at Pleasant. Hill. Here one may read from the stones that "Andrew Dye died July 5, 1835, aged 91 years," and that "Ann Dye, wife of Andrew, born April 11, 1767, died January 7, 1843."[1]

Birth

Andrew Dye was born in Middlesex County, New Jersey in either 1744, which agrees with his tombstone, or 1748, which based on a record that he was baptized in Christ Church, Shrewsbury, Monmouth County, New Jersey, on January 3, 1749, at his age of seven months.

On the 28th of March 1780, he was recommended as the first lieutenant in the Yohogania Co. militia, but there was no further mention of his position, since by the fall of 1780, Andrew had resettled across the Monongahela on Big Whitely Creek where, where in May 1785, he had warranted to him a tract of land under the title "Sparrows Nest."[2]

Dye-660 and Dye-168 appear to represent the same person because: Both Andrew Dye (Dye-660) and Andrew Dye (Dye-168) are same person. I suggest you to merge them to avoid the duplicates in Wikitree.
