He was an old man when he came, and had a family of children who had grown to maturity, and who settled in the same locality. Mr. Gandy had been twice, married. By his first marriage he had six children, four daughters and two sons -Abijah and George. By the second marriage he had three sons, Harris, Shepherd and John.
