Biography

The given name of the 1st wife of this John Andrews (died 1690) John Andrews is unknown.

Jacobus identified the source that she was the sister of Ruth Lilly as a record in the in the Journal of John Winthrop.[1] "1667, Ruth Lilly, 19 yrs., Hartford, sister of J. Andrews' wife." [2]

It has been suggested that Ruth was sister of Mary married to John Andrews (1620-1682) However, Ruth Lilly, according to Winthrop would have been born c 1648. That she was a sister to Mary born about 1620 and that they were daughters of Luke Lilly is speculative at best.

The following records exist indicating that Ruth was a daughter of John and Ruth Lilley of Wethersfield. Ruth had a sister Hannah. Is this the sister married to John Andrews? Possibly.

  1. Lilley, Ruth, d. John & Ruth, b. Feb 16, 1647[3][4]
  2. Lilley, Hannah, d. John & Ruth, b. May 18,[3][4] 1650[4]

Jacobus also points out that because of the large spread in ages of the two surviving children of John Andrews, ie. Samuel b. 1669/70 and Mary b. 1681/2, it is possible that Samuel was son of a first wife of John Andrews, ie. "Unknown" Lilly. When, Isaac Cakebread died in 1698 Mary Andrews, about 17 "having some Interest in the Estate," chose Joshua Carter as guardian. The age indicates that this is Mary Andrews, daughter of John. "Since Isaac Cakebread died intestate, it is hard to figure how Mary had an interest in his estate unless Cakebread for a second wife married her mother and hence had some property in his possession to which she was the heir."[1] Samuel was not mentioned, which indicates he was son of a former wife, and that Mary's mother (also Mary) was related to Isaac Cakebread, perhaps as 2nd wife.[1]
