Biography
"of Sharon" in 1800, thence to Paris, & "No. 2" Maine
Darius Andrews of Taunton married Keziah Caswell on 24 Dec 1793 in Middleborough, Massachusetts, USA. [1]
Research
Darius died after 1793, because that's the year he got married. He was born during or before 1779, because that's the year his father Josiah died of smallpox (April 1778). SOME source (yet to be identified) said he was "of Sharon" (Mass.) in 1800, after which he moved to Paris (Maine), and then to "No. 2" (Maine).

Marriage record (transcribed) states Ebenezer Andrews Ju. and Sarah Elliot were joined in marriage in Taunton by James Williams, J.P. 1770 June 26.
This family listed in a court record (Plymouth Court Records, 1686-1859 v. 3, pg 275) from NEHGS:
“Warrants to Warn Persons from Hanover “…Constable Israel Perry received warrant from selectmen Nathaniel Sylvester, Lemuel Curtis, and Joseph Cushing to warn Samuel Clay, “who came last from Boston in September last,” Samuel Bates, his wife Mercy and their children Mercy, Lemuel, and Eunice, “who came last from Pembroke in April last,” Ebenezer Andrews, his wife Faith and Ebenezer Andrews, Jr., and his wife Sarah and their children Darius, Joshua, and Seth, “who came last from the town of Taunton....April last,” Sarah Waterman and her children James and Calvin, “who came last from Scituate or Halifax...about August last,” Calvin Curtis and his apprentice Benjamin Collamer, “who came last from Scituate in August last or much about the time and reside in the house that was Gideon Stetson’s,” Nehemiah Palmer, his wife Abigail and their children Marlborough and Elijah, “who came last from Scituate in January last and Reside in the house which belongs to Lemuel Curtis,” John Chapman, his wife Ruth and their children Ruth, John, and Sarah, “who came last from Pembroke in March last,” to depart. Perry reported he warned all of the above persons to depart, “except Jacob Gurney and Elizabeth his wife who I did not see nor warn out,” 1 July 1773.

Although his parentage is not confirmed, this Darius Andrews profile is rightly the spouse of Keziah Caswell, and father of Philena (Andrews) Reading.
Is this the correct family in which to add Peres? (As in your link https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~megen/genealogy/andrmain.html ) Was Peres the brother of Philena?
Or is there yet another Darius Andrews to research?
Cheers, Josephine
Do note that there were two Peres/Perez Andrewses in the area (one in Sumner, Darius's son, and one in Minot/Auburn/Buckfield, whose lineage is more unclear).
But don't hesitate to write back with questions. I'm a direct descendant of Darius through Peres and Thomas Jefferson "Jeff" Andrews and have been working on this family for quite a while. I'm happy to have the line better established.
Best wishes!

I will also remove myself as manager and from the trusted list so that you have free rein to correct this famiy line.

b. I will check for the source whenever I get around to finishing the protracted move in the middle of which I am currently. c. So, you're not sure he IS the bro. of Hannah, Otis, etc?

I have not found information that Darius is the son of Josiah Andrews and Mary Padelford. Did either parent have a previous marriage? Is there another Josiah Andrews of the same era? (I saw a possibility of Josiah Andrews having married Marcy Elliott (daughter of Marcy Elliott) who was his mother in law's executor.
