Andreas Family in America (This is para-phrased a lot!) As Compiled by: Lori Ann Wolfe

Martin Andreas: b. circa 1725, met Abraham and Anna Elisabeth Vautrin (Wotring), father and daughter, on ship sailing for America. m. circa 1750 in America. (Abraham Vautrin, the 3 branches of the tree that I have been able to find originated in the Alsace/Lorraine area of France/Germany. Two brothers, Abraham and Hans "Samuel" and their first cousin, John Daniel came to America in the 1730's. The name was changed for a variety of reasons and has several different spellings; Vautrin, Wudringer, Wuttering, Woodring, Wotring, Watring, and lots of others. Paulus Vautrin was born abt. 1570 in Pfalz Palatinate, Germany. Most of the Woodrings I have found can eventually be traced back to him.)
