Biography

Andrew is clearly related to the Rodner/Kingsbury family of Cheselbourne (1600s-1800s), the Rodner/Kingsburie family of Buckland Newton (1580s) and the Rodney/Kingsbury family of Powerstock/Bridport.

An Andrew Kingsbury is mentioned in the will of Joseph Kingsbury (died 1685) as his brother. The will of Walter Kingsbury (died 1732) also refers to a cousin Andrew Kingsbury -but this is probably not this Andrew as he had died in 1728.

I have deciphered most of the text from Andrew's own will as follows:

"First I bequeath my soul (?) into the hands of almighty God my maker hoping that offering Moritorious Death Passion of Jesus Christ my only saviour...(?)... for giveness for my sins, and for my body to be buried in Christian burial at the direction (?) of my (??) nominated.

I give unto to my son Andrew, (and) John the little living (place) that I live in.

"And I give unto my son Robert Kingsbury, my son Thomas Kingsbury, my daughter Elizabeth Kingsbury, my daughter Mary Kingsbury the sum of 20 Shillings each one to be paid by my executor; my goods whatever give unto my wife upon condition it should shall pay all my debts"
