Biography

Andrew York was born between 1810 and 1815 (probably 1812), likely in New York. He was the son of Petrus "Peter" York and Esther Simmons.

He married his wife Catharine at some point. Together they had the following children:

1. Abram/Abraham York
2. Benjamin F. York
3. Andrew York
4. Lewis L. York
5. James A. York
6. Mary E. (York) Wolcott
7. Jane (York) Woodruff
8. Rosella York

In 1850, he lived with his wife, and his sons Abram and Benjamin in Pike, Bradford, Pennsylvania, USA.^[1] Ten years ended up bringing he and his wife an onslaught of new children, as they then had Andrew, James, Lewis, Mary, Jane, and Rosella living with them.^[2] Though another decade failed to bring more children to Andrew and his wife, Abraham had at least moved out of their presumably packed house in Tuscacora Township, Bradford County.^[3]

1880 brought Andrew needing to reconnect with his children; at some point between this census and the last, his wife had passed away, and so Andrew moved in with his eldest son Abraham back in Pike.^[4]

Andrew passed away May 9, 1900 and was buried three days later in Bradford County Alms Cemetery in West Burlington, Bradford, PA.^[5][6]

Confusion

This is not Andrew Van Leuven Yorks who lived in Ulster County and was born around the same time as Andrew Jackson York.
