Notes for James ANDRE

He was perhaps the son or grandson of
John Andre [1777-1842] who is buried in the Sugarcreek Memorial cemetery.
Regarding John Andre, James's father http://west-penn-families.com/f5871.htm#f15077 [accessed 3/9/12]:
He was brought to Mifflin county, PA, by his parents. At the age of 21 years he learned the carpenter trade. His father's family, all except himself, moved to Ohio, and located on the banks of the Little Miami river, near its mouth. He continued at his
trade until September, 1828, when he moved to Venango county, PA, and settled in, then Sugarcreek, but later Canal township, on land he had purchased about 1816. He commenced clearing away the forest and improving his land. Mr. Andre followed farming
as his occupation for a number of years previous to his death. He died in 1847, and his companion in 1865. The farm is now owned by his sons, Wm. and John, and the heirs of James Andre, deceased. On the farm at different points are seen indications of
the early homes of the Red-man.
