"ANDREWS, Alexander, was born in this county about 1759, and took an active part 
in the Revolution.  He afterward settled down on the east bank of the Octorara, 
where he died in 1816.  Andrews' bridge, over that stream was named for him.
  Arthur Andrews, of Oxford township, married, prior to 1785, Anness, daughter 
of James Cooper, and was an active citizen of that neighborhood.
  John Andrews married Jane Cooper, daughter of James and became the owner of 
300 acres in Oxford which had belonged to his father-in-law."
