Robert Andrews (1591)
Robert Andrews, came from England, and settled at Ipswich, early in the
year 1635. The Andrews Memorial states: that Capt. Andrews, came from
Norwich, Norfolk Co., England, early in 1635, as owner and master of ship
"Angel Gabriel." Richard Mather, in his narrative of his voyage in the
James says, they came in company part of the way, and that many Godly
people were on board the ship. This Capt. Andrews had a sister Mary, who
was the wife of Robert Burnham. Their 3 boys, John, Thomas and Robert, it
is said, were put in charge of their uncle Andrews, master of the ship
"Angel Gabriel," which was cast away at Tammaquid, in Maine, in a terrible
storm, 15 Aug. 1635, after which loss, Capt. Andrews settled with his 3
nephews at Chebacco, in Massachusetts Bay. For further details consult the
Andrews Memorial. ( I do not believe this is our ancestor but cannot
unravel all of the facts.)MSH
