In the late 1970’s I began researching the ancestry of my father, Warren LeRoy Porter, and discovered that his parents were related through 2 children of William Porter and Hannah Wilcox.  It was my intention to record as many descendants as I could from Latney Day Porter and Amy (Porter) Shadduck.  I had recorded a great deal of information on the descendants of John T. Wilcox, intending to make the Wilcox family a supplement to the PORTER FAMILY HISTORY.  After receiving requests for information on the Porter and Shadduck families from various family members through telephone calls and e-mails, I compiled the following using Family Tree Maker 2005© and have submitted this to Bob Sweeney for inserting on the Sullivan County, PA website.  These are a couple of changes made to the actual report printed out.  “Dr.” John’s ancestral fathers will only be listed below.  The succeeding generations will only go as far as John in the ancestral line but the generation numbers will be consistent.  The last change pertains to state abbreviations in newspaper articles.  I changed all to conform to the postal abbreviations used today.

Notes for Dr. John T. Wilcox:

NOTE ON RESEARCH OF R. J. PORTER and RAYOLA SODERQUIST; ca. 1983:

During her early research, Rayola had discovered that there may have been a reading error of the birth year on the original grave marker for "Dr." John.  During the processing of his pension, of which he received a small amount, the numbers had been reversed.  The family he had resided with after returning from the war, the Stevens', made notarized statements in John's behalf to the Pensioner's Office giving 1765 as the year of birth.  But John stated to the census taker during the 1860 enumeration of Fox Twp., Sullivan Co., PA that he was 104 (1756).  The DAR took the "notarized dates" received by the Pension Office and used it in earlier editions of the DAR LINEAGE BOOKS.  After more in depth research by their staff, as well as queries from contributors, the DAR realized the error, correcting it when they erected the marker on John's grave.  This misinterpretation had caused much difficulty in researching John's parents.  Previous researchers had used the year found on the original grave marker "as fact", and connected John to his brother Eliab's family.  Ironically, Eliab had a child, John, born in 1765 and at the time, there were no further records found pertaining to this second John.  But with the release of the federal census, this John's family has been found in Cayuga Co., NY.

Transcription of letter by Dr. John Wilcox during the application for his pension (National Archives):

State of New York: Albany County.

On this twenty-third day of November, 1835, personally appeared in open court before the Justice Court of the city of Albany, the same being a court of records, now sitting, John Wilcox, of the town of Coeymans, in said county, age 79 years, who being first duly sworn, according to law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefits of the Act of Congress passed June 7, 1832.

I entered the service of the United States under the following named officers.  I served, as hereinafter stated.  In the year 1776, I resided at New Lebanon, then Albany County, now Columbia County, in the month of June of that year.  I was called into the service as a private, in the company of militia, commanded by Captain Fitch, of Colonel Whiting's Regiment.  In the forepart of the month, as near as I can recollect, we marched from New Lebanon to Greenbush and Albany, and from thence to Fort George, where we were stationed, from thence to Fort Edward, and from thence to Half Way Brook, and back to Fort Edward, then to a place called Snootskill, a little below Fort Edward, and then to another little station, lower down, called Mosey's Creek, and from thence to Saratoga.  I served with said company under Colonel Fitch, Lieutenant John Gillette, at several places last mentioned from June until the month of October following, when we were discharged and returned home.  I think we returned home about the fifteenth or twentieth of October, after having served as a private in said company, said tour, not less than four months and a half.  General Skuyler commanded the army, in the period above referred to.

The second time, in the year 1777, being the year that Burgoyne was taken, I am again called into the service, in a company commanded by Captain Bebee and Lieutenant Munsey, in Colonel Baldwin's Regiment and militia.  I then resided in Stevenstown, then Albany, now Rensaleer County, being then at work there, but my home was as I considered, at New Lebanon, in the family of Gideon Stevens Esq.  It was in the Fall of the year when I was called into the service, at the last above stated.  But I do not recollect the month.  I went with my company to Saratoga, and was stationed part of the time at, and in the neighborhood of Beemis Heights.  I was with the American army at the time of the surrender of Burgoyne.  Whilst we were there, we had an engagement with a party of Indians and Tories not far from a place called Snootskill.  In that engagement, Lieutenant Munsey was mortally wounded by a ball which entered his body just above his hips.  I saw him fall, and helped carry him off the ground.  He died a few hours afterward.  I also recollect a private in our company named Reuben King, who lost his arm in the same action, on this same day, also one Jarvis belonging to our company, who had lost his eye, shot out in the same action.  I do not know whether said King and Jarvis are now living or not.  I received two wounds in the same action, one wound a little above my left knee, and one in the back part of my head, both from musket balls, the scars of which wounds are now both visible.  We did not return home from this town until after the taking of Burgoyne.  I am not able to state the certainty of the length of time I was engaged in this last mentioned town, but I believe it was not less than two months, as a private in said Bebee's Company.

Third, in the year that Cobleskille was burned, the year that I do not remember, I was again called into service as a private, in the company of militia belonging to the town of Stevenstown where I was at that time, working.  I have forgotten the names of the officers, and of the company, but I remember we marched to Albany; then joined several companies and militia.  Do not recollect the name of our commanding officer, but I well remember we marched to Schoharie, and we were stationed at the Stone Church, which was then called a fort.  We arrived there after Cobleskille was set on fire, and whilst it was yet burning, we were engaged in scouting parties between the Indians, and protecting the inhabitants.  Whilst I was stationed at said Stone Church, one Captain Murphy who was an active Partisan officer, returned to that place from an expedition against a party of Indians who had taken a number of prisoners, and were carrying them off when they were rescued and brought back by said Murphy and his men.  I was engaged in this town as a private not less than three weeks.

The fourth time, in the year following the capture of Burgoyne, I was engaged in a tour of duty as private, in the company of militia, belonging to Pittstown, then in Albany, now Renseler County.  I think it was in the Fall, but I cannot state the month, but we were now to go and march to Fort Edward, and kept Garrison there about three weeks, and were then discharged.  I do not recollect the names of the officers of my company, but I remember there were several companies from Vermont.

WILCOX FAMILY HERITAGE; by Ruth Ross Leaycraft (1984) (descendant of Charles, son of John D. and grandson of John T. Wilcox.)

John D. Wilcox was a brother to Hannah Wilcox, and a son of Dr. John Wilcox.  The story goes that the first account of Wilcox that definitely ties in with our family is John T., whom we call Dr. John.  His affidavit on file for his Revolutionary pension can be found in the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

John T. Wilcox was born October 4, 1756, in Dover, Dutchess County, New York.  Today there is only a town called Dover Plains in Dutchess County.  It is located southeast of Albany, on the Connecticut border.  Between 1773 and 1779, he made his home with Gideon Stevens, in New Lebanon, Albany County, which is now Columbia County, and during this period, worked in Stevens Town.  When the colonies rebelled against England, he was true to the causes of this new land, and helped fight for its independence.  During the war he served four enlistments, and was present at the surrender of Burgoyne.  His first call into service was in the year 1776.  In June of that year he was mustered into the militia as a private in a company commanded by Captain Fitch, in Colonel Whitings Regiment.  As near as he could recollect, they marched from New Lebanon to Fort George, where they were stationed for a spell.  (His company then marched) on to Fort Edward, stopping off for a short time in Snootkill, in Mosey's Creek.  In October of that year he was discharged and returned home.

In 1777, he enlisted the second time while living in the home of Gideon Stevens, and working in Stevens Town.  This time in the company commanded by Captain Jose Bebee, Lieutenant Munsey, in Colonel Baldwin's Regiment.  This was the Fall of the year, and he was with the American army at the time of the surrender of Burgoyne.  It was at this time that his company had a skirmish with (Joseph Brant's nefarious gang) of Indians and Tories, not far from Snootkill.  John's commanding officer, Lt. Munsey was mortally wounded, and died a few hours later.  His company retreated, and in the  tumult and smoke, John lagged behind, firing until he had only one charge left, and that in his gun.  As he started to overtake his comrades, three Indians jumped from behind some logs.  He shot one, but the other two shot him, wounding him above the knee and in the head.  He was able to reach his company in spite of his wounds.  Two of the Indians were shot down, one only a gun rod's length behind him.  He had the scars from these wounds throughout his life.  He remembered a Reuben King losing his arm in the same action that day.  He never entirely recovered from the leg wound, thus being entitled to a pension.  On that same expedition he helped care for the wounded, being as he said "from a family of natural doctors".  It may have been when John returned after the Battle of Saratoga that he told the Stevens family about taking care of the sick or wounded comrades.  In later years he was generally known as "Dr. John" and was often called upon in all illnesses and accidents. 

John's third call into service was in the year that Cobleskill was burned.  At this time they marched to Schoharie, and were stationed at the Stone Church, which is now a museum, then called a fort.  They were engaged in scouting parties, watching the Indians, and protecting the inhabitants of the burning town.

The fourth and final time that John recalls his service in the Revolutionary War, was the year following Burgoyne's capture, this time from Pittstown, and they marched to Fort Edward, and kept Garrison there for three weeks, and was then discharged. 

In 1779, he married Deborah Day, and they became the parents of ten children.  The first U.S. Census of 1790 lists him as living in Stevenstown, Albany Co., NY, with his wife, two sons, Nathan and Samuel, and two daughters, Amy and Hannah.  We cannot find them in the 1800 Census, because during this period of time, he must have moved about.  He lived in Petersburg, Rensselaer, as well as Stephenstown, and New Lebanon.  About 1805, he was living in Middleburgh, and according to his statement, his house burned, and he lost the family Bible, including all other records he may have had.  So years later when he applied for his pension, he had to rely on his own memory, and that of his friends.  The 1810 census for the town of Broome, in Schoharie Co., NY, states John Wilcox and wife, over forty-five, three sons under twenty-six, three daughters between ten and fifteen, and one daughter under ten.  Evidently, some of the children had either moved away or had died.  The 1820 Census lists him as over forty-five, engaged in agriculture, living in the Elkland Township, Lycoming Co., PA.  Sullivan County was a part of Lycoming County at this time.  Here his name appears frequently in land records, first in 1831, buying one hundred acres from the estate of William Calwagger for one dollar.  In 1833, he sold some property to John Ellis, and in 1841, he sold land to his own son, John D.  The 1830 Census stated that he is over seventy, but under eighty, still living in Elkland Township.  On June 7, 1832, Congress passed an Act allowing veterans from the Revolutionary War a pension, and John, now 79 years of age, applies for one.  It is during this time that he visited Nathan and Archibald Stevens, sons of Gideon, in Coeymans, NY, where Nathan was a postmaster.  They were young boys at the time of the war, and they now came to offer help in applying for his pension, since he cannot find his discharge papers, if he ever had them.  Archibald signs affidavits describing service during the war.  Archibald recalls his mother caring for John in times between enlistments when John was sick.  He recalls an Asa King, father of Reuben, who had lost his arm, stopping by at his father's house, to inquire about the health of said John.  Asa owned a store and wanted Wilcox to take anything he needed, since Wilcox had been a good soldier and fought well.  But after writing several letters, John did not follow up his application, so he never did receive his full pension.  The 1840 Census shows him the only eighty to ninety year old living in Elkland.  The 1850 federal census for Shunk lists him as "doctor".  (His medical kit was possessed by one of Charles Wilcox' children for many years and is now in the Sullivan County Historical Society museum.)   Soon after the death of his wife, he moved to Sullivan Co., PA following his son John, who had procured many large tracts of virgin forests.  "Dr." John also accumulated a substantial amount of land and his name appears frequently in the land records of Fox Township (then part of Lycoming, the records located at Williamsport) and of Bradford County.   In the Spring of 1860, while living with his son, John D., he died at the age of 104.  It's said he built his own coffin for his death, had the undertaker store it, and made all arrangements for his own funeral.  He is buried in the Porter Cemetery of Fox Twp., Sullivan Co., PA, where his grave is marked by a marble block and a bronze plaque, showing his Revolutionary War service.  There is no marking of the location of this cemetery on township maps.  It is about two miles, on the right hand side of the middle road, going out of Shunk.  It cannot be seen from the road, as it is in a field beyond a wooded area on property once owned by Harold Moody.

John spent most of his early years in and around Schoharie County.  The skirmish, known as the Battle of Cobleskill, which John participated in, is briefly described in A HISTORY OF SCHOHARIE COUNTY; Marion F. Noyes, ed. (c. 1964), pg. 22:

"At the outbreak of the Revolution there were about 20 families living on the Cobleskill Flats, one being George Warner for whom Warnerville is named.  In the latter part of May 1778, while the Schoharie forts were still under construction, scouts discovered signs of Indians on West Creek.  Capt. Christian Brown sent word to Middleburgh and Capt. Samuel Patrick was sent with a company of 30 to 40 "regulars".  Brown and Patrick, with their combined force of less than 60 men, moved on to the Warner home where they discovered Indians skulking about.  Although Brown feared an ambush, Patrick gave the order to follow the Indians.  Near the Cobleskill Creek the number of Indians increased and the enemy began to fire from behind trees.  Several men were lost including Patrick.  The settlers, hearing the shots, hid in the woods or fled to Schoharie.  Brown ordered a retreat.  As they passed the Warner house five men stayed to hold back the Indians and give the others a chance to escape.  When the Indians could not drive them back, they set fire to the house.  Three men died in the burning building.  The other two tried to escape.  One was shot and the other was captured and killed.  That day the Americans' total loss was 22 killed, 9 wounded and 2 taken prisoners.  The Warner house was the first one in the Schoharie Settlements to be burned by the Indians, but 20 other buildings including 10 houses were burned that same day.  The destruction of Cobleskill caused General Washington to increase the defense of the settlements.  The 4th Pennsylvania Regiment and four companies of Morgan's sharp shooters were sent to Schoharie.  One of these companies was commanded by Lt. Thomas Boyd and to it belonged two of the most famous foot soldiers of the Revolution, Timothy Murphy and David Eelerson."

New York SUNDAY NEWS; 10 Nov 1957 ed., pg. 48; "Meet the Family"

The following article was headed by a photograph showing 130 attendants at the first annual Wilcox family reunion of 1897.  The group was posed around the chimney of the old Wilcox homestead in Shunk.  Photos taken at the 1957 gathering identified Sarah Bedford, age 91 and Charles Kunzmann, 82, as the oldest members, who had also attended the first reunion in 1897.  Another picture showed Nancy Kelly of Elmira, NY (age about 10), giving the signal to "attack the feedbag".  She was wearing a T-shirt which read "Wilcox Camp - Shunk, Pa".

"When the descendants of Dr. John R. Wilcox get together for a reunion, it's not just a get-together.  It's a convention.  The clan numbers more than 200 and is scattered all over the country, but when meeting time rolls around, most members make it to the historic family site at Shunk, Pa.  This year the 60th annual reunion was held Friday August 30, but as usual, many of the pilgrims arrived the previous Monday.  Headquarters was a two-story cinder block cabin which stands near the site of the original Wilcox home, built in Revolutionary times.  Some of the folks slept in the cabin but the hardier souls pitched tents and made their beds of straw.  Despite the size of the gathering, there was little confusion.  Everyone had a job to do and did it.  The mothers prepared the chow, the girls washed the dishes, the boys got water and the men cut firewood.  At week's end, it was a tired but satisfied crew that headed home.  They had recorded all the births, marriages and deaths in the previous year and exchanged enough family gossip to afford topics of conversation till the next years reunion."

Today the descendants of "Dr." John T. Wilcox who trace their ancestry to Fox Township and the surrounding area of Sullivan County, number in the thousands.  Few are still living in the home county, the others having scattered throughout the U.S.  Every year since 1898, members of the clan gather for an annual reunion of the Wilcox Association, at the Wilcox Grove near Shunk, PA, on the last Friday in August.  Recent reunions have had descendants numbering 100-200 strong, coming from FL, OH, MD, VA, UT and nearby NY to join their relatives from Sullivan County, PA.

Notes for John Day Wilcox:

During the War of 1812, John D. served as a private from 07 Sep to 10 Dec 1814, enlisting from Dutchess County, NY where his father was born, and undoubtedly still had relatives.  According to the INDEX OF AWARDS OF CLAIMS OF THE SOLDIERS OF THE WAR OF 1812, he "received a monthly pension of $55.00, his pension file being #15,095, his address listed as Fox".  John came to Fox about 1823 and in 1832 bid in at a tax sale for $17.30 for 407 acres of virgin forest.  This land became the family homestead for generations, a small part of which, known as "Wilcox Grove", now belongs to the Wilcox Family Association.  John built "Thunder Castle", a 3-story house of cherry logs on his property.  From its size and from John's hospitable character, this was known as "the log hotel", though it was not run as a tavern, but had an open-door policy for travelers, friend or stranger.  The stone chimney had five fireplaces opening into it.  The Castle had entrances at three levels with large doors through which logs for firewood could be rolled.  This plan was unique.  It secured a double benefit in that the great quantity of wood needed could be burned in clearing the land and the ashes were used in making fertilizer and soap.  Today there are traces of its foundation hole a short distance south of the present Wilcox Association Cottage.  A great hunter, he supplied his family with deer and bear meat, killing wolves and tanning hides for his own and neighbors' use.  Skilled in woodworking, he built his home and the needed furniture, pieces of which became heirlooms.  Besides being a large landowner, John served as coroner of Sullivan County in 1847 and 1848.  He helped survey the county line and served on one of the committees to locate the county seat, casting his vote for Forksville, but submitted to the decision of the majority.  A man of great size, with no surplus flesh, he weighed 300 pounds, using his great strength at home and barn razes, and for promoting peace.  On one occasion he took 2 neighbors, engaged in a rough and tumble fight, by their collars and held them in mid-air until they promised to forget their quarrel.  He died at the home of his daughter, Sarah (Wilcox) Kunzmann.

Harry M. Greene's HISTORIC HODGE-PODGE:

At sixteen, Amy (Porter) had married a neighbor in the town of Broome, Evert Shadduck, a grandson of Thomas Shadduck Sr., who was a well-known scout and sergent of militia in the Mohawk Valley during the Revolution.  Five children had already been born to them in 1834 when they followed their cousins to Fox.  In contrast to Schoharie, which had been settled before and right after the Revolution, and was therefore considered old and established, Amy thought the roads of what was to be Sullivan County were "the worst roads I had ever seen," and the whole housekeeping primitive.  Her descendants still point out her spring, and the rock where she built her fire.  She was not, however, the only settler that had to scare away the bears from her cabin, and who, for a time, did all of her cooking out of doors.  Of the thirteen children of the Shadducks, only two died in childhood.  Most of the others left children to carry on the family.  Louis, the oldest, married Amanda Malvina Dickerson.  Anne Maria married Henry Williams, Marriet married Harry Dawson Dickerson.  Hannah Lucinda married Warren Wright.  Margaret Evelyn married James Letts, and after his death, Sanford Fanning.  Emily married Ralph Wheeler.  Julia married Simeon Wheeler.  Madison Taylor married Marilda Riggs.  Chloe Vicilla married Elon Galusha II.  Albert Frank married Emma White.  Andrew Lee and Madison Taylor were soldiers in the Civil War.  Andrew Lee drowned in the Potomac when the transport he was on collided with another vessel, and several of the men were thrown into the river."

The following, obtained from Paul W. Kaseman, was written in LeRoy, Bradford Co., PA about 1934.  The story was mentioned in the Shadduck-Dickerson Reunion Logbook.

GRANDFATHER & GRANDMOTHER SHADDUCK, as remembered by Eudora S. Gilbert (circa 1933):

My grandfather Shadduck was of Dutch blood and grandmother was a Porter.  They lived near Binghamton, NY in the early days of their marriage.  They came to northern Pennsylvania and stopped near East Canton for several days.  Grandmother remained there while Grandfather went over the mountain to Fox, as it was then called.  Grandfather was the first to drive a wagon over that way.  Grandmother followed later on horseback, one baby in front and one in back.  There were a few settlers at Fox, who had come in by way of Hillsgrove and Elkland, and made the Shadducks welcome.  My grandmother told me that she had planted apple seeds around in the fields.  Grandmother visited her brother, Latney, who lived about 3 miles away and as she was in dire need of a table, had carried one home with her--strapped on her back.  She wove linen and wool in order to make the necessary garments for the family.  Grandfather died of heart trouble 57 years ago this May, I believe.  Grandmother lived to be nearly ninety-eight years of age and was loved and respected by all who knew her.  Three of her sons were in the service of the country during the Civil War, all on the Northern side.

Dear Ronald; Your Home Page on Family Tree Maker is of great interest to me.  I am also descended from Amy Porter, wife of Evert Shadduck & from Evert.  They are my 3rd great grandparents. See above.  Amy's brother, Latney Day Porter, known in my 2nd great grandfather Lewis H. Shaddick's Civil War letters, as Uncle Latney visited Lewis in Union Army camps.  He was a kind man to do that for his sister to be certain her boys were okay.  Lewis died of malaria in a Confederate hospital in Norfolk, VA.  Cousin, Linda Mutzer. Please write or e-mail me at treekeeper@verizonmail.com.   over --

This summer at the Sullivan Co., Historical Society I copied a document called Fox Township Pioneers "Porter, Shaddock, and Wilcox Families" by Dorothy Cleaveland Salisbury.  This includes a letter from Elon Galusha Salisbury written 10/14/1947 from Takoma Park, Washington D.C.  If you are interested I could send you copies of these papers.  Let me know."

Notes for Andrew Lee Shadduck:

Andrew, sometimes referred to as "Andrus", enlisted into the service on 29 Feb 1864 at Troy, PA (Wells Twp., Bradford Co.) for a period of 3 years.  He stated that he was born in Sullivan Co., PA and was age 19 years, seven months.  He was mustered into service on 1 Mar 1864, when his eyes are described as "black" and Wells Twp. was in "Cambria County", PA.  After a short furlough home, Andrew returned to his station at Camp Parole, MD.  In a message coming from the War Department's Adjuctant General's office in Washington, dated 5 Oct 1875 "Andrew L. Shaddick Co. K 11th Regt. Pa. Cav. was captured at Darbytown Road, VA Dec 10, 1864; paroled at Aikens Landing, VA Feb 15, 1865; arrived at Camp Parole Feb 18, 1865; exchanged March 25, 1865; was sent to Soldiers' Rest, Alexandria, VA where he arrived April 22, 1865 and sent to Regiment April 25, 1865.  He was drowned by the foundering of the transport on which he sailed, on or about April 25th, 1865.".  According to some statements made by Shadduck descendants, Andrew attempted to jump from one boat to another, but because of the rough waters and the darkness of night, he was unable to obtain a hold on the boat he attempted to jump on and was crushed between the two.  His brother, Madison, also a member of the cavalry regiment, walked the banks of the Potomac in an unavailing search for his brother's body.

"The Shadduck Brothers in the Civil War": (pt. 2) (cont. from Lewis H. Shadduck page)

A little over a year after Lewis Shadduck's death (3 Jan 1863), on February 29, 1864, his younger brothers, Andrew Lee, called "Lee" in the family, and Madison Taylor, likewise called by his middle name, walked to Troy, where they enlisted and were mustered in on March 1, and sent to the Carlisle Barracks where they elected to join the Cavalry, and were enrolled in Company K 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry.  They were paid a bounty of sixty dollars each.  From Carlisle, they went to Williamsburg, Virginia to join the regiment in the Army of the Potomac.

In April, the boys' regiment was moved to Portsmouth, Virginia.  In May and June, they were in the field, but their first fight with the enemy was not until June 25, at Reams Station.  Here, 6000 cavalry under General Kautz, had been sent to destroy the Petersburg Welden Railway, which was bringing supplies to the Confederates.  The Union forces were repulsed as they tried to cross the railroad bridge.  At this encounter, Madison became separated from his mates, and it was reported at roll call, "Missing In Action".  On June 2O, he rejoined his company, at Jones Landing.  At the time of the July-August muster, Andrew Lee was in Balfour General Hospital, at Portsmouth, Virginia.  In September, he was given a twenty-day furlough to go home to Fox with his transportation, to Canton, Pennsylvania, for $5.48 round trip, paid.  He was back in camp for the September-October muster.  In November, the Regiment was in the field working its way through the Shenandoah Valley, where the Confederates were active.  On December 10, at the Darby Town Road, near New Market Heights, Andrew was taken prisoner by the enemy, and was consequently reported missing in action, December 12, at Morning Muster.  On February 15, 1865, he was paroled at Aitkins Landing, Virginia, and sent to Camp Parole, Maryland, where he arrived on February 18th.  He was again given a furlough to go to Fox from March 4 to April 3, with transportation furnished to go to Canton, Pennsylvania and return of $5.48.  While still on furlough he was exchanged, and after his return to Camp Parole, he was sent to Soldier's Rest, in Alexandria, Virginia, where he arrived on April 22th.  The next day he was ordered to rejoin his regiment, and embark on a transport on the Potomac.  On or about April 25, he was drowned by the foundering of a transport in its collision of another vessel.  On one of his two furloughs, Andrew stopped in Canton to have his picture taken in his uniform.  Andrew was described in his enlistment as 19 years old, blue eyes, brown hair, fair complexion, and 5'7" tall.  By occupation he was a farmer.  (conc. under Madison T. Shattuck data)
