Notes:

Andrew's date and place of birth is unknown, he appears on the Dedham "Towne Booke," among the subscribers to the "Covenant," as Andr: Duein." The name is also variously spelled, in records of the town, as Duing, Duinge, Dewin, Duin, Duen, Deuin, and Duinge. The date of his signing the Covenant does not appear. It is thought he settled in the part of Dedham that, in 1711, was set off as Needham. His name appears in Whitman's History of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company (2d ed., p. 143) as a member, in 1644, from Natick; but probably he resided nearer that place than the settlement at Dedham, and perhaps on what was afterward known as the Ridge Hill farm in Wellesley, part if not all of which was owned by the Dewing descendants until 1811/ He was received into the First Church in Dedham, 19 d. 2 m. 1646; and was made freeman, May 16, 1646. He was one of the surveyors in 1651; constable in 1664; and served the town on some important committees, and in minor offices. On 14 d. 10 m. 1664, "A bill is ordered to be given to Andr. Duen to receaue [receive] of the Constable 20 lb for killing 2 woolues in the Towne." His will, dated Sept. 8, and probated Oct. 30, 1677, is in the Suffolk Co. Probate Records, vol. 6, p. 207. His first wife, Lydia ____, died 13 d. 8 m. 1651; and he married second, 10 d. 9 m. 1652, Ann Donstall. He died Sept. 16, 1677. His Will was probated Oct. 30, 1677 and recorded at Suffolk Co.
