    • John was of Norwich, Norfolk County, England, and a weaver by trade. He emigrated to Watertown, Massachusetts in the year 1637, bringing with him his wife Elizabeth and four children, "John, Barbre, Elizabeth and Judeth." He came to America in either the "John and Dorethy" of Norwich, or the "Rose" of Yarmouth. William Andrews, Sr., was master of the former vessel and his son of the latter. Some of his children must have come to this country before John and the above named were probably the four youngest of the family. John was born about 1588 and died August 19, 1661. In 1636 the age of his wife was given as 36, but must have been near that of her husband as she died March 12, 1666-7, "aged about 79." All of their children were born in England.
