Andrew, had a grant of a house-lot containing five acres on Town (North) St., the same as did his brother, George, Sept. 18, 1635. He also had ten acres granted him at "Nutty Hill," and six shares in the common lands. Apr. 6, 1648, he purchased of Aaron Ludkin of Charlestown, a house-lot in Hingham containing five acres with a dwelling and buildings thereon. This lot had previously been granted by the town to George Ludkin, the father of Aaron, and was bounded by George Lane eastward, Nicholas Baker westward, and the town street southward.

He also purchased of said Ludkin, land which had been granted to his father George Ludkin, at Pleasant Hill, at the Great Lots, at Weir River, at Squirrel Hill, at the Plaine Neck, and at Broad Cove. The christian name of his wife was Triphany. She died in Hingham 2 Jan. 1706-7, at about 95 yrs. He died 1 May, 1675. The inventory of his estate taken by Joshua Hobart and Nathaniel Beal, was appraised at £235, 3s., and inc. dw.-house, barn, salt meadow and other lands; 4 oxen, 4 cows, 2 yearlings, 2 calves, etc. " Felt-maker," and " farmer." Resided on North St., next west of the way leading to Squirrel Hill.[3]

Andrew, Hingham 1635, son of William, was called feltmaker, by wife Tryphena had Mary, Abigail, and Andrew, all bapt. in Aug. 1646, John, 30 Jan. 1648, and with this s. I pause to expose many errors. To him is giv. s. Samuel, b. 16 Mar. 1678 by w. Mehitable Hobart. Sorry am I to obs. that in the Geneal. Reg. XIII 91, the statem. that "John, bapt. in Norton, 30 June 1648, m. Mehitable Hobart," labors under such incongru. It says that Andrew and Tryphena had seven childr. when the names of nine are kn. No s. Samuel had he, no Mehitable Hobart can be found for that John to m. and he could not be bapt. at Norton that day, for the town was not begun to be sett. till many yrs. aft. nor could he be bapt. anywhere else in N. E. on 30 June 1648, wh. was not Sunday, but Friday.

Beside those four ch. we find Ephraim, bapt. Feb. 1650; Deborah, 20 June 1652; Joshua, 20 Aug. 1654; Caleb, 17 July 1657; and Hannah, 17 Oct. 1658; and he d. 1 May 1675. His wid. d. 2 June 1707, "a. 95 yrs. of age," says the town rec. All the ds. were m. Abigail m. perhaps, John Low, first, but certain. 27 Dec. 1665, Daniel Stodder, and Deborah m. 30 Dec. 1674, William Sprague; but whether the date of Mary, wh. m. William Orcutt, were earlier or later in m. than her sis. Abigail, is uncert.; and Hannah m. Thomas with a surname utterly illegib. in the orig. and plain. false in the copy of Prob. reg. All the s. and the hs. of the ds. gave, 27 July 1675, to their ms. acquit. of the est. of dec. for her life, wh. has signa. of each, but Orcutt's is by [ ] mark, and the h. of the youngest d. might as well have used a bear's claw to write his.[5]

Notes

Needs Relationship Check. Linked wife reported is Tryphena (Eames) Orcutt (1612-abt.1707), however credible sources dispute both her LNAB (Eames) and her current last name (Orcuss). See 2021 comments to the profile Note: As her LNAB is disputed, her attached parents, Anthony Eames (abt.1595-abt.1686) and Margery Pierce (1592-1662) are also thus disputed. Possible the references to Eames and Orcutt result from confused generational reporting.

(a) History of the town of Hingham ... reports Andrew's son Andrew [Jr.] m. "Elizabeth, dau. of Mark Eames." [2:413]
(b) Same source, entry for Andrew, son of William, has child list at [2:411-412]; reports his dau. Mary m. "William Orcuttl"

Also needs Inline Citations. Paragraphs of text containing numerous claims are closed with a single reference, generally to a secondary source. And needs Research. A lengthy paragraph of text closes with a reference, "Text imported with gencom." Given the number of abbreviations and expanse of the claims, this paragraph has the appearance of cut and paste.
