EDEN ANDREW, farmer, P. O. Ogden, was born
Mar. 1, 1820, in North Carolina; was the son of James and
Elizabeth Andrew, who were among the early settlers of
Clinton County, having settled here in about 1818. They
first settled on the farm at present occupied by William
Hale (near Sligo). After living here a short time,
and on several other farms in the county, he finally located on
a farm about two and a half miles southwest of Ogden, Adams
Township, where he lived until his death, which occurred June 8,
1851. He was the father of nine children, seven of whom
are still living; was a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Eden Andrew, subject of our present
sketch, was reared on a farm until he reached the years of
manhood. His education was somewhat limited. He was
married, Feb. 3, 1842, to Miss Nancy Urton,
daughter of John and Lucy Urton. He is a member of
the Friends’ Society. His political views are Democratic.
His adopted daughter, Amanda Andrew, was married
Dec. 25, 1878, to Mr. Lawrence Winfield, who was born
Oct. 23, 1856, in Clinton County, and son of Joseph and Jane
Winfield. They are the parents of two children, viz.,
Bertha and Loran (deceased). Mr.
Winfield is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
one of the rising young men of Clinton County.

MILES ANDREW, farmer, P. O. Ogden, was born May 31, 1827,
in Clinton County; was the son of James and Elizabeth Andrew,
and brother of Eden Andrew, whose sketch appears in this
work. He was reared on a farm until he reached his

blacksmithing in the village of Sligo; followed this business
about thirty years. In 1870, he bought a farm of ninety
acres of land, located about one half-mile west of Ogden
Village, and on which place he still resides. He was
married Jan. 3, 1850, to Miss Rebecca Liston, daughter of
John and Priscilla Liston. To them have been born
six children, viz., Jasper A., Sarah E., Melzenia, Calvin,
William S. and Grant. Mr. Andrew is a member of
Friends’ Society, a Republican, and justly entitled to the name
of a worthy and patriotic citizen.
