Found in a vacant house in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada by ME Moffatt, it contains records from two Bibles and shows christening records from St. John's (now St. Mark's) Anglican Church in Port Hope, Ontario, dating back to the 1840s.
James' wife, Rosanna, was the daughter of John Brown, who came to the United States from Cavan, Ireland, and then to Port Hope in 1818. He was a member of the legislature for Durham County for a number of years. He erected the first brick building in Port Hope in 1823. He died in 1842, after doing much to promote the progress of the town.
The marriage of James and Rosanna was noted in Durkee's Reminiscences of Saratoga, and their family was listed in the 1855 NY State Census of Saratoga Springs. Jason Andrews' death was also noted by Durkee's Reminiscences."
James M. Andrews Jr. served during the Civil War as a lieutenant in the 30th Regiment NY Volunteer Infantry. He was "in several battles, taken prisoner, confined in Richmond, exchanged and discharged with his regiment." He and many other familly members are buried in Greenridge Cemetery in Saratoga Springs.
