 Note |
As a boy, he was bound out to Mr. Bashore to learn the millwright trade. Bashore, however, made him work the trade in the day and split rails at night. After four weeks of this, Andrew took up the trade with the Wrights. Before the war, Andrew built his first mill on the Chillisquaque Creek above Northumberland, bringing iron from Columbia by canoe. He also built a mill on the White Deer Creek, in the present Union County. He emlisted in the Continental Army, and after the war, moved to Milton and in April 1784 to Columbia. Andrew donated much land in Milton for schools. His philanthropic gestures significantly advanced businesses there. |
