Facts and Events
Andrew came to Boston in 1636 and to Lynn in 1639 before his father[5] On 26 March 1661 being then about 38 years old, he made affidavit to the Court at Ipswich, Mass., that he had been an inhabitant of Lynn about 22 or 23 years and in June 1669 "about 49 years old, he testified in court concerning the estate of Frances Axey." [6]
Andrew was made freeman 8 July 1645. He was a selectman and served as trial juror and on Grand Jury 1650-1677. He was called "sergeant" from 15 March 1663. "There are many letters on file in the clerk of the courts office of Essex County in his clear legiable handwriting showing his ability and that the esteem in which he was held was well merited. He was deputy to the General Court from 1680-1683 inclusive. By reference to the Court records it wilt be seen that he was entrusted by that body with important commissions." (Moulton).
On Sept. 12, 1675 Andrew Mansfield, Joseph Mansfield & Deborah Mansfield witnessed the will of John Witt Sr. of Lynn, MA.[7] On Dec. 2, 1675 Andrew Mansfield & John Fuller took inventory of John Witt Sr.
