  7.   If Andrew's parents were actually John Burnham and Sarah Andrews, 1) his parents were 65 and 53 when he was born; and 2) he married his own niece. It seems more likely that they were his grandparents and that he was the u10 male in their household in 1810 (and thus he married his first cousin). If his father was indeed named John, it could have been their son John b. 1776, which is the most common internet theory.

    If Andrew's father is John b. 1776, and John b. 1776 is the same man who ends up in Shelby County, Ohio in 1850 living with John's brother Curtis, then Andrew's father left him at a young age, remarried in Maine in 1812, moved to Pennsylvania and then Ohio, without his eldest son. This would also account for the fact that Andrew thought or considered the elder couple to be his parents.
