Person:Andrew Drumm (1)

Possibly Peter Andrew Drumm

Confusion on birthdate. It's listed as 1848 in one place, 1851 inanother. According to1900 Census, his birthdate is 1848. He lists hisoccupation as "farmer" and his name as "Andrew P. Drumm."

Census Listings: 1855 [NY] -- 6 yrs old, living in Liberty, NY [Sullivan Co.] 1860 [US] -- 11 yrs old, living in Liberty, NY [Sullivan Co.] 1875 [NY] -- no longer living at home 1880 [US] -- 32 yrs old, living in Town of Hancock [farm laborer]

    -- brother Milton (19) living with him

1892 [NY] -- 44 yrs old, living in Town of Hancock 1900 [US] -- 51 yrs old, living in Town of Hancock [Farmer] 1905 [NY] -- 51 yrs old, no more kids at home, living in Town of Hancock[farmer]

    {note: his age is listed as 51 in 1905, but he gives a birth year of1848      in 1900, which would make him 56}
    -- shows that he's been married for 27 years (marriage date =1873]

Other information listed here was gathered from a family bible thatGerald Hawley had and from information Lucy Drumm Caffery Davis gatheredfrom Gladys Hawley Knapp. Most of the Drumm's stayed in the area ofEquinunk and Lookout, Pennsylvania and Long Eddy -- Fishs Eddy area.Most of them were woodsmen, cutting pulpwood for the acid factories.Some were carpenters and farmers. Two of Peter's brothers (William Frankand George Edgar) drowned --at ages 19 and 16, respectively.

Peter Andrew had a log home just off the Silas Tompkins road near LongEddy that Robert Drumm remembers seeing pieces of when he was a littleboy.

Buried in Pea Brook Cemetery, next to his wife, in a grave marked by afieldstone (no name on it).
