    Andrew Rich [#70], s/o Apollos Rich[#19] and Abigail Collins, "perhaps twin with Apollos", d. Ware after 1826, m. Persis Ross.
    [Note: no birth record of Andrew is found in Truro or Hardwick. No death record or gravestone is found, only a probate, so no age at death is available. The reason for suggesting he is "perhaps twin with Apollos" found in this source is unknown, but may be because he is the first son mentioned in his father's will. However, this is probably assuming too much. Elkanah appears to be mentioned last as the residual legatee and executor getting all that is left after the other legacies, and probably Andrew is only mentioned first because he is the only other son, so first before the naming of the daughters. Additionally, not only is there no indication of twins in the birth of Apollos, neither is there any indication in the baptism of Apollos. Further, Andrew's marriage in 1823 suggests a much later birth (the marriage is actually late enough that Andrew could conceivably be a son of Elkanah, i.e., a grandson of Apollos, though the naming in Apollos' will discussed here shows he is Apollos' son).]
