    Bethiah Kirby (John), born Feb. 14, 1658, in Middletown,
    Ct.; married, before Oct. 25, 1680, John Andrews of Fairfield, Ct., baptized Sept. 27, 1646, at Hartford, Ct., son of Francis Andrews of Hartford and Fairfield, Ct., died 1663, and Anne Smith, daughter of Giles Smith of Hartford, New London, and Fairfield, who died 1669. The History of Fairfield, Ct., says that John Andrews, born Sept. 27, 1646, son of Frances, married Sarah, daughter of Simon Couch, and had John, born Oct. 24, 1679; Sarah, born Jan. 12, 1681; died 1683; and four other children. This is erroneous. He married Bethiah Kirby, as the "Land Records of Middletown" fully show (see Vol. L, p. 26; Vol. H., p. 66, and Vol. IV., p. 26), and had only two children. It was a grandson of John and Bethiah (Kirby) Andrews who married Sarah Couch and had several children. John Andrews died in 1683. Bethiah, his wife, is believed to have outlived her husband. She probably died before Nov. 21, 1700.

Sarah (Andrews) Osborne died in Ridgefield, Ct., soon after the birth of her youngest child, Daniel, who was born Oct. 29, 1719. Her gravestone is the oldest now standing in the ancient cemetery. Richard Osborne removed to Ridgefield, Ct., about 1713, and died there in 1779, aged 103 years.
