Lee Burnham email 14 Jan 1998 - John, Thomas, and Robert Burnham reported that they were from Norwich England. They arrived with their uncle Capt Andrews aboard the ship Angel Gabriel.

(Gen Hist Robet Andrews, NHSL) in Ipswich 1637 (, p. 12) History of Brookfield - p. 56-59 -first settlement 1660-1676, on chapter The Town Plot. A careful study of. .records and landmarks makes it certain that the town plot, ie, the home lots, was laid out so as to take in what is now known as Foster's Hill, extending fr Hovey's Brook on the SE to Coy's Brook on the NW, and bounded by the river meadow southerly, and reaching on the northerly
side to the foot of the hill. The area of this plot was nominally 500 acres. It is believed that the home lots orig contained 20 acres each, with a right to 20 acres meadow, and 8-10 acres plain land. The minister, and men with grown up sons, appeared to have double or 1 1/2 lots. The road through the town plot turned northerly at the Pritchard place, running around instead of over hill as at present. Meeting house middle of plantation, abt 20 rods fr Sgt Ayres' tavern, which would place it a little to the west or NW or D H Richardson's barn -- "the
slough," or wet run, then being on the west side of the house." p. 59 lists the order in which home lots laid out; 14 was Daniel Hovey, 15 James Hovey, 16 Thomas Hovey, "these three Hovey lots located easterly of the little brook, north side of road, 30 acres each." The first book of records of Quabag appears to have been kept by Mr. Pynchon, "recorder." Naturally this book was given to the town clerk of Brookfield in 1673, and perished in the conflagration of 1675.

The IGI and 1 both have this John as a son of Robert and father of John. However, I do not believe this is possible, because the other John (supposedly his son), was born about the same time as John! I don't think this John is a son of Robert, but have put him here until we get more info. Prob a son of a brother of Roberts. 1, p. 10, has a John Andrews in Ipswich 1639. Perhaps a brother of Robert? Also a Richard Andrews in 1643.
