Author: Dr. Michael Bernard Gunn
Born in March 1757 at Reamstown, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He entered the service in the fall of the year that the British Army took possession of and occupied Philadelphia; as given in his testimony to apply for a pension, Andrew thought the date of his entering the service was 1777. He was a substitute for one Phillip Huffman who was drafted to serve a tour in the militia for two months. After two weeks at Lancaster, they marched to Schuylkill. His second enlistment took place sometime in the spring of the same year that Arnold betrayed West Point. He was attached to the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment commanded by Colonel Butler which belonged to General Wayne's command. He was discharged after serving the full term of seven months. Later, he was drafted to serve a tour of two months in the militia of Pennsylvania. He served another term of two months as a substitute for his brother David, as a guard to the British prisoners held in Lancaster, PA. His service amounted in the whole to about thirteen months." In separate questioning he said he saw General Washington, General Greene and Lord Sterling at the time he was in the service on the North River. He married Mary Zug/Zuke; children: Susannah b. 1787, Benjamin b. 1789, John b. 1792, Samuel b. 1794, Andrew Jr b. 1797, Mary b. 1797, Solomon b. 1801, William b. 1804 and Eleanor b. 1810. He began his migration that eventually brought him to Clark County, Ohio, from Cocalico Twp., Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He spent some time in the vicinity of Pittsburg; then to the Conococheague, and then to Botetourt County, Virginia. It was from this county that he migrated to Clark County, Ohio. His land grant for the east half of the southeast quarter, section 10 Town 3, Range 10, in quantity 80 acres, was dated 24 April 1820, and recorded 9 April 1822 was signed by President James Monroe.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
