Quaker Meeting Record 1681-1935 lists children of Edward and Sarah Andrews as daughters Elizabeth, Sarah and Hannah. His Will cites "my 3 daughters, one of who is Elizabeth". That Quaker record is clear on the names of who the 3 daughters were. The question of whether it was Edward or Mordecai Andrews seems to be answered by this Quaker record and the Will of Mordecau Andrews that cites Alice Mathis as his daughter.
