Father: John Andrews

Children include Esther

Hannah Andrews was a daughter of John and Mary Andrews of Farmington, Connecticut. Henry Bronson's history of Waterbury says that John and Mary "had seven sons ... and three daughters, Mary (the mother of Benjamin Barnes), Hannah (who married Obadiah Richards), and Rachel."

She and her husband were both members of Mr. Hooker's church at Farmington. She bore ten children between 1667 and 1691, among them Esther, born in June 1673, who married Ephraim Warner. Six of the children were baptised together at Farmington on 14 March 1679/80. The family moved to Waterbury, where her husband was one of the original thirty proprietors.

In May 1701 her husband, too sick to work, settled land on two of their sons so that he and his wife would have some relief. The deed gave her "four bushills of grain by ye yeir." He died in November 1702. She lived as his widow for more than twenty two years and died about May 1725.
