I know all of Andrews siblings. His mother and father were John and Margaret Vanatta(i believe Van Etten). Andrews oldest brother was Cornelius. Family did seem to name the oldest son after the previous generation' father.

I am trying to verify existance in Ohio during this timeframe and where the family came from. Andrews siblings married families of surnames Blue/Blaw, Sullivan and Wakeland. The Blue/Blaw family I have researched traveling from new york, to virginia/new jersey, even beaver county. PA and finally ohio (butler county) between 1750-1830. The siblings appeared to marry within the same ethnic group or religion, with a couple exceptions, of which Andrew was one.
