A:ANDREW KESSINGER
Andrew Kessinger was born about 1769 in Lancaster County, in the British Colony of Pennsylvania.He was the oldest
child of 11 children born to Solomon Kessinger I and Elizabeth (Greenwald), both of German ancestry.
He was 9 years old in 1778, when he, and 5 of his younger siblings, accompanied his parents on their journey down
the Ohio River by flatboat, to the Kentucky territory.
Andrew married Catharine “Caty” Hall on May 22, 1792 in Nelson County, Kentucky; and they had, at least, 13 children,
all of whom were born in Kentucky.
In later years, many of the children moved to Illinois.About 1830, Andrew and Catharine followed their family to Illinois;
where Andrew died of smallpox in August 1836 in Morgan County, now Scott Co., Illinois.Mary survived Andrew; she and
11 children are mentioned by name in his Estate Distribution.
