      Notes:

      It appears from the records that he went to America, where he died in the early part of 1659. It is probable that his wife and children remained at Stepney. It is found in the London records that Edmond Pike was appointed curator on 1 Aug 1659, "to Sarah, Margaret and James Harwood, minors, children of Andrew Harwood, late in ye Virginia [New England was part of Virginia in early colonial times] in parts beyond ye seas, deceased,' and 12 Dec 1659, administration was granted to Elizabeth Harwood, 'relict of Andrew Harwood, of Stepney, but in parts beyond ye seas, deceased.' It would look as if Andrew visited America with a view of later bringing his family there, but died before carrying out his plan.

      Andrew married Elizabeth Bowden on 04 Jul 1648 in Dartmouth, Devonshire, England. Elizabeth was born about 1630 in Dartmouth, Devonshire, England; died after 12 Dec 1659 in Stepney, Middlesex, England. [Group Sheet]
