The Andrews property in Thornbury Township abutted that of both Richard Woodward and Edward Bennett, who were related by marriage to the Fishers of Concord and Kennett.

In 1701, the Quaker Richard Woodward Jr. (from the Worcester Woodwards) married Deborah Standfield, daughter of Francis (from the Cheshire Standfields), deceased. In 1697, Edward Bennett married Sarah Standfield, sister of Deborah. The Standfield sisters were aunts of Elizabeth Huntley, who married Thomas Fisher in 1713 at Concord Monthly Meeting. The Bennett/Woodward/Andross tracts were at the north line of Thornbury Township, on the beginning stretch of a branch of Chester Creek. The Concord meeting house is about four miles southeast of the location of the Woodward/Bennett/Andross tracts.

Biography Esther Davis was the first wife of Richard Woodward Jr., with their intention to marry recorded by the Concord Monthly Meeting, May 13, 1695.[1]

Esther died before 1701, the year Richard married his 2nd wife[2]
