Andrew Clark Burnham

Notes:

Andrew was "of Lisbon, CT."

I had Andrew's middle initial as C; his middle name as Clark came to me on a family tree from Genevieve Walsh Shippy.

In the Federal Census of 1850, Andrew C. and Cynthia C. Burnham, ages 33 CT and 31 RI, are living at Lisbon, New London Co., CT. They have two sons: Thomas B. 7 CT and Henry H. 5 RI. Three other individuals are in the household: Maria E. Burlingame 21 RI, Samuel Blanchard 51 RI, and Joseph Kazer (?) 30 Germany. They are living with or next to Bishop and Elizabeth H. Burnham, ages 67 CT and 55 CT; they are Andrew's parents. Several family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect have them as Andrew's parents, with Elizabeth identified as Elizabeth H. Clark. Also, Bishop & Elizabeth Burnham are buried in the same cemetery as Andrew and Cynthia: Read & Herskell Cemetery, Lisbon, CT. Lastly, as further confirmation, Andrew and Cynthia named a son Thomas Bishop, after both of their fathers.

Andrew married Cynthia Cruff Remington 2 Jan 1843, Coventry, RI. Cynthia (daughter of Thomas Remington, Jr. and Patience Matteson) was born 25 Aug 1819, RI; died 20 Nov 1887, Griswold, New London Co., CT; was buried , Read & Herskell Cemetery, Ross Hill Rd., Lisbon, CT. [Group Sheet]
