Wife: Rachel Hyde (13 Jun 1802-13 Aug 1881)
History of the Western Reserve, Volume 3
By Harriet Taylor Upton, Harry Gardner Cutler
Ebenezer Andrews, the son of John and Lydia Andrews, was born at Greensfarms. Connecticut, on the 30th day of April, 1795. He was fitted for college at Fairfield Academy, Connecticut, and graduated at Yale in 1817. After teaching for a time at Louisville, Kentucky, he studied law at Litchfield, Connecticut, and on April 30, 1823, was admitted to the Connecticut bar, and in July, 1824, to the bar of Ohio. He lived for some time at Elyria, Ohio, and finally settled at Milan, this state, where he passed many years in successful legal practice. In 1852 he was elected probate judge of Erie county, and in 1855 he was engaged in the banking and shipping business on the lakes, having had in earlier years an interest in the steamboats "George Washington" and "Sheldon Thompson," among the first on those waters. He had the agency, from Connecticut owners of fire lands, of large tracts of land in Florence and Wakeman and in Huron and Erie counties, then known as parts of the "Western Reserve."
Ebenezer Andrews was married in August, 1825, to Miss Rachel Hyde, who was born June 13, 1802, a daughter of Joseph Hyde, of Greensfarms, Connecticut, and granddaughter of Ebenezer Jesup, of Westport, Connecticut. Her grandfather, Dr. Jesup, a graduate at Yale in the class of 1760, was a surgeon in the Revolutionary army and served as a representative of the government to negotiate one of the Indian treaties at Detroit, Michigan. He was a man of unusual ability as well as of substantial prosperity.
Rachel Hyde was educated at Fairfield Academy, Connecticut. She moved to Ohio soon after her marriage and resided the greater portion of her wedded life at Milan, Ohio, where she died August 13, 1881. She was a woman of great energy and resolution, well fitted to move in the society of cultured people, or, if need be, to meet the hardships of pioneer life.
In 1861 Ebenezer Andrews moved with his family to Chicago and there added to his banking and shipping business that of real estate. He died in Chicago, April 28, 1864, and was taken for interment to his native place, Greensfarms, Connecticut. The deceased was an able, quiet, self-contained and upright Christian man, a Republican in politics and not at a loss to define his position when asked. He was a positive man, yet ready always to give a wellmatured reason for his convictions on any subject; fond of reading and well informed on all general subjects; one who showed to the last the refining and broadening effects of a university education, and who was therefore charitable in his intellectual and moral judgment of others.
Ebenezer and Rachel Andrews left two sons and two daughters, who inherited much real estate in Chicago. Rachel Augusta, the eldest child, born at Milan, Ohio, July 9, 1834, became the wife of Dr. Benjamin Andrews and died at Brooklyn, New York, June 10, 1899. Joseph Hyde was born in Milan, November 18, 1835, graduated at Yale University in 1859 and from the Cincinnati Law School in 1861. He was admitted to the bar at Cincinnati and Chicago in the following year and was prominently engaged in commercial activities in the latter city. He died in Chicago on the nth of December, 1906. Ebenezer Andrews, the third child and second son, was born on the 21st of July, 1837, graduated at Yale University in 1861 and studied law in New Haven, Connecticut. He resided in Chicago for a number of years and died at Milan, Ohio, November 18, 1896. Eleanor, the youngest of the children, was born in Milan, on the 21st of February, 1840. She graduated at Maplewood Institute, Pittsfield. Massachusetts, in 1859, and lived in Chicago for some years thereafter.
