From the "Portrait and Biographical Album of Washington County, Iowa" (1887):

[I]n April, 1855, Miss Phoebe A. Myers became [Andrew's] wife. Her parents were Joseph and Mary (Greg) Myers, who were married in Pittsburgh, Pa. [and] removed to near Salem, Ohio, in 1835, and in 1836 went to Peoria County, and then to Fulton County, Ill., in which latter county Mrs. Cummings was born....

After the marriage of our subject, the young couple began domestic life in the little cabin before mentioned, where they resided until 1866, when a new and commodious residence was completed, in which they yet reside. In the old cabin their six eldest children were born.... Five children were born after they moved to their new house. The names of all are respectively: Mary E., Byron W. and William A. are deceased; Lillie M. is the wife of Steward Alcorn; Charles S. and Joseph E.; Rosa B., Winnie, Wilmot, Irwin and Arthur A., all died in infancy. The family circle has oft been broken, but the three living children are all in robust health.
