Andrew was never married, and died at age about 19. He was originally buried in what was called the Indian Mound, [also known as Judge Smith Family Burying Ground, North Benton, Mahoning County] but when the government began the soil and water conservation program by building a dam on the Mahoning river, his marker and remains were moved to Hartzell Cemetery, and placed at the head of his parents' graves.

We have previously mentioned the Judge Smith Family Burial Ground now most popularly known as the Indian Mound. We would like to give a more detailed description of this spot as it was in the past.
The last burial in this plot was made in about 1871. It was soon after this that John Smith, an influential farmer and son of Judge Smith bought and set out about 40 pine trees on top of the mound. Perhaps to foster a community spirit, Smith called on the citizens for contributions towards the expenses of this tree setting.
We list below the known names of those who gave one dollar each and so received claim to one tree...
The following persons are known to have been buried in the mound
.... 1817 Andrew McGowan ....
There is a second memorial for Andrew, #126656213 for his original burial in the Judge Smith Family Burying Ground, North Benton, Mahoning County, Ohiol.
