Son of Asahel Andrews and Sarah Rowlee
Baptized Oct 1778 at Hadlyme Church, East Haddam CT as "Joseph Rowley Andrews " He was named for his maternal grandfather, Joseph Rowley.
Dr. Joseph R. Andrews was the third in order of the physicians of the olden time. He was born in the town of East Haddam; Middlesex County, Connecticut, in 1778. He came to Monroe to practice soon after entering upon his profession, and married Julia, daughter of Nehemiah Clark and sister of Mrs. Stephen Bull and Nathanael and Henry Clark, well-known citizens of Monroe and Oxford. The doctor was quite tall, and when we knew him was erect in bearing, benevolent in countenance, with abundance of long, silvery hair. He visited his patients on horseback, with his medicines in a saddle-bag, a true physician of the old school. He was very highly esteemed both as a physician and a citizen. He was honored with the office of justice of the peace for years. He died October 18, 1849, aged seventy-one years. He survived his wife but a few weeks; her death occurring August 30 of the same year. Their children were Fannie (Mrs. Elijah Smith), Sarah, Elizabeth, Andrew, and Joseph. His epitaph, "Departed worth," is no false praise.
