Narrative:

Leman Andrus was born on 26 Apr 1797 in Pawlet, VermontG.4,5,6
     Leman married Wealthyann Cobb, daughter of Capt. Joshua Cobb and Hannah Edgerton, on 3 Nov 1816 in Pawlet, Rutland Co., VermontG, with Rev. John Griswold officiating.7,8,9 Leman and Wealthyann moved to Hebron, Washington Co., New YorkG, just to the west of Pawlet, after their marriage.10 (See map.) He appeared on the 1820 Federal Census of Hebron, Washington Co., New YorkG, with a household consisting of one male age 16 to 26 (Leman), one female under age 10 and one age 16 to 26 (wife Wealthyann Cobb.)11
     By 1830 Leman and Wealthyann had moved to Almond, Allegany Co. in western New York. After that they seem to have moved regularly around the western part of the state, perhaps prompted by his ministerial calling.12,13,14,15 Leman appeared on the 1830 Federal Census of Almond, Allegany Co., New YorkG, with a household consisting of one male age 20 to 30 (Leman, though he was about 33), one female under age 5 (daughter Thankful), one age 5 to 10, and one age 20 to 30 (wife Wealthyann Cobb, though she was about 22.)16
     He appeared on the 1840 Federal Census of Pendleton, Niagara Co., New YorkG, with a household consisting of one male age 10 to 15 and one age 50 to 60 (Leman, though he was only about 43), one female age 10 to 15 (daughter Thankful), and one age 40 to 50 (wife Wealthyann Cobb.)17
     Leman and Wealthyann appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Pendleton, Niagara Co., New YorkG, enumerated 24 Sep 1850, reporting real estate valued at $6,000. Their daughter Thankful was listed as living with them.3 They appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Wirt, Allegany Co., New YorkG, enumerated 28 Aug 1860, reporting real estate valued at $800 and personal estate of $400.18
     Leman and Wealthyann moved to Fayette Co., IllinoisG, between 1860 and 1870.19 Leman and Wealthyann appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of La Clede Twp., Fayette Co., IllinoisG, enumerated 16 Jun 1870, reporting real estate valued at $1,700 and personal estate of $150.20 He and Wealthyann appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Farina, Fayette Co., Illinois G, enumerated 3 Jun 1880.21
     He was a school teacher, and a musician. He was licensed to preach by the Seventh Day Baptists in Pawlet as a young man, and continued as Baptist minister in New York.22,23,24,25
     Leman died on 3 Sep 1890 in Farina, IllinoisG, at age 93.2

Children:
      Children with Wealthyann Cobb

Based on the unidentified children present in the 1830 and 1840 censuses, it seems quite likely that Leman and Welthyan also had other children.
  1. Emily Edgerton Andrus (9 Sep 1817 - 28 May 1837)
  2. daughter Andrus (19 Aug 1818 - Dec 1818)
  3. John Ives Andrus (26 Feb 1824 - 17 Mar 1904)
