Narrative:

     Wealthyann Cobb was born on 31 Jan 1798 in Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont.7,8,9 She was probably one of the two females under age 10 listed in the household of her father, Capt. Joshua Cobb, in the 1800 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont.14 She was probably one of the two females age 10 to 16 listed in the household of her father in the 1810 Federal Census of Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont.15
     Wealthyann married Leman Andrus, son of Asa Andrus and Lucy Bushnell, on 3 Nov 1816 in Pawlet, Rutland Co., Vermont, with Rev. John Griswold officiating.10,11,12
     Wealthyann and Leman moved to Hebron, Washington Co., New York, just to the west of Pawlet, after their marriage.16 (See map.) Wealthyann was probably the female age 16 to 26 listed in the household of her husband, Leman Andrus, in the 1820 Federal Census of Hebron, Washington Co., New York.17
     By 1830 Wealthyann and Leman 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.18,19,20,21 She was probably the female age 20 to 30 listed in the household of her husband in the 1830 Federal Census of Almond, Allegany Co., New York.22 She was probably the female age 40 to 50 listed in the household of her husband in the 1840 Federal Census of Pendleton, Niagara Co., New York.23
     Wealthyann and Leman appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Pendleton, Niagara Co., New York, enumerated 24 Sep 1850, reporting real estate valued at $6,000.

Children:
     Children with Leman Andrus

Based on the unidentified children present in the 1830 and 1840 censuses, it seems quite likely that Leman and Welthyan also had other children.
