INDEX

Andrew Heath sailed from England in 1682 and arrived in Delaware Bay on 29 SEP 1682 on the ship “Friends’ Adventure”. On 2 NOV 1703, Andrew was appointed interpreter of the Lenni-Lenape Indians by the Council of Proprietors of Burlington County. Nancy Heath Dallaire has details of the U.S. Andrew Heath family tree.
Andrew's name appears several times in the Bucks County Court Records between 1685 and 1699 as a defendant, witness and lawyer. It was on December 9th 1685 that Andrew testified that he saw a man sell whiskey to an Indian. His age was given as "about twenty years". This would place his year of birth as either late 1665 or early 1666 in England.
Baldwin & County Court records 23:219:
"Elizabeth's parents are named by Frank C. Baldwin as Andrew and Elizabeth (Barrett) Heath. Andrew is identified as the same may who arrived in 1682 as the bonded servant to William Yardley; possibly Yardley's nephew. Baldwin states that 'they came from Staffordshire in England and settled in Lower Makefield Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. On July 29, 1686, Andrew was released after four years of bonded service. Andrew Heath moved to New Jersey in 1699 when he bought 420 acres of land near present-day Trenton. About 1703 he helped established the Hopewell Church, on of the first Episcopal Churches in the area. And in 1705 four of Andrew's children were baptized there: Andrew, Elizabeth, John, and Sarah.' Andrew made his will on the 3rd of January 1716/7 and the instrument was proved on the 29th of December 1720 in which he names his wife Hannah and children: Martha, John, Elizabeth, Andrew, Sarah, and Richard. He also names his grandchildren: Elizabeth, Abigail, and Andrew Pettit and his wife's children: Daniel Clark, Samuel Clark, and Hannah Clark.
"Baldwin writes of the Heath family and quotes from Louise H. Tunison and
Althea F. Courtot's work "The Heath Family of Hunterdon County, New
Jersey; a 1977 manuscript in the collection of the Hunterdon County Historical
Society. Andrew Heath married twice, first to the widow Elizabeth Barrett
Venables Bannor. She had married first William Venables who is also found as a
passenger on the same ship as the one Andrew Heath and the Yardleys arrived on.
Venables died leaving his widow and two daughters Joyce and Frances. Elizabeth
remarried to a Lawrence Bannor. She married Andrew Heath after 1688 and died by
1699 when Andrew and his step-daughter Joyce leave an instrument conveying
land. Andrew married secondly the widow Hannah Clark, whose maiden name
unknown."
