     Andrew Millslagle was born on 25 March 1801 in Hampshire County, Virginia.^1,2,3 He was the son of Johann Jacob Mühlschlägel and Elizabeth Cooper.⁴ He may have been enumerated on the 1810 census for Hampshire Co in the household of his father as a male aged from newborn to ten years old.⁵ Follow the link to see the census image.

          Andrew married Mary Martin, daughter of (?) Martin, on 4 July 1832 in Hampshire Co.¹ He was about 31 years old; she was about 20. They had 6 children. Two of these children died in infancy and two after "arriving at a mature age." The names of the known children are Elizabeth A. and Jacob Marion.¹ Andrew worked as a farmer in 1834 in Sangamon County, Illinois.⁸ In early in 1834, Andrew, Mary and their daughter, Elizabeth, moved to Sangamon Co.¹ Andrew purchased land from the government on 20 March 1837 in Sangamon Co. It was a cash sale for 80 acres located in township 14N, range 4W. Follow the link to see the image.⁹ On the same day, Andrew purchased land from the government in Christian County, Illinois. It was a cash sale for 70.21 acres located in township 14N, range 3W. Looking at a township map for Illinois, it appears that this land was connected or at least very close together. This township map is not very detailed. Follow the link to see the image.¹⁰ Mary died on 29 October 1838, leaving Andrew a widower. It was one week after Jacob's birth.
