Other sources have him as Thomas Andrews (Birth 1500 Horndon On Hill, Essex, England; Death 25 DEC 1567 Surrey, England.

Father:
Thomas Andrews (1468 Northamptonshire, England - 1530 Northamptonshire, England). Other sources has his father as Thomas Andrews (unknown - 1496)

Mother:
Emma Knightley (unknown - 11 Apr 1490)

His grandfather is Thomas Andrews (1437 Northamptonshire, England - December 11, 1496).

[There is left] no reasonable doubt that Thomas Andrew the Horndon carpenter, was the grandfather of one of the greatest and most learned Prelates of the Church in England, Lancelot Andrews, Bishop of Winchester and Prelate of the Order of the Garter.

Memoir of the Ancestry of Dr. Lancelot Andrews

In the second volume of the Rev. William Palin's History of "Stifford and its neighbourhood," I had the honour of contributing a brief memoir of the ancestry of that eminent and learned Prelate Dr. Lancelot Andrewes, Bishop of Winchester, in which I claimed for the Bishop an Essex ancestry, proving that his father and grandfather were of Horndon-on-the-Hill (where the former says he was born), in direct contradiction to the statement of the Bishop's amanuensis and biographer, Henry Isaacson, who states that he was descended from an ancient Suffolk family.

More recently Colonel Chester has sent me an abstract of a will, contributed by Mr. Walter C. Metcalfe, of Epping, which I believe, can be none other than that of Bishop Andrewes' grandfather, and if so, he was a carpenter in very humble circumstances at Horndon-on-the-Hill, as the document proves.

Testator describes himself as Thomas Andrew[s], of Horndon, Co. Essex, "Carpyntoure." The will bears date 29th Decr- (no year but doubtless 1567) and was proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Essex, 25th Jan. (no year, but doubtless 1567-8, as the will is registered with those of 1568.) It is a brief document and the following abstract gives its contents :—

"To be buried in Hornon churchyard. To the poor men's box at Horndon, 12d- To John, my son, a bullock of three years age, for 138- 4d- I owe him, and my best colt. To Thomas my son, the younger, a feather-bed. To William my son, a gold ring. To Matthew my son, a bolster, pair of sheets and my best "gerkin." Residue to my wife Margaret and appoint her executrix, and overseers, Robert Drywood* and Matthew my son.

We have in the first place indisputable evidence that the father of Bishop Andrewes was Thomas Andrewes and that he was born at Horndon. He mentions in his will, dated in 1593, his brothers William and Eobert and besides without naming them, he leaves " to each of my brothers and sisters by my father's side, 40s"
_________

Thomas Andrewes of Horndon-on-the-Hill, Essex, was the paternal grandfather of Bishop Lancelot Andrewes. According to the Vincent pedigrees he married three times. Evidence from the Essex wills (published by Fitch in his series of that county's probate records) allows us to confirm this statement, and most of what King's reconstructs of the family:

PART ONE

1. Thomas Andrewes, witnessed the will of Thomas Armerar of Horndon, 21 February 1558/9 (pr Archdeaconry of Essex, 3 April 1559); named in the will of William Goodwyn, his brother-in-law [see will of his daughter Agnes, infra], waxchandler of Horndon, dated 30 May 1561 (pr. Archd. Essex, 3 December 1561):

"L30 to the children of Thomas Andrewes of Horndon, i.e. to Robert L10, to John and Matthew L5 apiece, and to Agnes L10, all at 23; to John and Matthew in addition L5 each at 23; to Lancelot Andrewes and Agnes Andrewes the son and daughter of Thomas Andrewes of London, mariner, my part of and in the ship called the Trinity of Caryte, and of and in the crayer called the Hearne of London" as "Thomas Andrewe, carpenter of Horndon-on-the-Hill", made a will:

"to the poor men's box of Horndon, 12d; to John my son a bullock and my best coat; to Thomas my son the younger a featherbed; to William my son a gold ring; to Matthew my son a bolster, pair of sheets, two platters and my best jerkin; residue to Margaret my wife whom I ordain my executrix; Robert Drywood and my son Matthew to be overseers;

witnessed by Robert Drywood, maker of this will, Matthew and John Andrewes his sons", dated 29 December [presumably 1568], proved Archd. Essex 25 January 1568/9.

married firstly ( ) the sister of William Goodwin of Horndon; had by her Thomas, Robert, John, Matthew and Agnes.

married secondly ( ), by whom he had William, not named in any of the Goodwin wills but still living in 1597, and possibly Thomas the younger

married thirdly Margaret, his widow. She seems to have married firstly a Mr Lowe, by whom she had a daughter Agnes [see will of Agnes Andrewes, infra]; then Thomas Andrewes, and thirdly John Goodwin of Horndon, her second husband's nephew by his first marriage. Her will, dated 19 November 1592, proved Archd. Essex 17 February 1592/3, names her son Robert Goodwin, her daughter Sarah Almon; her daughter Agnes Gyles; her daughter Elizabeth Hawkins; her daughter Joan Bowsy, and "Mistress Andrewes of Tower Hill", to whom she left her "bay nag with saddle and bridle". The will of her third husband John Goodwin (dated 26 May, proved 18 June 1588 Archd. Essex) names Margaret his wife, his son Robert and his daughter Sarah. We may thus conclude that by Margaret's marriage to Thomas Andrewes, she bore Elizabeth, afterwards Hawkins, and Joan, afterwards Bowsy.

Issue:

2a. Thomas Andrewes, of Tower Hill, London, mariner; son of his father's first marriage - see part three

2b. Agnes Andrewes, daughter of her father's first marriage; mentioned in her uncle's will, 1561; unmarried; left a will dated 2 February 1562/3, proved Archd. Essex, 7 September 1563:

witness: Robert Drywood"

2c. Robert Andrewes, son of his father's first marriage; mentioned in the will of his uncle, 1561, and that of his sister Agnes, 1563, then of age; mentioned in his father's will, 1568; dead by 1594, when his widow is mentioned in the will of his sister-in-law Joan Andrews;

married Joan (called "Joan Butler" in the 1594 will, so probably she remarried); had issue:

3a. Thomas Andrewes, named in the will of his uncle Thomas Andrewes, 1593

2d. John Andrewes, son of his father's first marriage; mentioned in the wills of 1561 and 1568

Essex 13 June 1573); executor to his mother-in-law Alice Thomson, 1579 (Archd, Essex); married firstly ( ) the daughter of Alice Thomson of East Tilbury, by whom he had three children; married secondly ( ); engaged to marry Judith Turner at the time of making his will, proved Archd. Essex, 16 October 1599:

"Matthew Andrewes of Horndon; to my son Robert L20 at 21; to daughter Rebecca, L20 at 20 or marriage; to son William, L5; to Judith Turner, whom, had God permitted, should have been my wife, L10; residue to Nicholas Andrewes my cousin, whom I make executor"

Had issue by both marriages:

3a. William Andrewes, son of his father's first marriage; named in his maternal grandmother's will, 1578; named in his father's will, 1599

3b. Thomas Andrewes, son of his father's first marriage; named in his maternal grandmother's will, 1578; named in the will of his aunt Joan Andrewes, 1594 as "second son of the first marriage"

3c. John Andrewes, son of his father's first marriage; named in his maternal grandmother's will, 1578

3d. Robert Andrewes, son of his father's second marriage; mentioned in his father's will, 1599, and the wills of his cousins Lancelot Andrewes, 1626, and Martha Salmon, 1650; had two children, according to the 1626 will

3e. Rebecca Andrewes, daughter by her father's second marriage; mentioned in the wills of Thomas Almon, her godfather, 1594 (Archd. Essex, 112 ER 17), her father, 1599, and her cousins Lancelot Andrewes, 1626, and Martha Salmon, 1650

2f. Elizabeth Andrewes, daughter of her father's third marriage; named in her sister's will, 1563, then under 18; mentioned in her mother's will, 1592, having married a Mr Hawkins; she had a daughter Susanna

2g. Joan Andrewes, daughter of her father's third marriage; not named in the will of her sister Agnes, 1563, so possibly not then born; named as "Joan Bowsy" in her mother's will, 1592; referred to as "my father's half-sister Joan - her first husband's name was Bousie" in the will of Lancelot Andrewes, 1626; married firstly Mr Bowsy/Bousie, and secondly ( ). Had two children, according to the 1626 will.

MA-R

PART TWO: PATERNAL ANCESTRY

1. Thomas Andrewes, of Horndon-on-the-Hill, carpenter; had issue, incl:

2d. William Andrewes, apparently son of his father's second marriage, as not named in the wills of William Goodwin or Margaret Goodwin; named in his sister's will, 1563, then of age; named in his father's will; bequeathed an interest in a ship by his brother Thomas, 1593, and again by his sister-in-law Joan Andrewes, 1594; married Alice, named in the 1594 will

This William was a party to a property transaction in Brentwood, Essex, 1594:

"William Greatham and Joan his wife v. William Andrewes and Alice his wife, re two messuages, a garden and an orchard in Brentwood parish of Weald; £40" (Essex Feet of Fines 1581-1603, p 120 #60)

PART THREE: PARENTS AND SIBLINGS

Perhaps the greatest level of confusion about the family of Lancelot Andrewes concerns his siblings. A quick glance at the IGI, for instance, will reveal no fewer than 15 brothers and sisters variously assigned to him. I have been able to confirm 12 only, including an unnamed sibling who died young. The spurious children credited to his parents appear to be:

(a) Ann, said per IGI to have been born in 1568, but of whom there is no trace

(b) Agnes, said per IGI to have been born in 1582, but of whom there is no trace

(c) George, of whom King states "baptised at All Hallows 1563 (and) buried there in 1571", quoting the parish registers (this is presumably the source of the identical details appearing in Boyd's Inhabitants of London). No George Andrewes is named in the parish register for the period in question, either in respect of a baptism or a burial.

(d) William, referred to in the 'Suffolk Manorial Families' pedigree, but of whom there is no other evidence.

In fact, details of Lancelot's parents and siblings are as follows:

Thomas Andrewes, son of Thomas Andrewes and his first wife, nee Goodwin; born at Hordon-on-the-Hill, Essex; of Thames Street, Tower Ward, London; mariner; of age, 23 March 5 Mary I/4 Philip [1558], when he entered in a bond; legatee of his uncle William Goodwin, 1561, then of London; bought a messuage, a toft, a garden, 60 acres of arable, 20 acres of meadow, 40 acres of pasture and 3 acres of wood at Horndon for £160, 1587 [Essex Feet of Fine]; named in the Assessment of 1589 for Tower Ward; "having most part of his life used the seas, in his latter time became one of the Society, and Master of the Holy Trinity, commonly called the Trinity House" (Isaacson); will dated 23 June 1593, proved PCC 4 July 1593:

"I, Thomas Andrewes of the parish of All Saints Barking on Tower Hill, London, mariner; to my well-beloved wife Joan the moiety of my manor or farm in Raweth, Essex, called Borrells, and of all the lands except the advowson of the church of Raweth, which I will shall remain to my eldest son Lancelot Andrewes, clerk; also the moiety of that farm and those lands in Hordon on the Hill, and lands called Gore Oke and Clayes, and of houses in Redriffe, Surrey; to my son Nicholas the other moiety of Borrells and lands in Rawerth; the other moiety of those houses and lands in Horndon shall remain to my son Thomas; the premises in Rederiffe shall remain to my son Roger; to Martha Andrewes

He was buried (as "Mr Thomas Andrewes") at All Hallows', Barking, in the choir, 23 June 1593 during a period shown by the registers to have been one of very high local mortality.

marred Joan, named in the will of her step-mother in law, 1592; executrix to her husband, 1593; will dated 1594 proved PCC 10 January 1597/8:

"I Joan Andrewes, widow, of Tower Hill in London; body to be buried with due and decent funerals and laid in the Quier of the church of All Saints, Barking, hard by the body of my late husband Thomas Andrewes, as near as conveniently it may; to son Lancelot my best salt with cover, being silver and gilt; to son Nicholas, L100; to son

Given the dates of his will and his burial, we may conclude that the
Bishop's father died 23 June 1593. There was a virulent outbreak of
bubonic plague in London during 1593; Stowe reports nearly 11,000
deaths in twelve months.

PART FOUR: GOODWIN ANCESTRY
I visited Horndon-on-the-Hill this morning; it is a very pleasant
village, with various mediaeval buildings remaining in good
condition. The church is open for visitors on a Tuesday and Saturday
mornings, and the Bell still functions as an inn. A plaque outside
commemorates Thomas Higbed, of Horndon House, who on 26 March 1555 was
burnt at the stake in the courtyard for adhering to the Protestant

Mr Almon [probably Thomas Almon of Horndon-on-the-Hill, will pr.
Archd. Essex, 1594 112ER17].
There are a number of other Goodwin wills at Chelmsford, including
some earlier (eg Thomas of Horndon, 1543; Joan of Horndon, widow,
1552) which I have not yet seen; these likely shed further light on the Goodwin family of Horndon-on-the-Hill.
