~1725 - ?
Germany - Pennsylvania - North Carolina?
Hans Sigmund -> Andreas
Sources: Kay Schroy;Ancestry.com's Birth, Marriage and Death records; Humphreys, John T. Pennsylvania Births; US census, others as noted.
Researchers seem to agree that Andreas was the son of Hans Sigmund, the son of Weigant, but there is not much information out there about him. The information I have here might not refer to this particular Andreas - there might even be two separate men here.
There are plenty of Andrews in North Carolina, and I am thinking that he and Valentine both went there.
