(1) Capt. Robert Andrews, came from England, and settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts, early in the year 1635.  The Andrews Memorial states that Capt. Andrews, came from Norwich, Norfolk County, England, early in 1635, as owner and master of ship Angel Gabriel. Richard Mather, in his narrative of his voyage in the James says, they came in company part of the way, and that many Godly people were on board the ship.
        This Capt. Andrews had a sister Mary, who was the wife of Robert Burnham.  Their three boys, John, Thomas, and Robert Burnham, it is said, were put in charge of their uncle Andrews, master of the ship Angel Gabriel which was cast away at Pemaquid, in Maine, in a terrible storm, 15 August 1635, after which loss, Capt. Andrews settled with his nephews at Chebacco, in Massachusetts Bay.
        In a book entitled "Ancient Pemaquid," by J. W. Thornton, 1857, it says:

        "On the last wednesday of May in this year (1635), the Angel Gabriel, a strong ship of 240 tons, and carrying a heavy armament of 16 guns swung at her moorings in the King's Road, four or five miles distant from the city. Her destination was Pemaquid. On her deck was a company of many Godly Christians, some from other ships, bound for New England; one of them was Richard Mather, visited there by Sir Ferdinando Georges, but the chief personage in the company was John Cogswell, a London merchant of wealth who with the fragments of his freight, and accompanied by his servants, settled at Ipswich."

PEMAQUID was about fifty miles east of Portland, Maine, and was the patent granted to Aldsworth and Elbridge, of Bristol, England, and includes the present towns of Bristol, Newcastle, Damariscotta and Nobleboro, Maine.         The "A. E." on the seal were the initials of the patentees, and "1631" the date of the patent. Accompanying the cut of the seal in Thornton's the book is this note: "The Gabriel," a little bark, was one of Frobisher's discovery ships engaged in no less than three of his expeditions, the voyages of 1576-7-'88, and was, it may be supposed a favorite vessel with him. That ship may be taken as a representative of the naval architecture of that time, which was not essentially modified even down to the days of her namesake, the Angel Gabriel, of Pemaquid memory. Fortunately the contemporary accounts of Frobisher's voyages, furnish hints for a general description of this pioneer ship in the mission of Christian civilization to the new world; she was about thirty tons burden."
