Andrew Supplee

Andrew Supplee, second son of the emigrant Andris Souplis, was born in

Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1688. Andrew was the ancestor of the branch

of the family to which the writer of this sketch belongs, and who has confined

his research to the territory of Andrew and his descendants. Andrew was

twice married. His first wife was Anna Stackhouse, and his second wife was

Deborah Thomas. There was but one child by the first marriage, a son,

Hance. By the second wife there were four children--James, Andrew, John

and Sarah. [Later researchers show six: Jonah, Andrew, John, Sarah,

Catherine, and Susannah Supplee.] Andrew purchased in 1712 and settled upon a

farm in Upper Merion, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) county, near the village of

Matsunk, and resided there the remainder of his life. He died in 1747, aged

fifty-nine years. His remains, with those of sixteen others, were buried in a

vault in Morris City cemetery, two miles north of Norristown, Pennsylvania.

His remains were moved to the family burial plot of their son Andrew's farm in Norriton Township, Montgomery Co., PA in 1766.
