Abigail Andrewes, Great, Great, Great.... Grandma

According to The Hovey Book, Daniel Hovey, the first Hovey in America, was married to Abigail Andrewes in 1641. Abigail came from a family of some distinction, being owners of the The Mayflower, authors of the King James Bible, and advisors to the king of England. Here is a digitized book, History of the Andrews Family, that goes into some detail of these relations.

Here are some points of interest:

• Abigail's father was Captain Robert Andrewes, master of the Angel Gabriel
  
• Robert's aunt, Mrs. Johane Andrewes, had two sons, Robert's cousins, Thomas and Lancelot.
  
• Thomas received 1/3 ownership of The Mayflower from his mother.
  
• Lancelot, the Bishop of Winchester, assisted in crowning Elizabeth and James I.
  
• Lancelot was 1st in the list of 54 learned men selected to make what is known as the "King James" version of the bible.
