Note: Believe that Andrew is the son of John Diver as they are the only Divers in Monroe between 1820 and 1840(census years). A Mr. Diver was an early mail carrier between Cleveland, Eire and Ft. Meigs (Toledo area), this would have been by horseback and it was probably Andrew and not his father John. Andrew was born 1796 in New York unknown location. In 1820 (census) Andrew is shown with a female 16-26 years ( born 1794-1804 ) presumed to be his wife. Monroe County has a population of only 1,833 at that time and only 8,765 in the entire state (territory).In 1830 the county has a population of 3,187 and the state (territory) a population of 27,378. Andrew is listed with 1 male 5-10 years old ( born 1820-1825 ), 1 female under 5 years, 3 females 5-10 years and 1 female 40-50 years (wife). In 1840 the county has grown to 9,229. Andrew is listed as A.J. in Lasalle township with 1 male 15-20 years (John),2 females 10-15 and 1 female 15-20 years. There is no female listed that would be the age to be his wife, perhaps she had died before 1840. In 1850 Andrew is listed as being 54 years old, born in New York, occupation farmer and residing in Raisinville Township. Believe that he has remarried. His wife is named Fanny age 47, born in Canada (which Monroe would have been in 1803, unknown exactly where she was born). It also lists the following children; Henry Freden age 10, born in Michigan, Lucinda Diver age 8, born in Michigan and Nancy Ann Diver age 2, born in Michigan. It is believed that since Henry's last name is Freden he is not Andrew's child. . Children of Andrew J and first wife, 1 son and 4 daughters; John born Jan. 18, 1821 in Monroe Mary born about 1825 probably in Monroe Daug. born 1820-1825 Daug. born 1820-1825 Daug. born 1820-1825 Believe that his first wife was born between 1794-1804 unknown location and that she died before 1840, unknown when or where she is buried.
