Notes:

•  Son of Andrew Esslinger I (1748-1820). Andrew I (b1748) was the only child of Christian Esslinger who came with Andrew I to the US on an English ship "Patience" arriving at Philadelphia Sept. 19, 1749. They were of German decent. His mother was Christina, born in Sindolsheim, Germany in 1750 and died in Tennessee in 1840. His parents were married in Orange, North Carolina in Sept. 1775. - Eslinger.org & Ancestry.com

•  Andrew (b1748) died before his family moved to Madison County. His widow's father lived in Madison county along with his brother and at least one of his sons. So his widow sold their farm, hired a barge and moved, with the remaining part of the family to Madison County. The Esslinger decedents are many and they come from his blood line. - Heritage
