Andrew remained with his mother during the 1900s and was in her household at the time of the 1910 U.S. Census.After the death of his mother in 1919, Andrew relocated to Donegal in nearby Westmoreland County to live with his married sister, Sadie Witt and her husband Jacob.
In about 1927, Andrew moved with the Witts to Mount Pleasant/East Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County. There, Andrew and his brother-in-law earned a living as farmers.
