Andrew Killian son of Andreas Killian
Andrew Killian, Jr. is the 6th child listed in the Last Will and Testament of his father Andreas Killian.
Based on the order the children were listed in the Will it is believed Andrew Jr. was born
about 1735-1736, somewhere between Pennsylvania and North Carolina. He was granted 850 acres
of land on Killian’s Creek, Anson County, NC September 30, 1749. He could have been as
young as 12 in 1749. This was the same time his father and brothers John and Leonard
were granted land. It is noteworthy when the grant was sold Andrew Jr. and his father’s
signature both signed the deed of transfer.
Two of Andrew Jr.’s sons, Andrew and Daniel, are listed as heirs in Andreas Killian’s
Will receiving Andrew Jr.’s 1/7th share of Andreas’s estate. The mother of
grandsons Andrew and Daniel would seem to be the daughter of Simon Jonas.
The 1768 Rowan County tax list of William Coles shows Andrew Jr. and Simon Jonas together.
Andrew Killian, Daniel Killian and their sister Molly Killian were named in the
estate records of John Jonas, son of Simon Jonas. One would wonder why Molly was
not named in the Will of Andreas as her brothers were.
