Subject: GOLDRUSH MOST WANTED - W.F. ANDREWS

Hi everyone! I have a 49er, W.F. ANDREWS born in 1829 in Massachusetts who shows up once in the 1850 census of San Joaquin County (Stockton District) California, marries (supposedly) in 1850-51 to a Rebecca P. ? and has a daughter Mary L. in 1851-52, and then a son in 1853-54. He dies before 1860 in a mining accident (?) in the Kennedy Gold Mine in Tone City, Amador County, CA. His wife, Rebecca P. remarries a J.N.O. PALMER and I find them (with step daughter Mary L. TURNER, now married with a daughter, also widowed) and step-son Thomas Andrews in the 1860, 70, and1880 census. Is there any hope of finding a report on the death of W.F. ANDREWS in the mine fields? a gravestone? or a marriage record?
Thanks all!
