Liber 110, p 259 (259-262) On 5 September 1815 Andrew was a measurer for the Port of New-York in New York, NY, NY.³⁶⁴ He died after 1821 at the age of 88 in New York, NY, NY. The last mention of Andrew found is the various property transactions during the year 1815. However, in the obituary of wife Elizabeth she is referred to his his wife - not widow. I am assuming that he outlived Elizabeth. The Evening Post; Issue: 4142, p 2; 12 Sept 1815: Andrew Norwood is part of group of Inspectors, Weighters, Guagers and Measurers of the port of New-York to Mr Samuel Terry, late Deputy Surveyor of the Port of New-York

NB: Andrew was not mentioned in his Aunt Cornelia Norwood's will as a child of her brother Richard.
