Andrew's father was Andrew Peterson Longacre, his mother was Elizabeth Longacre.

Andrew was the grandson of Anders Peterson Longacre, born 1657, and Magdalena Cock Longacre, born 1659, the first Longacre's born in America.

We have no proof of where Andrew & Hannah Longacre are buried. After exhausting the resources at hand we have decided The Mount Pleasant Meeting house Cemetery is the most likely place for his internment.

In the 1790's Andrew attended weddings at the Mt. Pleasant Meeting House.

There are other Longacre's buried here, several of the Fawcett's are here and Isaac Zane may be buried here. Andrew and his sons lived near Cedar Creek, within a short distance of this cemetery. Thomas Hayes Fawcett "The Fawcett Family of Frederick Co., VA" says: "Richard Ireson moved to Frederick Co., VA and joined the Hopewell MM. In July of 1750 he received a grant for 428 acres from Lord Fairfax. This land was then conveyed to Andrew and Hannah Longacre."

In 1790 this land was divided between Joseph Longacre, John Longacre, Andrew Longacre surrounded by the next generation of Fawcett sons. (According to the Fawcett Family of Frederick County)

In the 1750's people lived in Winchester at night and went out to their farms during the day. In 1754 Andrew & Hannah lived at the corner of S. Loudoun St. & W. Gerrard St., across from where the McDonalds is today. And probably next to where the Shenandoah Arts Council is located.

We have copies of deeds of the land Andrew owned, given by Lord Fairfax, the southern boundary was Cedar Creek.
