[87]
Andrew Sadowski was named in both the wills of his father and mother. He married
Catherine whose surname is unconfirmed. He may have lived in Washington County, PA for a
short time before moving to Augusta, Hampshire and Hardy counties (West) Virginia, eventually
settling near the present city of Moorfield, West Virginia. Andrew was killed by a white
renegade who was running with some Indians that were stealing horses.
Andrew had six sons and one daughter. The son Johathan died in a revolutionary war
POW camp. The sons Jacob and James were involved in the official surveys of Kentucky
Territory in the 1770's and all of them Emanuel, Anthony, Samuel, Jacob, and James eventually
settled in central Kentucky on lands from warrants. Emmanuel subsequently moved on to
Tennessee.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Not until Andrew Sadowski was killed in 1767 by a horse thief on the
South Branch of the Potomac River, then in Virginia, but now West Virginia,
did anyone mess with the spelling of his last name. He was a better penman
than his father, Anthony Sadowski, and one would believe that no one could
change it.
When he made out his will, he signed it Andrew Sadowski. But when his
widow, Catherine, took it to the probate court in Romney, Virginia, the clerk
spent it Sandusky. Looking for the will to check the signature is
practically hopeless. During the Civil War, when Union and Confederate
soldiers went to the courthouse for souvenirs to take home, the probate
records were rifled and someone took Andrew Sadowski's will. To the soldiers
the index to the court papers were not important and that's where you will
see that Sadowski's will was filed. In the second petition for the
establishment of Amity Township in Philadelphia County, you will find Andrew
Sadowski's signature and a fine one it was. There are also other records
where you can find his fine penmanship. I have not seen it, nor has anyone
else in our time, but I would bet that his father's signature appeared on the
first petition to create Amity Township. Nobody paid attention to it, least
of all the court clerk in the Philadelphia, who was no better than the clerk
in a backwoods courthouse, and Anthony Sadowski was a taxpayer of Amity
Township without us knowing it. We don't have Civil War soldiers to blame for
the loss of the first petition in Philadelphia. The papers were simply lost
and no one can find them just as with Andrew Sadowski's will. Thus the
descendants for the most part didn't have many samples to follow and the way
they spelled their last name varied from family to family.
Andrew's oldest son, Emanuel, and Emanuel's son and heir at law,
James, living as they did in the foothills of the Great Smoky mountains of
Tennessee, were not influenced by the other kin in Virginia and Kentucky. For
the most part, in the early days, their name was written Seduskie. When
Emanuel's widow, Rosannah, applied for a marriage license in Dandridge,
Tennessee, in 1997 to marry Mathew Phenix, the name was spelled Sandusky.
The variations went on.
One place it didn't, after cartographers got hold of it, was
Sandusky, Ohio. It first appeared as Sadouski, but not until New Orleans was
born in 1717. Then, in updates of the cartography, the name remained
Sandusky.
Contrary to what the residents of Sandusky, Ohio, think, the name was derived from an
Indian trader, Anthony Sadowski, who visited the area on Lake Erie in the early part of the 18th
century. A French fur trader, Peter
Bezallion, who went as far as the Mississippi River before 1700, lived in
the same area of Pennsylvania, as Anthony Sadowski and they visited each
other often. They traveled the same paths. Sadowski drew up a will for
Bezallion's wife which I found on microfilm in the Register of Will's offices
in Philadelphia. The ink on it was so faded that it was hard to read and not
good for reproduction.
Last but not least, had the descendants of this Polish frontiersman
stuck with the spelling of his name, Sadowski would rank among the top ten
Polish surnames in the country.
