Ezekiel Andrews taught school in early manhood.  He learned the trade of blacksmith in Hartford at Force and Goodnow's carriage factory. He became a member of the First Church of New Britain, Conn., January 4, 1829, and his wife, August 7, 1833; and both were constituent members of the South Congregational church in 1842. They lived on West Main Street, two miles west of New Britain, at and on the home of his father and grandfather, and he ran the sawmill erected before 1768 by the grandfather, Hezekiah Andrews.  In 1868 it claimed the distinction of being the first mill on the Quinnipiac, although there were formerly two others higher up on the stream.  The mill is now demolished. Ezekial Andrews was a magistrate, selectman, militia officer, and held a high rank in the Masonic fraternity, and lived two years in Texas.  He was one of the firm of A. & E. Andrews, who for some fifteen years carried on an extensive business in the manufacture of cast-iron ploughs, wagons, and carriages, but in 1836 burnt out and failed.  He and his sons sold out all their interest in the premises in 1868, to Lester S. Hills of Hartford, and left for other business and localities.  He bought in Meriden in 1869, and resided there in 1871.
