In 1850 they moved to adjoining Adams county. Andrew assisted his father with farming until he married Malinda Cunningham in Rushville, Schuyler, IL on 26 Dec 1861. Then he began farming for himself and started his family. On 20 Sep 1870 they moved to Ross Township in Cherokee Co, KS, being the first to settle in their section of the township. He carried on general farming and stock-raising, and met with good success. He made all the improvements on the farm, setting out the beautiful hedges and orchards with his own hands. In politics, he was a supporter of the Democratic party. His religious convictions made him a member of the Christian Church. His was a life full of kind, helpful work for others. In his family he was beloved, and in his community universally respected. Some of this Bio is from "History of Cherokee County Kansas and its representative citizens, ed. & comp. by Nathaniel Thompson Allison, 1904". Their two children not linked to this memorial: 1.

Married Charles Calvin Swan Obituary: Published December 18, 1903 in The Cherokee Sentinel: On Tuesday morning the word came to town that A. J. Cunningham of Maplewood, a pioneer settler and a farmer, had passed away. For a year he has been a victim of kidney trouble and at times has suffered intensely. For the past few months he has seemed better, being able to make several trips to town. Funeral services were held on Wednesday at the Christian Church in this city by his pastor Rev. W. W. Willey. We were promised a written account of his life but have been disappointed. However, we know that he was a native of Illinois, and that when yet a young man he setled on the farm where he died. He was regarded as a good man, his word being as good as his bond. His wife survives him. His age must have been somewhere in the sixties. Interrment took place at the Cherokee cemetery. They were my great great grand parents.
