Andrew Shenk/Andrew Sshank. Regarding the spelling of Shenk/Shank, Shenk was probably first most likely after the spelling changed from Schenk.They seem to have emigrated to Lancaster Co., PA.There are Andrews in my family tree, but they do not seem to match up with yours as the only one in that time frame was born about 1825 in MD and the family moved to Franklin Co., PA about a year later.He was married twice. However, both wives had a first name of Catherine.If you feel this information might be of help, check the book
"Biographical Annals of Franklin County" beginning page 378.There are other books that carry information from Washington Co., MD that do the Shank family also.I found most of my information at the Waynesboro, PA librarry which has an extensive geneology collection.
