A namesake Lorrin A. Andrews (1857–1911), son of Rev. Claudius Buchanan Andrews (1818–1877) and Anna Seward Gilson (1823–1862), would serve in the Territory of Hawaii as Attorney General (1903–1905) and in the House of Representatives (1917–1921).[1]
The above seems wrong. Base on what I am finding in 1905 Hawaiian newspapers, there are two Lorrin Andrews other than this one. One was Lorrin Andrews, the attorney general, and the other was Lorrin A. Andrews, the sheriff. The parents and birth years attributed to this one seems to be the sheriff not the AG. Also we really don't know if one or the other was a namesake of this Lorrin Andrews or they just happen to share the same names.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:37, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The attorney general was born in 1870 in New York to William Andrews and Adele Oscanyan. Both seems unrelated to Lorrin Andrews, at least closely.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:04, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The AG may be his grandson (son of William Andrews (son of Rev. Lorrin, born 1842) and Adele Montgomery Oscanyan Andrews) while Lorrin A. Andrews was the unrelated sheriff who was son of Claudius Buchanan.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:22, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
