Lived a while in Shepherdstown, Frederick County, Virginia (now Jefferson County, West Virginia), where he married his wife. Moved to to Pennsylvania in 1774 and ten years later settled permantly in Bourbon County, Kentucky, where he built what was known as the site of Hood’s Station (presently located in Clark County near Winchester).

Andrew Hood served in the Revolutionary War as a private under General George Rogers Clark, and it is thought that he came to Kentucky to take up bounty land he received for his military services. He was usually called “Major”, the source of that title having been earned as an Indian fighter, according to family tradition.

His descendants spread eastwardly from Clark County, settling mostly in Montgomery, Bath, Mason, Carter and present Greenup and Boyd Counties.
