Career
Nothing is known about Andrew Mickle's youth and schooling. He married the daughter of a tobacco dealer and then worked in his father-in-law's company, which he later inherited. He became a rich man in the tobacco trade. Politically, he joined the Democratic Party and the Tammany Hall Society . In 1846, their leaders were dissatisfied with the work of New York Mayor William Frederick Havemeyer from their own ranks . So they named Mickle as their new candidate for mayoral election that year. He was then also elected to this office, which he held for a year until 1847. He renounced another candidacy. Until 1898, the urban area of New York essentially extended to what is now Manhattan .
After his tenure as mayor ended, Andrew Mickle continued his previous work in the tobacco trade. His company was now called AH Mickle & Co. He died on January 25, 1863.
