Andrews' researchers: I have begun looking for a connection to explain the apparent 'family name' of Holcombe in my g-g-grandmother's brother's name: Lewis Holcombe Andrews Their father was LFW Andrews who was s/o John Andrews b. 1790s. There may be a Hartford, CT connection because although LFW spent nearly 20 years in western PA when he was small, after he became a preacher, he is the official on record for several Hartford marriages in the early 1830s. Lewis and his sister Caroline were born in the north (NY?) and then the family migrated south to SC and Macon, GA. LFW's children were: Caroline, Lewis, Helen, John, Jane (Jennie), Fanny, & Ellen (at least). His wife was Jane (nee Gray) from western PA. On the Holcombe genealogy site, I found John b. 1794, s/o William A Andrews and Rosette Case on the Holcombe site, but little is said there. Is more known or can anyone direct me to more possible resources? I would like to prove or disprove a connection. The Holcombe contact could not add to what I have found.
