Hi Tina, My ancestor was William Andrews (JR) who married Ann Brooks through their son Varney Andrews. This is according to the will of William Andrews (SR) the grandfather of Varney Andrews. (see the will of William Andrews (SR), dated 22 May 1770, from ACC 25828 Andrews Personal Papers, Library of Virginia). The maiden name of Ann Brooks is some what of a mystery. William Andrews (SR) in his will left property to ANN BROOKS, the widow of his son William Andrews (JR). Why did he call his daughter in law ANN Brooks and not Ann Andrews. According to the will of William Andrews (SR), his son William Andrews (JR) and Ann Brooks had sons Ephraim Andrews, David Andrews, William Andrews (111), and Varney Andrews. William Andrews (111) wrote will in dated 5 Jun 1776 (Halifax Co., Va Will Book 1, Pg 173, May Court 1777) in which he named his loving mother Ann Andrews, indicating that she had not remarried in 1776. So William Andrews (SR) in 1770 must have been calling his son's wife by her maiden name BROOKS. I have been trying to find the father and sibling of a ANN BROOKS with out success. DO YOU HAVE INFORMATION ON A DAVID BROOKS. Could he be Ann Brooks father or brother. My web site has a link showing my Andrews ancestors. I hope to hear from you. Sincerely, REGINALD L.
