Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Wm.2ADEB/1456.1.1.2 Message Board Post: my family records confirm those records I have researched in the census and that is that Joseph Andrews Jr. and Nancy Rice Andrews (his first wife, second wife was Jane Waggoner)had a son named John Ellis Andrews who was born in 1836 and died April 26, 1866. John E. Andrews first wife was Rebecca Rambo. His second wife was Martha A. This gets very confusing because Martha A. Miles was married to John Andrews, born about 1815 who was this John Ellis' uncle. John Ellis Andrews was a civil war casualty. He left two daughters Mary E. (born of his marriage with Rebecca Rambo) and Effie A (born of his marriage with Martha A.) Guardianship of Mary went to John E.'s father Joseph. Effie stayed with her mother. By the way, John Andrews born about 1815 married Martha Miles and born to them were William, Eliza J. (who married Thos. Simmons), Robert and Martha. The Pitman buried at Asbury is son of Richard Andrews and Molly Lane. My line is through Joseph Jr. and Nancy Rice. Their son, J. B. (Joseph Benjamin) is my great-great grandfather. I hope all of this helps. I am excited about this because I just returned from a week of onsite research. Here's a question I have though... Do you suppose that Robert D. Andrews is the oldest son of Joseph Sr. and Susanna Ellis or is a brother born of Richard Andrews and Molly Lane?
