Another poster has Edmund as the son of a James Andrews born ca. 1754. This poster gives your Edmund as having siblings: Sarah who married James Garner of Amite co., Ms. (my line), William, Warren, MAry, and James. While I have not been able to verify any of this (I am new to this Andrews line) it seems possible. With that being said, one cannot discount the fact that Warren is an unusual name at this time, and that it appears to be a family name amongst these Andrews. If your Edmund is indeed a son of this James, he had a brother named Warren, and a son Jacob Warren. And even further, Edmund's alleged brother James, mentioned above, had a grandson named Warren. Which brings me to my point. There was a Warren Andrews of Tyrell co., NC who died 04 May 1772., and had a son named Edmund. This Edmund should not be confused with the one who married Lucy Curry. But It seems highly likely that your Edmund, and my Sarah descend from this family. Warren Andrews will list the following names: Sons: Levi, Edmund and Etheldred Andrews. Daughters: Millee Blunt, Martha Pearse, Elisabeth Andrews. Wife: Sarah. Three sons appointed executors. Witnesses: William Ellis, Roben Sherrod. Proven before Jo Martin. This family should examined thoroughly, as I believe it holds the truth behind the origin of these SW Mississippi Andrews. Whenever I get the time to, I will research this more. I feel there's a lot left to do. Good Luck, SDM

My Andrews line also had a Warren Andrews. Ours was born in 1836 in Early Co., GA and died 1864 in Rock Island, IL (he was a POW there during the War Between the States). His parents were Frederick (c1800-1846) and Eliza (ODOM) ANDREWS Children: Baby girl with the family in the early census records but the family cannot identify her (either a child or Eliza's youngest sister) James Frederick b. 1830 Pulaski Co, GA Warren b. 1836 Early Co, GA David Crockett b. 1840 Randolph Co, GA Susan Priscilla b. 1843 Early Co, GA William P. b. 1844, Calhoun Co, FL Thomas Hull b. 1846, Gadsden Co, GL The family is back in Randolph Co, GA (the widow and all the children except the girl) by the 1850 census. We have not identified Frederick's family although we THINK he must be a brother or close cousin to James Highsmith ANDREWS whose widow, Jane, and their children lived very close to the widow Eliza and her children in Randolph Co., GA in 1850 and 1860. The children had similar names. James Highsmith ANDREWS was the son of William Hill ANDREWS and Leah HIGHSMITH. The earliest ANDREWS I find in that line was William ANDREWS (c1690) m. Catherine HILL of Halifax, NC. I haven't found any other Warrens in that line but..... Please keep me in mind as you look at this family and let me know if you find a Frederick!
