Surnames: Andrews Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Wm.2ADEB/2885 Message Board Post: I am looking for any information about my great grandparents. They were John W and Rachel Andrews of Macon County MO area. John was born October 1850 in Iowa, unknown exactly where. John's mother is listed as born in KY and his father is listed as born in Alabama, but do not know if that is correct or not..... Rachel was born Deciember 1854 in Iowa, unknown exactly where. I do not know Rachel's maiden name, or any history of either of their families. Both her parents were born in IN according to 1900 census. They had 5 children according to the 1900 Fed. census. The children were; Mike Andrews born June 1877 (died in IL) Nellie Andrews born October 1883 (my grandmother, also died in IL, June 1969) Census says her name was Nellie, but she went by Nella, not sure which is correct) Florence Andrews born October 1885 (Roberts may have been her married name) Carlos Andrews born February 1887 (no information at all) John born February 2 1889 (no information at all) Also shows a Frank (brother of John) born April 1866....Frank apparently lived with the family at time of census. I would love to know anything about them, such as dates of their deaths, places of death and where they are buried.....I know very little about any of them except my grandmother. The only other info I could find was listings in a "mears" book....John listed book 2, page 143......Rachel listed book 4, page 26........I do not know where to even find these books.. I would appreciate any help you may furnish...thanks so much, Linda [email protected]
