Diana: ANDERSON: Approximately 1779 timeframe: "Before leaving for South Carolina, Pickens and Dooly called for reinforcements under CAPTAIN ANDERSON to patrol the Savannah in order to hold back the loyalist forces whenever they should attempt a crossing. Boyd changed his course of march, failed to encounter Pickens, and attempted to cross into Wilkes at Cherokee Ford, which he found protected by a blockhouse. He consequently went five miles up the river and effected a crossing by dividing his men into small groups and sending them across on rafts. Passage was hotly contested by a small force of a hundred Americans, and Boyd lost a hundred men, killed, wounded, and missing. Sixteen Americans were killed and wounded and an equal number were taken prisoners. Pickens and Dooly, hastening back into Georgia, were reinforced by CAPTAIN ANDERSON with his remaining troops and by Colonel Elijah Clarke with a hundred dragons." ANDREWS: "The Chivers house in Washington (now replaced by a modern bungalow) was the childhood home of Maude Ohl (ANNULET ANDREWS), a newspaper writer and novelist, who served on the staff of the Atlanta Constitution and later wrote stories of her experiences in the Far East with her husband." ANDREWS: Speaking of Washington, GA......."The town is the birthplace of one of the most prominent Southern women of the Confederate days, ELIZA FRANCES ANDREWS, the first woman to be elected to membership in the International Academy of Literature and Science. Well known during her life as a botanist and educator, Miss ANDREWS is remembered also for her writings about this section during the War between the States...........MAUDE ANDREWS OHL, a novelist and prominent newspaper woman, was born in this town and spent her early life here." "In The War-Time Journal of a Georgia Girl, ELIZA FRANCES ANDREWS described how this flag was made by her and her sister-in-law, secretly because her father, Judge Garnett ANDREWS, was an unflinching upholder of the Union. Later, when a flag had been selected to represent all the Confederate states, Miss ANDREWS' flag was used to line a blanket for a soldier. "Happy excitement prevailed in 1926 when the well-known teacher, writer, and botanist ELIZA FRANCES ANDREWS (1840-1931) was elected to the International Academy of Letters and Science, an honor never before accorded to a woman. Miss ANDREWS, one of the first graduates of LaGrange College, had taught for 15 years at Wesleyan College, had published a diary of her experiences during the War between the States. At that time she was quetly living in Rome, GA. Expressing deep appreciation of the honor, she declared that she was too old to go to Naples, Italy, to receive the award. Two years later when she returned to visit her native Washington [GA], she was honored by a celebration held by local civic and patriotic organizations as well as the public schools. Her former pupils in Washington planted a white oak in her memory on the public school grounds." (This may not be any of the Andrews that you're looking for but if so, there's a wealth of info included in the sentences.....great trails to research). Will try to add more tomorrow. There's a Garnett Andrews and Garnetts Andrews, Jr. listed several listings for WOOD. Diane
