Judy, Interestingly enough, there may indeed be a connection. Andrew appears in the Wayne Co Ill state census in 1865 along with his son Joseph Marion. Listed with them is an Eliza Sexton, which has had me scratching my head. I have long felt that I did not have all of Andrew's children listed. When he left VA/WV he left with the 9 children mentioned, all of whom were born between 1831 and 1849. I since have learned that he had two wives that I know of, both named Mary. There is, I am sure, a strong possibility that he had more children, including an Andrew H. Jr. The fact that Eliza Ann has turned up twice with Andrew is fair circumstantial evidence to pursue it further. Thanks so much for the information! Every little clue helps to begin to form a complete picture. I appreciate your response!
