That's all I know about him. I have located his name in some court records from around 1820 or so. I don't have them in front of me right now, so that could be plus or minus a yr. William is a family name, since I believe that my great grandfather William R. Andrews is the grandson of Winston Andrews. It's a educated guess on my part, but I believe that Winston Andrews left NC about 1830-35 and arrived in Lowndes Co. MS (he's on the 1840 census). From there he went to Carroll County MS. 1850 census there shows him, and several others who I think are his sons, I'm still working on proving that. William R. Andrews' father was J.J. Andrews. I'm sorry I do not have any knowledge of the Andrews in NC, or the specific names you listed. Did any of those Andrews migrate to MS? There were several different sets who made it to this state, and may have been related, I just don't know. It has become a dead end for m! e and when I get time to start on research again, I would like to search more in Lenoir Co. Thanks for responding, Francine
