I am a great-great grandson of John Andrews and his wife Sarah Maloy, both
buried in the Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery, as well as several of their
youmg children. One son who lived to maturity, Samuel Washington Andrews is
buried there also.
Another son, James Monroe Andrews, married Caroline Edwards and they moved
upon marriage in 1882 to Smith Center, Kansas. In 1901, they homesteaded
again to Holden, Alberta. They had eight children (one of whom died
stunt-riding a horse in Cora, Smith County, Kansas before they headed by
wagon to Canada). He died about 1920, having visited back to Greenville as
covered in the local newspaper.
These are the two branches today of the John and Sarah marriage, which
apparently took place in Greene County, Missouri. John Andrews gave both KY
and TN as places of his birth, anywhere from 1817 to 1820 according to
censuses while residing in Bond County. There is no evidence to date to
support any connection to other nearby Andrews families. DNA tests do not
find any Andrews relations at all. Not a typical Scots-Irish type. More
Scandinavian, German, Polish. Possible immigrants to Scotland centuries ago
via Doggerland, today under North Sea.
