Son of Noah Green Lee(1790-1853)a War of 1812 veteran and Sarah Harvey born in 1795. It is believed that he never married or had any children. He was a merchant before the war and was living in Henry Co., Missouri. Andrew first joined the Missouri State Guard and served as a junior second lieutenant. He served in the Battle of Elkhorn Tavern, Arkansas in march of 1862. Later signing up in the Confederate States Army in Springfield, Mo., he joined Co. "G", 5th Missouri Infantry Regiment and was promoted to 1st Lieutenant. Traveled across the Mississippi River with the new Missouri Division and served in the Battles of Farmington, Mississippi(May, 1862)then the Battle of Iuka, Mississippi(Sept.,1862) and then the Battle of Corinth, Mississippi(Oct.,1862) where he was shot in his right foot by a yankee minnie ball. He must have recovered and may have served in the siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi where he was captured in July, 1863. If paroled there he was sent to Alabama with many of the sick and wounded. One of his fold3 Confederate service cards says he died on Oct. 28, 1863 of congestive chills. Another source says Nov. 22, 1863. At any rate he did die from a sickness at Demopolis, Alabama while serving in the Confederate Army at the Confederate Wayside Hospital near the fairgrounds there. Most of the early Confederate deaths where placed in a Confederate Cemetery near the river on Webb`s bend. This cemetery is now under water after the dam was built in the 20th century. It is not known if any of the remains where removed prior to the flooding.
