When Andrew was 15 years old, he & his father moved by wagon to the Lebanon-Votaw community of Live Oak County Texas. As the oldest son he helped his father clear the land and build a house.
Later he worked at the Zachariah's Holiday ranch breaking wild horses. While working at the ranch he met and married Sarah Elizabeth "Betty" Holliday on September 5, 1881.
Their children were George William & Minnie Jane. Betty died on Aug. 12, 1885, during or shortly after giving birth to Minnie.
Andrew's second marriage was to Margie Lee Smith in Live Oak Co, TX on October 28, 1888. They had 14 children, including two sets of twins. Four children died in infancy.
One set of twins were born in a covered wagon that was parked on the Weeds place near a creek. Mrs. Weed delivered Velma and Thelma before the doctor could arrive.
Their children were: Ethel May, Marvin "Elmer," William King, Eva, Elvin, Thelma, Velma, Winnie Elvania, Carl Leslie, Eunice Ora Lee, & Doris Iola.
Andrew, like his father, was a staunch Methodist and a upright man who was interested in his children and his community.
He left Live Oak County in 1909 & moved to San Patricio County, where he had a sorghum mill near the town of Gregory. Around 1921 he moved to Sinton and became the Justice of the Peace.
Andrew died at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 25, 1934 from Chronic Glomerulonephritis & Cardiac Decomposition. He had lived 75 years, 9 months, & 3 days.
His son, Elmer, was the informant on his death certificate. He was buried on Nov. 26.
