It appears that, although Jones and Lucy were blessed with a degree of wealth (1860 Real Estate $12,000; Personal Property $17,375) and eleven children, their oldest child Mary Ann was unable to have children and other of their children died young and before marriage, leaving only the following children to marry and bless Lucy and Jones with grandchildren:

1, William Varney Andrews - 7 children
2. Horace Green Andrews - 1 child - Horace apparently died during the civil war shortly after marriage.
3. Lucy Rebecca Floyd - 5 children
4. Newton Lucas Andrews - 1 child- Newton died at age 39
5. Lucy Rebecca Floyd - 5 children

Children without offspring:
6. Mary Ann Andrews - died at age 66, married, without children
7. Benjamin Jones Andrews - died at age 17
8. Patsy Nicholas Andrews - died at age 37, apparently unmarried.
9. Allen Warren Andrews - died at age 11
10. Elizabeth Andrews - died at unknown age, apparently unmarried without children
11. Robert D Andrews- died at age 63 (1880 single stock trader)

Lucy came to Tennessee when young. Lucy's half sister, Elizabeth Warren "Patsey" Lanier, married the father-in-law [William Tucker ] of Lucy's son William V. Andrews ---i.e., Lucy's son, William Varney Andrews, married Tennessee Tucker, daughter of William Tucker, Patsey's second husband.

Birth Date: 10 Feb 1799
County: Brunswick
State: VA

ANDREWS, Jones married LANIER, Lucy, daughter of Nicholas Lanier and Sarah Bugg, on 26 September 1816, Williamson Co., TN

BUGG, Ephraim M. married LANIER, Elizabeth Warren,"Patsy" daughter of Nicholas Lanier and Martha Malone, married on 18 April 1814, Williamson Co., TN. After the death of Ephraim Bugg, Patsy married William Tucker, whose daughter, Tennessee Tucker, married Lucy & Jones Andrews' son, William Varney Andrews.

Tennessee Williams, the famous playwrite, whose name is Thomas Lanier Williams, is related through Rebecca Lanier, Tennessee Williams' great-great-great grandmother. Rebecca Lanier Williams and Lucy Lanier Andrews share the same great-grandfather, John Lanier. Lucy's great-great grandson, William Lafayette Andrews, Jr., was a gifted musician, a quality probably inherited from the Lanier side of the family, as the Laniers were the musicians to the Kings of France, then England, before coming to America.

ABOUT LUCY ANDREWS' SON [from The Goodspeeds History of Tennessee, 1886]:

WILLIAM V. ANDREWS, son of Jones and Lucy (Lanier) Andrews, who were born in Virginia in 1791 and 1803, respectively. They both came to Tennessee when young, and were married in Williamson County. To them were born eleven children, only three of whom are living at the present time. The father was an agriculturist, and one of the most successful of his day. He served in the war of 1812, and was a Whig in politics; he died in 1843. His widow and children lived on the old homestead until 1861, when the mother's death occurred. William V. was born November 1, 1824, and spent his early days on a farm. His father, though wealthy, believed in teaching children to work, and he was sent to the field with the servants and earned his living by the sweat of his brow. At the age of eighteen he took charge of the farm of 500 acres, which he managed until his marriage, in 1849, to Tennessee Tucker. To them were born seven children, four of whom are living. Mr. Andrews was a Whig previous to the war, but now votes the Democratic ticket. He owned 342 acres of land, but gave largely to his children. He has given his children good educational advantages, and contributes largely to the support of laudable enterprises.

LUCY LANIER'S ANCESTORS, from Carol Middleton's Genealogy:

The Laniers and Bassanos were artists, poets, writers and musicians of long ago ... and of now! A claim to fame for Emilia Bassano was that of having been, without a doubt, the mistress of William Shakespeare. The Lanier family was already linked to the Bassano family, since Nicholas Lanier, court musician, had married in his second marriage Lucretia Bassano, daughter of Anthony, and thus Emilia's cousin.

Huguenot, originally from Rouen, the Lanier family arrived at the court (represented by Nicholas, flutist and cornettist) in 1561. Nicholas also had six musical sons (the parallel between the two families is fascinating), including Alphonso, born in 1563 from his first marriage.

Alphonso Lanier tried unsuccessfully to have himself ennobled, particularly after accompanying the Count of Essex on his Irish Campaign. This permanent barrier to a higher social rank, and thus a better financial situation, would make Emilia say that her husband had ruined her and obliged her to ply the trade of courtesan in order to survive. Whatever the case, the poor Alphonso Lanier would never be more than Captain of Arms ... Alphonso, who died on September 20, 1613, used far more energy in attracting the attention of his protectors to his feats of arms, and in seeking financial support, than he did in plying his subaltern trade of flutist.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, he no longer appeared on the lists of musicians of her successor, James I. Emilia began her confidences with Simon Forman in 1597, on the occasion of one of the military expeditions of her husband, this time to the Azores. Simon Forman was reputed to be attentive to his clients, the relationship being part of the treatment which he advertised. What exactly would he have received from Emilia? We do not know very much: perhaps she let herself be drawn in by the astrologer, but not to the point of becoming his mistress. What is certain is that in 1600 all relations between them ceased, Forman addressing her very amiably as sorceress. Unfortunately for us, from this date on it becomes rather more difficult to trace the existence of Emilia Bassano. It is known that she stayed for a while with the Countess of Cumberland at Cookham. Then, four years after the death of Alphonso, she obtained authorization to open a school in the parish of St-Giles-in-the-Fields, from which she obtained some income toward living expenses. (The passing of her husband had given rise to a long lawsuit between Emilia and the Lanier family.) She lived the rest of her life in relative poverty, was arrested and evicted from her school-home in 1619 for non-payment of rent, and was buried on April 3, 1645, at St. James Clerkenwelle at the age of 66. Her son, Henry, who had in turn become flutist at the court, predeceased her in 1633. Such an existence, interesting but scarcely unusual from the point of view of the women of her time, does not justify her posterity. A beautiful courtesan, from a lineage of musicians, adored, then abandoned, Emilia is first and foremost the author of an undisputed masterwork of English poetry, Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum, published in 1611, when she was 42. The first woman published at the end of the English Renaissance, she reveals in this work not only an effective pen but also a strong character, which one would describe today as proto-feminist. Each of the nine poems which make up the collection is preceded by a dedication (sometimes lengthy) to women of her time: in order, Queen Anne, Princess Elizabeth, "all virtuous women in general", and the Countess of Cumberland, her protector. Passionately converted, Emilia opts nevertheless for a title which salutes God first of all as King of the Jews. In the contemporary context, how could one have any doubt about her background? Moreover, Emilia does not hesitate to reinterpret the Scriptures in her own way: the principal subject is a meditation on the Passion of Christ, attributing the responsibiblity for the Crucifixion to men alone. In a section entitled "Eve's Apologie in Defense of Women", Emilia gives Adam the responsibility for original sin, and deduces from this that today women must defend their religious, social, and political equality with men. This was in 1611, let us remember! Finally, the other claim to fame for Emilia Bassano was that of having been, without a doubt, the mistress of William Shakespeare. We say "without a doubt", though this theory, advanced in The Times by the historian A. L. Rowse, is subject to controversy. But all the evidence seems to suggest it. Emilia's mother, as we know, was named Margaret Johnson: she was the aunt of Robert Johnson, lutenist and composer, musician for Shakespeare's theater company. Another piece of evidence is the fact that the Lord Chamberlain, Lord Hunsdon, Emilia's lover, became in 1594 the patron of Shakespeare's company of actors. The scant facts which are known of Shakespeare's biography will never allow absolute certainty. Shakespeare's sonnets are made up of two parts: the first, dedicated to a young man he became very attached to, most probably the young Count of Southampton the second has for its theme the love of the poet for a woman of easy virtue ("The bay where all men ride"), though married, with dark hair and eyes, known as the "Dark Lady". We know that Emilia, Italian, was of Sephardic Jewish origin, thus of a very Mediterranean type. Another strange coincidence: the romantic character in the Merchant of Venice is a Venetian named ... Bassanio. Where did Shakespeare hunt up this name, and where did he get his detailed knowledge of Italy? Moreover, actors and musicians mixed freely at the Court, and one knows that Shakespeare, as well as Ben Jonson, collaborated with Thomas Lupo, another relative of Emilia's through marriage. Finally, Shakespeare, in one of these sonnets, calls his mistress "my music". Who, more than Emilia-Bassano by birth, Lanier by marriage-was immersed in music, even if we do not know if she herself was a musician? Emilia Bassano, poet, courtesan, mistress of Shakespeare? Whatever the truth may be, Emilia, as we see her, is a fascinating and mysterious woman who, today as yesterday, does not reveal herself completely and retains her independence. But she is worthy of being known, and above all serves as a guide to lead us into the musical life of England in the late-16th and 17th centuries. In 1994, a musician named Peter Goodwin, born in 1945, a member of the Philharmonia Orchestra, professor of sackbut and trombone at the Royal College of Music in London, member of His Majesty's Sagbutts and Cornetts, the English Baroque Soloists, and The English Concert, decided to change his name: from then on he would be called Peter Bassano. He was the distant descendant of one Giovanni Bassano. From henceforth, he consecrated himself to the repertoire of his forebears ...

Little else is known about Emilia Lanier's life between 1619 and 1635. Court documents state that, in this year, Lanier brought a lawsuit against her husband's brother, Clement, for money owed to her from the profits of one of her late husband's financial patents. The court ruled in Lanier's favour, declaring that Clement pay her £20. Clement couldn't pay her immediately, so Lanier brought the suit to court again in 1636 and in 1638. There are no records that verify whether Lanier was ever paid in full but it is known that, at the time of death, she was described as a "pensioner", someone who has a steady income or pension.

Biography of Aemilia Lanyer, by Kari Boyd McBride

Much of the information available about Lanyer's life comes from the casebooks of the astrologer Simon Forman whom Lanyer consulted about her husband's prospects for promotion. Forman tried, unsuccessfully, to seduce Lanyer. Many of his comments are deformed by jealousy and pique and must, therefore, be used as sources advisedly. Data for reconstructing Lanyer's life come also from parish records and government documents. This biography draws principally on Greer, Hastings, Medoff, and Sansone; Lewalski (various); Rowse (The Poems of Shakespeare's Dark Lady); and Woods (Dictionary of Literary Biography).

Aemilia Lanyer was the daughter of Baptista Bassano and Margaret Johnson. It is possible that she was the Margaret Johnson born ca. 1545-1550 who was the aunt of Robert Johnson (1583?-1633), lutenist and composer, musician of Shakespeare's company, and, later, musician to the court of Charles I (DNB s.v. "Robert Johnson"; Woods, Lanyer, 3-4).

Lanyer's father's family, the Bassanos, were court musicians who had come to England from Venice at the end of Henry VIII's reign. It has been argued that they were converted Jews (Lasocki and Prior; Rowse, "Revealed at Last," and ensuing correspondence; Greer et al., s.v. "Aemilia Lanyer"), but Ruffatti has argued persuasively that the family was Christian. Lanyer had an elder sister, Angela (d. 1584), and two brothers, Lewes and Phillip, who did not survive to adulthood (Lasocki and Prior 46). Lanyer's father died when she was seven and was also buried in Bishopsgate, on May 11, 1576 (Rowse 14).

Internal evidence of Lanyer's poems tell us that she was fostered in the household of Susan Bertie Wingfield, Countess Dowager of Kent (information also confirmed by Forman), and that she was later attached to the household of Margaret, Countess of Cumberland, and her daughter, Anne Clifford. Lanyer memorializes her time with them at the estate of Cookham Dean in "The Description of Cooke-ham." Lanyer must have been educated along with the noble girls whom she attended, for her work shows familiarity with poetic genres and verse forms and with the (Geneva) Bible (McBride, Engendering Authority, "Appendix").

As a young woman, Lanyer frequented the court of Elizabeth I and was mistress to Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, forty-five years her senior, who "maintained [her] in great pomp," says Forman, and provided her with an income of forty pounds a year (Rowse 11). (There is no conclusive evidence that Lanyer was William Shakespeare's mistress, an argument advanced by Rowse, nor, indeed, that she was the "dark-eyed lady" of Milton's sonnets, a theory advanced early in this century by John Smart.)

She became pregnant at the age of twenty-three, was paid off by Hunsdon, and married
her cousin by marriage, Alphonso Lanyer, a Queen's musician , on October 10, 1592
(Lasocki and Prior 106, 102).

The Lanyers were from Rouen and had come to England under Elizabeth (Rowse 14).
Alphonso was a member of the recorder consort originally started by the five Bassano
brothers that included Lanyer's father, Baptista. (Indeed, Alphonso was the recipient of
the royal stipend that had once been Baptista's [Lasocki and Prior 147].) Alphonso
served as gentleman volunteer in the Essex Islands Voyage of 1597 and had also done
service in Ireland (Lewalski, "God" 205; Rowse 11; Woods 213). He was one of fifty-nine
musicians who played at Elizabeth's funeral , and he moved at her death into the
service of James I (Rowse 18). He had been preferred by Elizabeth's closest advisor,
William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and granted a monopoly for the weighing of hay and straw
in London (six pence for every load of hay and three pence for every load of straw
brought into London and Westminster) (Rowse 19; Lasocki and Prior 108-09). When he
died in 1613, Aemilia Lanyer made over the grant to her brother-in-law, Innocent,
evidently with an understanding that she would continue to receive a portion of it,
though her right to that income was a source of later dispute.

William Lanier - Last Will and Testament

I William Lanier of Williamson County and State of Tennessee do make this as my Last Will and Testament in form as follows.

First, I give to my wife Martha C. Lanier my holdings of lands on which I now live during her life . I also give her choice of five horses or mules or a portion of each so as to make the number five.

I further give her choice of two cows and calves, twelve sheep, and all the hogs. I also give her all my household and kitchen furniture, all of my farming implements, wagons, Buggy as well as everything belonging to my family for her use and support.

The horses, cows and sheep that I may leave, except those above given my wife, I want sold by my executors hereafter named and appointed by me on a credit of twelve months and the money equally divided between all of my children.

At the death of my wife it is my will that all the personal property she may leave be sold to the highest bidder on a credit of twelve months and the money derived from such sale be divided equally between all my children.

Second, it is my will that at the death of my wife all such things that she may leave as beds and cloths, table cloths, hand towels to be divided equally among my children. They may agree and divide them themselves or get some disinterested parties to do the same for them so that each one may get about an equal portion.

Third, at the death of my wife I give to my son Thomas B. Lanier the tract of land that I bought from W. V. Andrews One Hundred and three acres more or less [Note: This land came from the estate of W V Andrews father, Jones Andrews, and is believed to have been the house lot of Jones' 400 acre farm . Jones Andrews is the testator,
William Lanier's brother-in-law, Jones having married William's sister Lucy Lanier.]

Fourth, I give to my son William O Lanier Eight Hundred Dollars in money, and seventy acres of land, it being on my south boundary line, it being a part of a tract I bought of Johnson Jordan and originally belonged to the tract that my son W. O. Lanier now owns and lives upon.

Fifth, I give to my son Benjamin A. Lanier the balance of my home tract containing two hundred and eight acres more or less, and he is to pay each one of my four daughters the sum of twelve hundred Dollars, their portion of my land estate.

Sixth, I appoint my sons Benjamin A. and William O. Lanier my trustees in trust for my daughters Mary E. Wilson ... [Two or three sentences faded out.] to them as they may stand in need, their land money will be due them one year after the death of my wife, if it be their wish my Trustees may buy them a home with their money so as to secure the right to then and their children for their use and benefit, I hold a claim against Nancy S. Bizzell for money paid out for her, amounting to Seventy Seven Dollars, that may be deducted from her share. I also hold a claim against Thomas J. Wilson for forty seven Dollars & Seventy two cents, which may be taken from Lucy H. Wilson's share (neither of them to be charged interest on the above claims).

Seventh, Martha E. Tucker may have her share of money as soon as it is due, which will be one year after the death of my wife. Martha has no children - should she die leaving none, it is my will that at her death or that of her husband Geo R. Tucker should he survive her, that all moneys they may receive from my estate be paid back to my executors and the same be equally divided between my other children.

Eighth, it is my will that my trustees above named act as trustees in trust for my son Thomas B. Lanier and see that he is not wronged out of what I give him, he is not competent to buy or sell without the consent of my trustees. And at his death what I give him must be equally divided between my other children provided he leaves no
lawful heir or heirs.

Benjamin A. Lanier is now living on the land which I have willed my son Thomas B. Lanier. At the death of his mother, I want Benjamin to stay where he is now living as long as my wife lives, if he can for he and Thomas to work all the land or rent it, so that they make ample support for my wife and two widow daughters, Mary E. Wilson and Nancy L. Bizzell and their children. All they make more than a support as above named they can divide between themselves as may be right and be not chargeable for any rent.

Ninth, any money I may have on hand or due me, I want my Executors to collect and loan it in safe hands so as to pay our funeral expenses, and divide the balance equally among all the children.

Tenth, I own a small tract of cedar land containing nine acres and some poles in Rutherford County Tenn. District No. 12 which if l do not dispose of myself, I want my executors to sell, and make an equal division of the money between all of my children.

Lastly, I appoint my sons Benjamin A. and William O. Lanier my executors to execute this my last will and testament.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal This the 8th day of February 1873.
