The Andrews family moved to Rome, North Carolina District, Floyd County, Georgia, in 1851 or early 1852. They had lived in Troup, Butte (Butts), and Macon Counties, Georgia, and in Chambers County, Alabama, prior to their move to Floyd County.
Samuel Andrews was a farmer in Floyd County, Georgia and raised cotton for a livelihood. There were plenty of wild turkeys and possums. The people had to weave their own cloth and make their own clothes as there were no factories. Grandpa Andrews [Samuel] would make turkey traps and would catch from 1 to 4 turkeys at one time. There was a large river close by their home [the Coosa], it would only take a short time to catch an eel. They were fish, but looked like a large snake. There were many other kinds of choice fish. Samuel Andrews sold the 296-acre farm to J.P. Stevens on Sept. 10, 1869. The Andrews, Hall, and Beasley families moved to Utah via an immigrant wagon train in 1869.
