The Second child of David and Margaret was Andrew Jackson Gazaway. Andrew was born in Feb. 1863. His brother, Elsberry was killed at the age of 8 when a tree fell on him. His granddaughter (my Mother-In-Law) recalls that her grandfather had great guilt and moved to Texas because he was responsible for the death of a relative when he chopped down a tree and it fell on him.

Andrew Jackson Gazaway, prided himself of the fact that he could write, however he had difficulty writing his name with zz and dropped one of the z's. Therefore all of his descendants only used one z in their name.

Andrew married Rachel Jane Stone in February 1885. They had eight children.

They actually had 10 kids:

Note there is confusion on Andrew Jackson Gazaway's brother's page- Andy Edward Gazaway. Because of the similar names and same parents, some of Andrew Jackson and Rachel's children are mistakenly listed under Andy Edward. Rachel only married Andrew Jackson and had the about 10 kids (Almus dying at 1 week).
