On May 30, 1831 in Randolph, North Carolina, he married Hilva Kelly (1815–1860) and they had the following children:
1. Moses Andrews (1832 North Carolina – 1862)
2. Linsey Andrews (1834 North Carolina – ____)
3. Lucy Ann Andrews (1834 North Carolina – 1880 Missouri)
4. Frankin Andrews (born abt. 1837 in North Carolina - ____)
Kathie Miller Sarchet, descends from Roland's son Franklin, who married Mary Elizabeth Whaley in Paulding Co, GA. They went to Arkansas and had two sons there James Roland Andrews and George Allen Andrews, and then came to Wise Co, TX in 1861 and had son John Harris Andrews , (Kathie's great-grandfather). Franklin disappeared...some say he fought in the Civil War, but there is no record of him doing so.....he shows up in TX one time in the 1861 Tax roll of Wise Co and not again. So wife Mary Elizabeth Whaley Andrews married again in 1869 to James Love Blewett and had 5 more kids. Moses son of Roland and Helve/Hilva married Mary Elizabeth Whaley's first cousin Mary Simmons Reeves (Mary Elizabeth Whaley and Mary Simmons Reeves...mothers are sisters Rachel Arthur Whaley and Mary Arthur Reeves).
5. Henrietta Andrews (8/31/1838 Carroll, GA – 9/22/1920 Cleveland, Conway, Ark). Henrietta married John A. Mills (1841-1822) and they had the following children: Nancy Victoria Mills (5/4/1859–10/10/1925); Rebecca Ann Mills (7/17/1863 GA – ____); Elizabeth "Lizzie" N. Mills (1865 TN – Aft 1930 Ark - married Jesse Jones); John P. Mills (10/1867–____ TX); William Monroe Mills (2/1869 Pauling, GA – ____); Delia Octavia Mills (5/12/1872 Van Buren Co, Ark – 9/25/1923); Rhoda L. Mills (3/22/1875 Van Burne Co, Ark – 8/24/1901); Ruth O. F. Mills (12/17/1877 – 8/10/1898); and Thomas Roland Mills (6/16/1880 Van Buren Co., Liberty Twn., Ark – 12/2/1963 Conway Co., Ark).
Several family trees have Roland Andrews (born 1786) as the father of the following additional children, apparently showing incorrectly that Hilva Kelly is their mother also, but the child Hilda apparently is confused with Roland's wife Hilda and Roland's son Roland (born 5/9/1818) may be from an earlier, undocumented marriage:
1. Hilda Andrews (1814 North Carolina – ____) [This is not Roland and Hilda's child, but instead Hilda herself.]
2. Rolen Roland Andrews (5/9/1818 NC–7/14/1900 Greensboro, Ark) [There is no documentation supporting this Roland Andrews as the child of Roland Andrews (1786)]
Furthermore, a blog by Carol titled the Andrews Family, states that Roland's marriage to Hilva Kelly in Randolph Co, NC is where the oldest children of his NEW FAMILY were born, possibly indicating that he had previously been married and had an earlier family, yet it is more likely that "new family" merely means his family after his marriage to Hilda. This all adds a lot of confusions to the family of Rowland Andrews (1786) and puzzlement concerning these two children who were born about the same time as Hilda, incorrectly shown as their mother.
Kathie Miller Sarchet states that Roland Andrews did not marry Helve/Hilva Kelly until 1831, so he and wife Helve/Hilva Kelly could not be the parents of Roland Andrews born 1818, or Hilda Andrews born in 1814. She has found no other marriages for Roland to another woman other than Helve/Hilva and if one existed then Helve/Hilva wouldn't be the second Roland's mother... she would be a step-mother. Kathie also says that, in 1860 Roland must have died before the census was taken and his estate was probated in 1863....wife Helve/Hilva in 1860 (looks like they have her listed as Hilly or maybe even Milly Andrews in Paulding Co, GA) has daughter Henrietta Andrews and a laborer John Mills living in her household (John will become her son-in-law by marrying Henrietta in March 1860....in fact the census taker has made a mistake because the census was taken in July 1860 and Henrietta and John are married in March...so the census taker listed Henrietta under the incorrect last name.
