[This marriage record is the only historical record, and, apparently, the only source, showing John Andrews as David Andrews, Sr.'s father, and it is uncertain whether David naming his first son "John" has any relevance to this. All other sources show John's brother William A. Andrews as David's father, including James David Andrews' 1928 ancestry letter.]

From Goodspeeds History of Stewart County
Published 1887
Part 2: Early Settlement
The Cumberland River enters the southeast corner of the county and runs approximately in a northwesterly direction until it reaches a point beyond Dover, when it turns and runs nearly due north and parallel with the Tennessee River, which bounds the western side of the county. The Tennessee Ridge forms the water shed between the two rivers. The creeks of the county are Elk, Saline, Hickman, Standing Rock, Lick, Long, South Cross, Bear, Barrett's, Nevill's, Prior's, North Cross, Bullpasture, Cub, Panther, Bird's and Rushing's.
Stewart County was settled principally by North Carolinians, the first of whom came some time about 1795, that State having issued military grants to survivors of the Continental war, which called for large tracts of land lying in this county...
Probably the first settlers of the county were George Petty, Samuel A. Smith, Brittain Sexton, James Andrews, Samuel Boyt, and Elisha Dawson, all of whom came from North Carolina about 1795. Petty settled on the Cumberland River, near where Dover now stands; Smith in the same neighborhood; Sexton on Standing rock Creek, in the Tenth District; Andrews on Lick Creek, in the Seventh District; Boyt on Panther creek, in the Ninth District, and Dawson about five miles southwest of where now stands Dover...In about 1804 James Scarborough, Sr., James Scarborough Jr., David Andrews, Emanuel James, Ebenezer Rumfelt, Benjamin Boyt, James Boyd and John Scarborough came from Virginia, and found farms on which to locate in different sections of the county. Among other early settlers were ... John Polk (cousin of James K. Polk)...
The first settlers found the county infested with Indians, a majority of whom were hostile, and two block-house forts were erected for better protection from the savages. Those structures were of rough unhewn logs, calculated to withstand a furious and determined attack, and stood on Lick Creek and Tennessee River. Some time before 1795 a party of surveyors, composed of seven or eight men, who had come out from North Carolina to run the lines of tracts of land in the different military grants, were attacked one night while encamped on Spring Creek (now known as Dyer's Creek), in the Fifth District, and three or four were killed by the Indians. Thomas French, one of the few settlers of that early date, was one of the party, but made his escape. Depredations of all kinds were committed by the Indians, and as late as 1812 the Tennessee River had to be constantly patrolled by the militia to prevent them from making incursions and raids on the settlers.
Game of every description also abounded in the vast canebrakes and forests in the early days, and many a "bar" story has been handed down, one of which is as follows and is vouched for by Judge Scarborough, of Dover: some time in 1807 James Scarborough and sons left home to attend court in Dover, leaving the farm in charge of his wife, Mary. As they lived a long distance from the county seat, it was necessary to remain overnight. Along in the evening, after the men had taken their departure, a huge black bear was detected prowling around the place, and finally got in among the pigs. The dogs were set on it, and it took refuge in a large tree near the house. By this time it was dark, and Mrs. Scarborough could not distinguish the form of Bruin, so she made a large fire under the tree and sat up all night long to replenish it, in order to keep the animal in the tree, and when morning came the plucky woman got her husband's rifle and killed the bear, which was skinned, and the hide preserved as a trophy.
During the first days of the settlement there were no mills or stores nearer than Palmyra, Montgomery County, and thither went the settlers to mill and trade. A large amount of the stores used in those days were brought from New Orleans. The time required to make one of the New Orleans trips was about six months. They would load their furs, skins, and whatever produce they had on keep-boats, and float down the river. Exchanging produce for groceries, etc., they would start on the return trip. If they sold their boats they would walk home making the trip in about four months, and if the boats were brought back, as was frequently the case, the full six months were required for the trip, as it was necessary to draw the boats all the way home by hand. Among the early merchants were Mason Bennett, who in 1804 was granted license to sell whisky at his dwelling house. Bennett also kept a small assortment of general merchandise. James Russell kept a similar store, in what was afterward Dover, about the same time. At that time George Petty kept tavern at his house on the Cumberland River and John Stewart also kept tavern at his house on Wells Creek. In 1806 George Petty opened a tavern in Dover, and Philip Hornbarger kept a similar establishment at his house on Byron Forge Creek, and Phillip Wells kept a small store on Well's Creek. Nathan Skinner kept store in 1812 on Shelby Creek, and in 1815 John Ross opened store at his dwelling house.

David Andrews and and his son, David Andrews, Jr., are ancestors of Lt. General Frank Maxwell Andrews.
David Andrews, Jr. was buried in Limestone Co., AL in Andrews Cemetery, which was a part of his plantation where a grist mill formally stood. His wife, Eliza Ann Brown, was also buried there when she died in 1857, but her family in Giles Co., TN had her remains removed to the family plot in Davis Brown Cemetery. (By Martha Royals Swanner)
GRANDFATHER WILLIAM A. ANDREWS SR.'S WILL:
(1) To Ann Brooks, widow of William Andrews, deceased, one fourth part of 280 acres of land whereon she now lives during her natural life, then to her son, Ephraim. Balance of land (3/4 of 280 acres) to be shared between her three sons, David, William and Varney.
Item: Whereas my said Negro woman Nell is now with Child it is my will and desire that the Child so to be born be and belong to my grandson David Andrews to him his Heirs and assigns forever.
From Letter dated September 8, 1928, written by James David Andrews [Father of General Frank Maxwell Andrews after whom Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC is named]:
David Andrews, son of William Andrews, Jr., was born about 1765 and married Elizabeth King, October 29, 1787, Brunswick County, Virginia, and then removed to North Carolina and in 1815 removed to Tennessee, first locating in Sumner County and later settling in Stewart County. His children were David, William, Drewry, James, Ben, Polly (Mary), and Henry.
__________
William & Ann Andrews named a son David Andrews. David doesn't appear to have been a commonly used Andrews name. Did it come from Ann's family? Was David Brooks her brother? Is that why he purchased land from David Andrews? Did Ann need help in raising the family? There obviously were problems, because of the two entries regarding "binding out" the children. Ann was still alive because she is mentioned (named as his mother Ann Andrews) in William of Halifax's 1776 will. So she may have had some difficulty in controlling the boys. There was obviously no legal work done on William Jr's estate until David Brooks stepped in as administrator. The entries for his estate are all subsequent to that time. We know William Jr to have been deceased by 22 May 1770. Maybe David Brooks was sent by Ann's family to help clean up all the problems.

The indenture made the fifteenth day of December the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three between David Brooks of the County of Mecklenburg one part and Pines Ingram of the County of Mecallres? part...a parcel of land containing by estimation eighty acres ...being in the said county of Mecklenburg on the South side of Meherrin River and bounded as followeth, Viz beginning at a Sugar tree on the river thence straight line to corner Post Oak in Ephraim Andrews line thence along David Brooks line to corner peach tree thence a straight line to a beech on the above said River hence up the same as the ?? to the beginning which bound includes one acre on which the said Ingram Mill stands. ...Wit: William Lurette, John Luritte Thomas Ingram, John Young. Proved at Court in Mecklenburg County 8th day of August 1796.
Back to William Sr.'s will.
If William Jr's widow Ann was remarried why would William Sr have left her a portion of the property? She would no longer be his concern. Instead he would have deeded the entire portion to William's children. Doesn't this seem logical?
The John Brooks, father of David Brooks in 1764 Lunenburg tithables is a person who needs to be tracked. If this is the same John & David we are following, then David living in his father's household in 1764 makes him appear to be a bit young to have married Ann, widow of William Jr.

Back to William Sr. calling his dau-in-law Ann Brooks in the will. Reading the deeds of William Sr we see other unusual wordings this man has used in his legal documents. We have labored over some of those previously. Mentioning her by her maiden name could have been his way of providing positive identification. He may also have been accustomed to referring to her in that manner. I sometimes still refer to people I have known for many years by their maiden name when I am discussing that person with others who have known her equally long. I think it would be unusual for Brooks to have been her middle name. I haven't seen many (if any) references to people by a first and a middle name during this time period in this part of the country. Has anyone else?
If William Andrews Jr were still alive in early May 1770 & deceased in late May 1770 then it seems unlikely that Ann would have married in the interim. Even more compelling is the fact that her son William Andrews referred to her as Ann Andrews (not Ann Brooks) in 1776.
Halifax Co, VA Will Book 1, p. 173, May Court 1777

[This marriage record is the only historical record, and, apparently, the only source, showing John Andrews as David Andrews, Sr.'s father, and it is uncertain whether David naming his first son "John" has any relevance to this. All other sources show John's brother William A. Andrews as David's father, including James David Andrews' 1928 ancestry letter.]

David Andrews settled in Stewart County, TN in 1804
From Goodspeeds History of Stewart County
Published 1887
Part 2: Early Settlement
The Cumberland River enters the southeast corner of the county and runs approximately in a northwesterly direction until it reaches a point beyond Dover, when it turns and runs nearly due north and parallel with the Tennessee River, which bounds the western side of the county. The Tennessee Ridge forms the water shed between the two rivers. The creeks of the county are Elk, Saline, Hickman, Standing Rock, Lick, Long, South Cross, Bear, Barrett's, Nevill's, Prior's, North Cross, Bullpasture, Cub, Panther, Bird's and Rushing's.
Stewart County was settled principally by North Carolinians, the first of whom came some time about 1795, that State having issued military grants to survivors of the Continental war, which called for large tracts of land lying in this county...
Probably the first settlers of the county were George Petty, Samuel A. Smith, Brittain Sexton, James Andrews, Samuel Boyt, and Elisha Dawson, all of whom came from North Carolina about 1795. Petty settled on the Cumberland River, near where Dover now stands; Smith in the same neighborhood; Sexton on Standing rock Creek, in the Tenth District; Andrews on Lick Creek, in the Seventh District; Boyt on Panther creek, in the Ninth District, and Dawson about five miles southwest of where now stands Dover...In about 1804 James Scarborough, Sr., James Scarborough Jr., David Andrews, Emanuel James, Ebenezer Rumfelt, Benjamin Boyt, James Boyd and John Scarborough came from Virginia, and found farms on which to locate in different sections of the county. Among other early settlers were ... John Polk (cousin of James K. Polk)...
The first settlers found the county infested with Indians, a majority of whom were hostile, and two block-house forts were erected for better protection from the savages. Those structures were of rough unhewn logs, calculated to withstand a furious and determined attack, and stood on Lick Creek and Tennessee River. Some time before 1795 a party of surveyors, composed of seven or eight men, who had come out from North Carolina to run the lines of tracts of land in the different military grants, were attacked one night while encamped on Spring Creek (now known as Dyer's Creek), in the Fifth District, and three or four were killed by the Indians. Thomas French, one of the few settlers of that early date, was one of the party, but made his escape. Depredations of all kinds were committed by the Indians, and as late as 1812 the Tennessee River had to be constantly patrolled by the militia to prevent them from making incursions and raids on the settlers.
Game of every description also abounded in the vast canebrakes and forests in the early days, and many a "bar" story has been handed down, one of which is as follows and is vouched for by Judge Scarborough, of Dover: some time in 1807 James Scarborough and sons left home to attend court in Dover, leaving the farm in charge of his wife, Mary. As they lived a long distance from the county seat, it was necessary to remain overnight. Along in the evening, after the men had taken their departure, a huge black bear was detected prowling around the place, and finally got in among the pigs. The dogs were set on it, and it took refuge in a large tree near the house. By this time it was dark, and Mrs. Scarborough could not distinguish the form of Bruin, so she made a large fire under the tree and sat up all night long to replenish it, in order to keep the animal in the tree, and when morning came the plucky woman got her husband's rifle and killed the bear, which was skinned, and the hide preserved as a trophy.
During the first days of the settlement there were no mills or stores nearer than Palmyra, Montgomery County, and thither went the settlers to mill and trade. A large amount of the stores used in those days were brought from New Orleans. The time required to make one of the New Orleans trips was about six months. They would load their furs, skins, and whatever produce they had on keep-boats, and float down the river. Exchanging produce for groceries, etc., they would start on the return trip. If they sold their boats they would walk home making the trip in about four months, and if the boats were brought back, as was frequently the case, the full six months were required for the trip, as it was necessary to draw the boats all the way home by hand. Among the early merchants were Mason Bennett, who in 1804 was granted license to sell whisky at his dwelling house. Bennett also kept a small assortment of general merchandise. James Russell kept a similar store, in what was afterward Dover, about the same time. At that time George Petty kept tavern at his house on the Cumberland River and John Stewart also kept tavern at his house on Wells Creek. In 1806 George Petty opened a tavern in Dover, and Philip Hornbarger kept a similar establishment at his house on Byron Forge Creek, and Phillip Wells kept a small store on Well's Creek. Nathan Skinner kept store in 1812 on Shelby Creek, and in 1815 John Ross opened store at his dwelling house.

David Andrews and and his son, David Andrews, Jr., are ancestors of Lt. General Frank Maxwell Andrews.
David Andrews, Jr. was buried in Limestone Co., AL in Andrews Cemetery, which was a part of his plantation where a grist mill formally stood. His wife, Eliza Ann Brown, was also buried there when she died in 1857, but her family in Giles Co., TN had her remains removed to the family plot in Davis Brown Cemetery. (By Martha Royals Swanner)
GRANDFATHER WILLIAM A. ANDREWS SR.'S WILL:
(1) To Ann Brooks, widow of William Andrews, deceased, one fourth part of 280 acres of land whereon she now lives during her natural life, then to her son, Ephraim. Balance of land (3/4 of 280 acres) to be shared between her three sons, David, William and Varney.
Item: Whereas my said Negro woman Nell is now with Child it is my will and desire that the Child so to be born be and belong to my grandson David Andrews to him his Heirs and assigns forever.
From Letter dated September 8, 1928, written by James David Andrews [Father of General Frank Maxwell Andrews after whom Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC is named]:
David Andrews, son of William Andrews, Jr., was born about 1765 and married Elizabeth King, October 29, 1787, Brunswick County, Virginia, and then removed to North Carolina and in 1815 removed to Tennessee, first locating in Sumner County and later settling in Stewart County. His children were David, William, Drewry, James, Ben, Polly (Mary), and Henry.
__________
William & Ann Andrews named a son David Andrews. David doesn't appear to have been a commonly used Andrews name. Did it come from Ann's family? Was David Brooks her brother? Is that why he purchased land from David Andrews? Did Ann need help in raising the family? There obviously were problems, because of the two entries regarding "binding out" the children. Ann was still alive because she is mentioned (named as his mother Ann Andrews) in William of Halifax's 1776 will. So she may have had some difficulty in controlling the boys. There was obviously no legal work done on William Jr's estate until David Brooks stepped in as administrator. The entries for his estate are all subsequent to that time. We know William Jr to have been deceased by 22 May 1770. Maybe David Brooks was sent by Ann's family to help clean up all the problems.

John Brooks of Lunenburg County conveys on 16 September 1774 to Dinwiddie Crawford & Company and Henry Deloney, one acre of land bounded by David Brooks and the Meherrin River, together with a mill on the said river.
Mecklenburg Co, VA Deed Book 9, p. 122-123
The indenture made the fifteenth day of December the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three between David Brooks of the County of Mecklenburg one part and Pines Ingram of the County of Mecallres? part...a parcel of land containing by estimation eighty acres ...being in the said county of Mecklenburg on the South side of Meherrin River and bounded as followeth, Viz beginning at a Sugar tree on the river thence straight line to corner Post Oak in Ephraim Andrews line thence along David Brooks line to corner peach tree thence a straight line to a beech on the above said River hence up the same as the ?? to the beginning which bound includes one acre on which the said Ingram Mill stands. ...Wit: William Lurette, John Luritte Thomas Ingram, John Young. Proved at Court in Mecklenburg County 8th day of August 1796.
Back to William Sr.'s will.
If William Jr's widow Ann was remarried why would William Sr have left her a portion of the property? She would no longer be his concern. Instead he would have deeded the entire portion to William's children. Doesn't this seem logical?
The John Brooks, father of David Brooks in 1764 Lunenburg tithables is a person who needs to be tracked. If this is the same John & David we are following, then David living in his father's household in 1764 makes him appear to be a bit young to have married Ann, widow of William Jr.

Back to William Sr. calling his dau-in-law Ann Brooks in the will. Reading the deeds of William Sr we see other unusual wordings this man has used in his legal documents. We have labored over some of those previously. Mentioning her by her maiden name could have been his way of providing positive identification. He may also have been accustomed to referring to her in that manner. I sometimes still refer to people I have known for many years by their maiden name when I am discussing that person with others who have known her equally long. I think it would be unusual for Brooks to have been her middle name. I haven't seen many (if any) references to people by a first and a middle name during this time period in this part of the country. Has anyone else?
If William Andrews Jr were still alive in early May 1770 & deceased in late May 1770 then it seems unlikely that Ann would have married in the interim. Even more compelling is the fact that her son William Andrews referred to her as Ann Andrews (not Ann Brooks) in 1776.

From Goodspeeds History of Stewart County
Published 1887
Part 2: Early Settlement
The Cumberland River enters the southeast corner of the county and runs approximately in a northwesterly direction until it reaches a point beyond Dover, when it turns and runs nearly due north and parallel with the Tennessee River, which bounds the western side of the county. The Tennessee Ridge forms the water shed between the two rivers. The creeks of the county are Elk, Saline, Hickman, Standing Rock, Lick, Long, South Cross, Bear, Barrett's, Nevill's, Prior's, North Cross, Bullpasture, Cub, Panther, Bird's and Rushing's.
Stewart County was settled principally by North Carolinians, the first of whom came some time about 1795, that State having issued military grants to survivors of the Continental war, which called for large tracts of land lying in this county...
Probably the first settlers of the county were George Petty, Samuel A. Smith, Brittain Sexton, James Andrews, Samuel Boyt, and Elisha Dawson, all of whom came from North Carolina about 1795. Petty settled on the Cumberland River, near where Dover now stands; Smith in the same neighborhood; Sexton on Standing rock Creek, in the Tenth District; Andrews on Lick Creek, in the Seventh District; Boyt on Panther creek, in the Ninth District, and Dawson about five miles southwest of where now stands Dover...In about 1804 James Scarborough, Sr., James Scarborough Jr., David Andrews, Emanuel James, Ebenezer Rumfelt, Benjamin Boyt, James Boyd and John Scarborough came from Virginia, and found farms on which to locate in different sections of the county. Among other early settlers were ... John Polk (cousin of James K. Polk)...
The first settlers found the county infested with Indians, a majority of whom were hostile, and two block-house forts were erected for better protection from the savages. Those structures were of rough unhewn logs, calculated to withstand a furious and determined attack, and stood on Lick Creek and Tennessee River. Some time before 1795 a party of surveyors, composed of seven or eight men, who had come out from North Carolina to run the lines of tracts of land in the different military grants, were attacked one night while encamped on Spring Creek (now known as Dyer's Creek), in the Fifth District, and three or four were killed by the Indians. Thomas French, one of the few settlers of that early date, was one of the party, but made his escape. Depredations of all kinds were committed by the Indians, and as late as 1812 the Tennessee River had to be constantly patrolled by the militia to prevent them from making incursions and raids on the settlers.
Game of every description also abounded in the vast canebrakes and forests in the early days, and many a "bar" story has been handed down, one of which is as follows and is vouched for by Judge Scarborough, of Dover: some time in 1807 James Scarborough and sons left home to attend court in Dover, leaving the farm in charge of his wife, Mary. As they lived a long distance from the county seat, it was necessary to remain overnight. Along in the evening, after the men had taken their departure, a huge black bear was detected prowling around the place, and finally got in among the pigs. The dogs were set on it, and it took refuge in a large tree near the house. By this time it was dark, and Mrs. Scarborough could not distinguish the form of Bruin, so she made a large fire under the tree and sat up all night long to replenish it, in order to keep the animal in the tree, and when morning came the plucky woman got her husband's rifle and killed the bear, which was skinned, and the hide preserved as a trophy.
During the first days of the settlement there were no mills or stores nearer than Palmyra, Montgomery County, and thither went the settlers to mill and trade. A large amount of the stores used in those days were brought from New Orleans. The time required to make one of the New Orleans trips was about six months. They would load their furs, skins, and whatever produce they had on keep-boats, and float down the river. Exchanging produce for groceries, etc., they would start on the return trip. If they sold their boats they would walk home making the trip in about four months, and if the boats were brought back, as was frequently the case, the full six months were required for the trip, as it was necessary to draw the boats all the way home by hand. Among the early merchants were Mason Bennett, who in 1804 was granted license to sell whisky at his dwelling house. Bennett also kept a small assortment of general merchandise. James Russell kept a similar store, in what was afterward Dover, about the same time. At that time George Petty kept tavern at his house on the Cumberland River and John Stewart also kept tavern at his house on Wells Creek. In 1806 George Petty opened a tavern in Dover, and Philip Hornbarger kept a similar establishment at his house on Byron Forge Creek, and Phillip Wells kept a small store on Well's Creek. Nathan Skinner kept store in 1812 on Shelby Creek, and in 1815 John Ross opened store at his dwelling house.

David Andrews and and his son, David Andrews, Jr., are ancestors of Lt. General Frank Maxwell Andrews.
David Andrews, Jr. was buried in Limestone Co., AL in Andrews Cemetery, which was a part of his plantation where a grist mill formally stood. His wife, Eliza Ann Brown, was also buried there when she died in 1857, but her family in Giles Co., TN had her remains removed to the family plot in Davis Brown Cemetery. (By Martha Royals Swanner)
GRANDFATHER WILLIAM A. ANDREWS SR.'S WILL:
(1) To Ann Brooks, widow of William Andrews, deceased, one fourth part of 280 acres of land whereon she now lives during her natural life, then to her son, Ephraim. Balance of land (3/4 of 280 acres) to be shared between her three sons, David, William and Varney.
Item: Whereas my said Negro woman Nell is now with Child it is my will and desire that the Child so to be born be and belong to my grandson David Andrews to him his Heirs and assigns forever.
From Letter dated September 8, 1928, written by James David Andrews [Father of General Frank Maxwell Andrews after whom Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC is named]:
David Andrews, son of William Andrews, Jr., was born about 1765 and married Elizabeth King, October 29, 1787, Brunswick County, Virginia, and then removed to North Carolina and in 1815 removed to Tennessee, first locating in Sumner County and later settling in Stewart County. His children were David, William, Drewry, James, Ben, Polly (Mary), and Henry.
__________
William & Ann Andrews named a son David Andrews. David doesn't appear to have been a commonly used Andrews name. Did it come from Ann's family? Was David Brooks her brother? Is that why he purchased land from David Andrews? Did Ann need help in raising the family? There obviously were problems, because of the two entries regarding "binding out" the children. Ann was still alive because she is mentioned (named as his mother Ann Andrews) in William of Halifax's 1776 will. So she may have had some difficulty in controlling the boys. There was obviously no legal work done on William Jr's estate until David Brooks stepped in as administrator. The entries for his estate are all subsequent to that time. We know William Jr to have been deceased by 22 May 1770. Maybe David Brooks was sent by Ann's family to help clean up all the problems.

Back to William Sr.'s will.
If William Jr's widow Ann was remarried why would William Sr have left her a portion of the property? She would no longer be his concern. Instead he would have deeded the entire portion to William's children. Doesn't this seem logical?
The John Brooks, father of David Brooks in 1764 Lunenburg tithables is a person who needs to be tracked. If this is the same John & David we are following, then David living in his father's household in 1764 makes him appear to be a bit young to have married Ann, widow of William Jr.

Back to William Sr. calling his dau-in-law Ann Brooks in the will. Reading the deeds of William Sr we see other unusual wordings this man has used in his legal documents. We have labored over some of those previously. Mentioning her by her maiden name could have been his way of providing positive identification. He may also have been accustomed to referring to her in that manner. I sometimes still refer to people I have known for many years by their maiden name when I am discussing that person with others who have known her equally long. I think it would be unusual for Brooks to have been her middle name. I haven't seen many (if any) references to people by a first and a middle name during this time period in this part of the country. Has anyone else?
If William Andrews Jr were still alive in early May 1770 & deceased in late May 1770 then it seems unlikely that Ann would have married in the interim. Even more compelling is the fact that her son William Andrews referred to her as Ann Andrews (not Ann Brooks) in 1776.

From Goodspeeds History of Stewart County
Published 1887
Part 2: Early Settlement
The Cumberland River enters the southeast corner of the county and runs approximately in a northwesterly direction until it reaches a point beyond Dover, when it turns and runs nearly due north and parallel with the Tennessee River, which bounds the western side of the county. The Tennessee Ridge forms the water shed between the two rivers. The creeks of the county are Elk, Saline, Hickman, Standing Rock, Lick, Long, South Cross, Bear, Barrett's, Nevill's, Prior's, North Cross, Bullpasture, Cub, Panther, Bird's and Rushing's.
Stewart County was settled principally by North Carolinians, the first of whom came some time about 1795, that State having issued military grants to survivors of the Continental war, which called for large tracts of land lying in this county...
Probably the first settlers of the county were George Petty, Samuel A. Smith, Brittain Sexton, James Andrews, Samuel Boyt, and Elisha Dawson, all of whom came from North Carolina about 1795. Petty settled on the Cumberland River, near where Dover now stands; Smith in the same neighborhood; Sexton on Standing rock Creek, in the Tenth District; Andrews on Lick Creek, in the Seventh District; Boyt on Panther creek, in the Ninth District, and Dawson about five miles southwest of where now stands Dover...In about 1804 James Scarborough, Sr., James Scarborough Jr., David Andrews, Emanuel James, Ebenezer Rumfelt, Benjamin Boyt, James Boyd and John Scarborough came from Virginia, and found farms on which to locate in different sections of the county. Among other early settlers were ... John Polk (cousin of James K. Polk)...
The first settlers found the county infested with Indians, a majority of whom were hostile, and two block-house forts were erected for better protection from the savages. Those structures were of rough unhewn logs, calculated to withstand a furious and determined attack, and stood on Lick Creek and Tennessee River. Some time before 1795 a party of surveyors, composed of seven or eight men, who had come out from North Carolina to run the lines of tracts of land in the different military grants, were attacked one night while encamped on Spring Creek (now known as Dyer's Creek), in the Fifth District, and three or four were killed by the Indians. Thomas French, one of the few settlers of that early date, was one of the party, but made his escape. Depredations of all kinds were committed by the Indians, and as late as 1812 the Tennessee River had to be constantly patrolled by the militia to prevent them from making incursions and raids on the settlers.
Game of every description also abounded in the vast canebrakes and forests in the early days, and many a "bar" story has been handed down, one of which is as follows and is vouched for by Judge Scarborough, of Dover: some time in 1807 James Scarborough and sons left home to attend court in Dover, leaving the farm in charge of his wife, Mary. As they lived a long distance from the county seat, it was necessary to remain overnight. Along in the evening, after the men had taken their departure, a huge black bear was detected prowling around the place, and finally got in among the pigs. The dogs were set on it, and it took refuge in a large tree near the house. By this time it was dark, and Mrs. Scarborough could not distinguish the form of Bruin, so she made a large fire under the tree and sat up all night long to replenish it, in order to keep the animal in the tree, and when morning came the plucky woman got her husband's rifle and killed the bear, which was skinned, and the hide preserved as a trophy.
During the first days of the settlement there were no mills or stores nearer than Palmyra, Montgomery County, and thither went the settlers to mill and trade. A large amount of the stores used in those days were brought from New Orleans. The time required to make one of the New Orleans trips was about six months. They would load their furs, skins, and whatever produce they had on keep-boats, and float down the river. Exchanging produce for groceries, etc., they would start on the return trip. If they sold their boats they would walk home making the trip in about four months, and if the boats were brought back, as was frequently the case, the full six months were required for the trip, as it was necessary to draw the boats all the way home by hand. Among the early merchants were Mason Bennett, who in 1804 was granted license to sell whisky at his dwelling house. Bennett also kept a small assortment of general merchandise. James Russell kept a similar store, in what was afterward Dover, about the same time. At that time George Petty kept tavern at his house on the Cumberland River and John Stewart also kept tavern at his house on Wells Creek. In 1806 George Petty opened a tavern in Dover, and Philip Hornbarger kept a similar establishment at his house on Byron Forge Creek, and Phillip Wells kept a small store on Well's Creek. Nathan Skinner kept store in 1812 on Shelby Creek, and in 1815 John Ross opened store at his dwelling house.

David Andrews and and his son, David Andrews, Jr., are ancestors of Lt. General Frank Maxwell Andrews.
David Andrews, Jr. was buried in Limestone Co., AL in Andrews Cemetery, which was a part of his plantation where a grist mill formally stood. His wife, Eliza Ann Brown, was also buried there when she died in 1857, but her family in Giles Co., TN had her remains removed to the family plot in Davis Brown Cemetery. (By Martha Royals Swanner)
GRANDFATHER WILLIAM A. ANDREWS SR.'S WILL:
(1) To Ann Brooks, widow of William Andrews, deceased, one fourth part of 280 acres of land whereon she now lives during her natural life, then to her son, Ephraim. Balance of land (3/4 of 280 acres) to be shared between her three sons, David, William and Varney.
Item: Whereas my said Negro woman Nell is now with Child it is my will and desire that the Child so to be born be and belong to my grandson David Andrews to him his Heirs and assigns forever.
From Letter dated September 8, 1928, written by James David Andrews [Father of General Frank Maxwell Andrews after whom Andrews Air Force Base near Washington, DC is named]:
David Andrews, son of William Andrews, Jr., was born about 1765 and married Elizabeth King, October 29, 1787, Brunswick County, Virginia, and then removed to North Carolina and in 1815 removed to Tennessee, first locating in Sumner County and later settling in Stewart County. His children were David, William, Drewry, James, Ben, Polly (Mary), and Henry.
__________
William & Ann Andrews named a son David Andrews. David doesn't appear to have been a commonly used Andrews name. Did it come from Ann's family? Was David Brooks her brother? Is that why he purchased land from David Andrews? Did Ann need help in raising the family? There obviously were problems, because of the two entries regarding "binding out" the children. Ann was still alive because she is mentioned (named as his mother Ann Andrews) in William of Halifax's 1776 will. So she may have had some difficulty in controlling the boys. There was obviously no legal work done on William Jr's estate until David Brooks stepped in as administrator. The entries for his estate are all subsequent to that time. We know William Jr to have been deceased by 22 May 1770. Maybe David Brooks was sent by Ann's family to help clean up all the problems.

Back to William Sr.'s will.
If William Jr's widow Ann was remarried why would William Sr have left her a portion of the property? She would no longer be his concern. Instead he would have deeded the entire portion to William's children. Doesn't this seem logical?
The John Brooks, father of David Brooks in 1764 Lunenburg tithables is a person who needs to be tracked. If this is the same John & David we are following, then David living in his father's household in 1764 makes him appear to be a bit young to have married Ann, widow of William Jr.

Back to William Sr. calling his dau-in-law Ann Brooks in the will. Reading the deeds of William Sr we see other unusual wordings this man has used in his legal documents. We have labored over some of those previously. Mentioning her by her maiden name could have been his way of providing positive identification. He may also have been accustomed to referring to her in that manner. I sometimes still refer to people I have known for many years by their maiden name when I am discussing that person with others who have known her equally long. I think it would be unusual for Brooks to have been her middle name. I haven't seen many (if any) references to people by a first and a middle name during this time period in this part of the country. Has anyone else?
If William Andrews Jr were still alive in early May 1770 & deceased in late May 1770 then it seems unlikely that Ann would have married in the interim. Even more compelling is the fact that her son William Andrews referred to her as Ann Andrews (not Ann Brooks) in 1776.
Halifax Co, VA Will Book 1, p. 173, May Court 1777
