Cullen Andrews:

"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. David Andrews, Jr. was born in Virginia in 1793, when he removed to Tennessee with his father. He did not go to Stewart County but went to Giles County to reside. There in 1820 he married Eliza Brown, daughter of Davis Brown. She was born in Brunswick, Virginia in 1798, and removed to Giles in 1813 with her father, where she died in 1857. David Andrews, her husband, died in Birmingham, Alabama, and was buried there."

Subject: David Andrews of Brunswick probably not son of Wm Andrews Jr. and Ann Brooks

I have seen several times that David Andrews, son of William and Ann (Brooks) Andrew, married Elizabeth King.

I have a marriage book for Brunswick Co., VA., and the marriage of David Andrews and Elizabeth King is indeed listed. But there is also a note that David Andrews was a son of John Andrews.

In checking notes from wills in Brunswick Co., I find in Will Book 4, page 209: Will of Joseph Andrews. He had a son named David.

I see deeds involving a John Andrews, with David Andrews mentioned in the land description. There is also a deed between John Andrews and David Andrews, but no relationship was stated.

I have not researched the Andrews family of Brunswick Co. But William and Avis Andrews patented land in what was Lunenburg and Mecklenburg Cos. And since there was another David Andrews (or more) living in Brunswick Co., I would suggest that if you descend from David and Elizabeth (King) Andrews, you probably do not link up to William and Ann (Brooks) Andrews, and William and Avis Andrews.

Also, if you are part of the William and Avis Andrews family, and you have entered Elizabeth King as David's wife (the David who was the son of Wm. Jr. and Ann Brooks), you might be entering incorrect information.

Obviously, more research should be done before stating anything as fact.
