Charles Carlton started the Celina Record.

Charles and Emma had the following children :
Edwin Andrews, Hallie Andrews Plyler, Mayme Andrews Nelson, Bessie Andrews Jackson, Gunby Houston Andrews, Leta Andrews O'Brien, and Prentiss Wilson Andrews.

Prentiss and his wife Geraldine are buried at Restland in Dallas, Texas.

Descendant of Varney Andrews, Sr. - there are photographs of the Varney Andrews farm and home on the Meherrin River, as well as the photographs related to Henrico County. The site of the Varney Andrews, Jr. farm near Celina, Tennessee has been located. Prentiss and his brother, Michael Andrews, located the grave of Varney Andrews Jr, near Bells, Texas, and it looks very similar to the photos of the Varney Andrews cemetery in Virginia. [Varney Jr's wife, Mary Maxey's father, William Maxey, was the brother of General Rice Maxey, whose son was General Samuel Bell Maxey.]

Varney Andrews, Jr and 28-year old Edwin Jones Andrews moved with their entire families, from near Celina, Tennessee to Grayson County, Texas, in 1858.
 
Burnetta Fowler was the first wife of Edwin Jones Andrews and passed away in 1862, while he was serving in the First Texas Sharpshooters. Edwin Jones Andrews and Burnetta Fowler had six children: Eugene Rollin, Harvey Wilson, Laura, Samuel Varney, Patrick Henry, and Martha Oglesby Burnetta. In 1868, he married his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Abernathy. Edwin Jones Andrews and Mary Elizabeth Abernathey had four children: Frank A. Andrews, Charles Carleton Andrews, Mark Edwin Andrews, and James Richard Andrews. A number of the brothers of Edwin Jones Andrews served in the 9th Texas Infantry Division and fought in the west in almost every engagement from Shiloh until the end of the war. Edwin Jones Andrews (32 years old and with six children was enrolled in the First Texas Sharpshooters (Burnet's Battalion), in August, 1862. He was apparently elected as a 1st Lieutenant of Company D and served for the remainder of the War. The First Texas Sharpshooters were originally organized to join the 9th Texas Infantry, which had already moved into Tennessee and Mississippi. However, the First Texas Sharpshooters were redirected and participated in engagements at Jackson, Mississippi, and Mobile, Alabama. Sometime in 1863, they made their way back across the Mississippi, and were assigned to General Samuel Bell Maxey's command in the Indian Territory (Oklahoma), until the war ended.

There is a late 19th century publication for Grayson County, Texas, which listed many of the county residents, with a short biography. It listed Edwin Jones Andrews as owner of a farm near Howe, Texas and also as an agent for a lumber company in nearby Sherman, Texas. It states that he was a good Christian, respected by all who knew him. He died in 1900. Prentiss Wilson Andrews, who was his grandson, was born in 1910 and recalled seeing one picture of Edwin Jones Andrews. He said that he was wearing a necklace with an Indian symbol similar to what became known as the swastika. Since he enrolled in the First Texas Sharpshooters in August, 1862, believe to be the same month the Confederate draft was introduced in Texas, he may not have been as much of a firebrand as his younger brother, Dr. Richard Andrews was active in the secession movement in Grayson County.

There is an old Grayson county history book found in the library, portions of which relate to Dr. Richard Andrews' roll in the Texas secession.
