Andrew was from successful sheep ranching family in Tazewell County, Virginia. There were some family difficulties, and things were rough going for a while.
I believe that he was very despondent after the loss of his eldest son, Joseph - he was just 3 at the time of his death.
Andrew was shot and killed in the local general store, leaving his wife, India; and other two children, Harlin and Betty, to fend for themselves. India even had to petition the courts, with legal assistance from her father, Henry L. Morgan, to maintain custody of the children!
Thankfully, things are a lot different today!
