I am researching the following families: Andrews - Texas, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia The early Texas members of this family included Richard, Robert, Reddin, Micha, Green, and Mary Andrews Dunn.Their siblings Athelson Andrews, Elizabeth Andrews Clay, and Warren B. Andrews all ended up in the Dallas Co. AL area. These are all children of William Andrews and ________(variously Ray, Rogers, and Sanders). He was born in NC and the mother of at least Reddin was born in Virginia. According to the one source he had brothers Green, Gray, Robert, Richard, and Athelston.I suspect there is a connection (possibly sister) to Elizabeth Andrews Goodwin who was married to Young Goodwin. I am also working on the Marmaduke Box (SC) who was married to Nancy Powell (SC).They are in Fayette Co, AL in 1830 and then Lavaca Co, TX in 1840.Their daughter Martha Box Andrews married Reddin Andews (She was his second wife and mother of chilren 4 through 9. His first wife was the widow Mary Munn with whom he had 3 children.) I have notebooks of information on the Texas branch of these folks including the family bibles of Lyda Gilbert Andrews / T. G. Andrews and Martha Box Andrews/and Reddin Andrews.I also have documents from the state archives which prove the connection of the Texas brothers with Mary Andrews Dunn and Elizabeth Andrews Clay.My main interest is documenting William.Some sources say that he returned from Texas (I am not sure he ever came here) to Alabama to be with his son Athelston. As to the spelling of Reddin.It appears variously as Redden and Reden even in family documents -- but in documents where he signs his own name it appears as Reddin. Gilbert - Texas, Alabama South Carolina The parents of Lyda Rosamund Gilbert (married to T. G. Andrews - son of Reddin Andrews, were Love (Lovinsky)E. Gilbert and wife ElizabethFairchild Jackson.His parents were Abraham (b. 1801 SC) and Elizabeth West Gilbert (m.1829 Newberry SC).Her parents were Cornelius Sanford West (b. CN 1811) and Elizabeth Fairchild Jackson (b. NY) m. 1832 (probably in NY) I have some information about the parents of Elizabeth but none about the others.Abraham Gilbert had a brother Lovinsky Gilbert and they are found in SC and AL records. I have a published Gilbert family geneology but it comes to a screaming halt with Abraham --not even any speculation about parents. Bartley - Texas, Florida, England Mary Francis Bartley (b. 1883 FL) was the daughter of W. H. Bartley (b. England 1845 and immigrated 1864)and Mary Dorinda Santini(b. 1849 FL parents b. France)married Edward Michael Doyle in FL about 1906. Mary Francis and Edward Michael were in San Antonio in the 1920's where they had both died before 1930. When Mary Francis died in San Antonio in 1927 she had a brother Henry Bartley still living in Florida. Doyle - Texas, Florida, Ireland The Doyle family was established in Orange Co, FL before 1870 - Edward Michael being the son of Michael J. Doyle (b. 1837 Ire) and Mary C. Speer (b. 1843 GA) the daughter of Algernon Sidney Speer (b. 1816 SC) and Christiana Ginn (b. 1821 GA).Algernon was descended from Alexander M. Speer and a succession of William Speers (Abbeville,SC and Strebautl, Ire).Christiana was the daughter of Arthur and Mary Ginn (both born Ireland). I have quite a bit of information about the Speers and none about the Ginns.
