During the earlier days Tom and one of his brothers traveled about the country on horseback as peddlers. This was before the motels and such so they had to stay at what we would call bed & breakfasts . On one occasion, they stopped at this place way out from no where to spend the night. While they were being fed supper and even afterward they noticed that the people were acting a little strange compared to what they had been accustomed. So eventually they went to their quarters to get ready for bed. There they thought they hear someone breathing in a box or chest that was in the room. They got scared about that so decided they had better not cause any trouble since they were out numbered in the house. So they decided that one of them stayed awake all night with a pistol in his hand and the other one act like he was sick and growned and moaned all night so the person in the box would know they were not sleeping. They got up the next morning and made haste out of there. While on the road a good piece from the place they ran into a local and ask him about the place they spent the night. He told them that lots of strange things had happened in that place but no one knew for sure what went on there. A lot of travellers had spent the night there never to be seen again.

Thomas "Tom" Jefferson Andrews and Curtis Andrews married sisters: Victoria and Susie Cothron. Susan is believed to have been previously married to a Linville. Maybe children? Drury Jr. and Andrew married sisters Jane and Ann Cartwright. Victoria [Tori] Andrews was reported born July 24, 1866. She is reported to have married her uncle, maybe half Uncle Curt. The first three names of the children do not seem to fit. Perhaps children by one or the wives by another? The family was raised on Payton Creek in Macon Co., Tennessee.

Notes for NASH:
from Cal's Column: "he married a Miss Nash, who dearly loved to dance. This marriage occurred about 1822. A son, John Gregory, was born. Then on Christmas Day, 1825, she bore him another son, who was named Thomas Gregory. About Jan. 15, 1826, when this son was three weeks old, this young couple had an invitation to an old-fashioned, breakdown dance. With a baby only three weeks old, Mrs. Gregory decided to attend this dance, wading the creek the next morning to get back home. She sickened and died from this unusual episode, leaving her husband with two sons, one an infant of about a month and the other two years old."

I was giventhe name of Stephen Calvin Gregory, for my father's father, w ho bore thesame name. He was born on October 30, 1827, and married his third cousin,Miss Sin a Gregory, when he was about twenty-five years of age. My father,who was the fourth child bor n to this couple, was born Jan. 4, 1862. Mygrandfather, Stephen Calvin Gregory, had an uncle , Stephen Gregory, abrother of his father, Major Gregory. Just where the name Calvin, camefr om we do not know, as our grandfather was the first of our family whowore it so far as we hav e been able to learn, and we have traced thefamily back through 1,100 years of time. The fi rst of the Gregory familyto come to America was Richard Gregory who arrived at Jamestown, Vir giniain 1620. We have the name of the ship on which he crossed the Atlanticto America from N orth Ireland, but had previously come to Ireland fromScotland where the family originated o n the shores of Loch Lomand inthe ninth century. "and again: "In the Gregory line of descen t, we havefound that Rob Roy, the old Scotch freebooter, was a distant relative ofours, and w as Sir Walter Scott's hero in his tale, with the title of "RobRoy." East of Loch Lomond in No rthern Scotland lies a section still knownas the "Rob Roy country." On the shores of Loch Lo mond, the Gregoryfamily had its origin in the ninth century. " and still more: "The firstof t he Gregory family to come to America was Richard Gregory, whoarrived at Jamestown, Virgini a in 1620. We name of the ship on which hecrossed the Atlantic to America from North Ireland , but had previouslycome to Ireland from Scotland where the family originated on the shoreso f Loch Lomand in the ninth century."
