He was born and raised in Smith County , Tennessee and lived in the area near the waters of Peyton's Creek as can be seen from the various land deeds. He was listed in the 1837 tax lists for District 3, Smith Co., TN and also the 1830, 1840 and 1850 censuses for Smith County, TN. In 1860, he was living in Lafayette , Macon County, TN with his wife and children. He owned $450 in real estate and $300 personal property. He lived there until his death sometime between 1880 and 1900.

Joel L. Gregory (age 73) can be seen living with his wife, Amanda E. (age55) and his daughter , M. S. (age 7) in Lafayette, District 10 of the 1880 Macon County, TN census. This indicates to me that his first wife, Mary Jane, died between 1870-1872 and Joel remarried and had another child. He most likely died in Lafayette, Macon Co., TN.

Unclear if this is the same Joel or Joel had two wives: Mary Jane Hesson & Amanda E.?? Jane was on the 1850 census so we assume they were at least married and with 4 children at that time.

Buried at Union Church near Fountain Run, KY (Barrow Co.)

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 Cartwrigh. 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. Thomas Jefferson Andrews Family births are recorded in the Eclectrics Series School Geography No. 3 book that was given to me by my mother. It states:
T. J. December 21, 1852 May 5, 1919 Lafayette, Tn
S. C. September 29, 1860
J. E. January 9, 1877
I. L. May 2, 1876 March 7, 1922 (Tues 8:30 am)
I. G. September 4, 1881
M. E. September 25, 1881
A. J. (Ander) September 15, 1886
T. J. (Tildie) September 15, 1886
L. N. June 25, 1891
Hanna Elizabeth September 14, 1893 Franklin, Ky
H. Mitchell August 22, 1895

Vernon Andrews said Uncle Tom was found hung in barn. We do not have any understanding of the reasons or circumstances of this situation. Tom's brothers were Eli and Mitchell.

Bob Andrews records the children as:
Children:

1.Victoria Andrews
2.Louisa Andrews
3.Sue Andrews
4.Catherine Andrews
5.John Eli Andrews
6.Irdel Levi Andrews
7.Iler G. Andrews
8.Ilar Gertrude Andrews
9.Margaret Esther Andrews
10.Andrew Jackson Andrews
11.Matilda Isabelle Andrews
12.Luwangy N. Andrews
13.Hanna Elizabeth Andrews
14.Henry Mitchell Andrews

but does not consider the children of the marriage to Harrison Andrews by Susan Cothron.

I have no record of :
i. VICTORIA ANDREWS, m. CURT ANDREWS.
ii. LOUISA ANDREWS.
iii. SUE ANDREWS.
iv. CATHERINE ANDREWS.
They do not appear in the old geograph book that Tom kept track of the birth days of his family.
