Florida Mae Andrews was the name she had when she was born. After she married William Timothy Guilfoyle (who was Catholic), her name became Mary Elizabeth 'Florida Mae' Andrews. The possibility is that Catholics were given Christian names when they joined the Catholic Church. The reason behind the name, could have been her father's first wife was Mary Adeline Walker and her mother's name was Elizabeth Binns Goff. She may have taken the first name of each as honor to them.

Her father was William Henry Andrews Sr (1811-1870) and mother Elizabeth Binns Goff (1810-1842). The name 'Binns' was given to her in honor of her father's friend and this was seen in a document on ancestry.com.

Siblings by Elizabeth Binns Goff: John Slicer Andrews & Ellen Lou Andrews.

Sibling (half) sibling by her Step-Mother, Mary Adeline Walker: Sarah Adeline, James Jefferson, Valentine E 'Vollie', Zachariah Taylor (Sr), Jessie, Julia Ann, Henritta, William Henry Jr, Laura R, Joseph Edward, and Virginia Andrews.

Florida's first marriage was to Joseph Hogg on December 28, 1867 in Marion County, Florida.

She married William Timothy Guilfoyle around 1870-1871 in Florida. So the family has said, William's first wife was very sick and Florida Mae took care of her and on her death bed, she ask Florida Mae to marry William Timothy Guilfoyle and take care of her children. William and Florida's children were: Catherine Elizabeth, James Daniel (Jim), & William Henry Andrews - (who were identical twins; Mary A, Frances A 'Fannie', Margaret A, Anna M 'Annie' Guilfoyle.

Mary Elizabeth 'Florida Mae' Andrews Guilfoyle died in Romeo, Marion County, Florida, but her burial place is unknown.

Per Shelly Dunn ([email protected]), this is what she posted for an update on the burial for William Timothy Guilfoyle, Mary E Guilfoyle and Annie Guilfoyle: I am Shelley Dunn, I care for and keep the records for Saint Johns United Methodist Church Cemetery in Cotton Plant, FL. I took over these duties after my mother passed in 2005. She wrote a note in the records at Unit 2, Block 21 that she had set aside 3 graves for Annie Guilfoyle (Lot 1), Wm. Timothy Guilfoyle (Lot 3) and Mary E. Guilfoyle (Lot 4); all are unmarked. William H. Guilfoyle has a marker in Lot 2. My mother's note reads "All three are buried here in unmarked graves according to Audrey Loos of Jacksonville, who is a niece of William and Annie."
