Great grandchildren William Lafayette and Sara Josephine Andrews always thought his middle name was Vaughn, while their cousin Martha Andrews Thomson had Varney as his middle name.

h/o Tennessee Tucker
s/o Jones Andrews (1791-1843) and
Lucy Lanier (1799-1860)

CHILDREN:
1. William Andrews (Abt. 1850–After 1870). He is listed in 1870 Census as 20 years old and farming in Farmington, Marshall County, TN with his birth family; yet in the 1960 Census he is listed as living with his birth family in Berlin, Marshall County, Tennessee. John Andrews, son of William Lafayette Andrews, Jr. found that there is a W. J. Andrews buried near William Varney Andrews, whose wife Lizzie E. Cunningham was born September 28, 1850.

2. Jane Andrews (1853 Marshall County, TN–1866 Marshall County, TN)
3. Nicholas Green Andrews (1854–1934)
4. James (Jones) Andrews (1856 Marshall County, TN–1886 Marshall County, TN)
5. George A. Andrews (24 JANUARY 1859 Marshall County, TN 4 NOVEMBER 1864 Marshall County, TN)
6. James Douglas Andrews (1861–1925)
7. Anna McDora Andrews (1864–1937)
8. Ada Peay Andrews (1 MARCH 1868 Marshall County, Tennessee 15 JULY 1869 Marshall County, Tennessee)
9. Cora Lee Andrews Gray (1869–1912)


His middle name may very well have been "Vaughn" because some of his great-grandchildren knew him as William Vaughn Andrews and the original creator of this memorial, William Clifford, apparently also knew him as this was well. Martha Andrews Thompson and a handwritten note in the margin of Samuel Low Tucker's Williamson County land complaint are the only known sources for "Varney" as his middle name, although because his grandfather is Varney Andrews, Varney makes more sense. In 2002, Martha showed this handwritten marginal note to WV Andrews' great grandson, William Lafayette Andrews, Jr., who, with his sister Sara up until then always thought their great grandfather's middle name was "Vaughn".

WILLIAM V. ANDREWS, son of Jones and Lucy (Lanier) Andrews, who were born in Virginia in 1791 and 1803, respectively. They both came to Tennessee when young, and were married in Williamson County. To them were born eleven children, only three of whom are living at the present time. The father was an agriculturist, and one of the most successful of his day. He served in the war of 1812, and was a Whig in politics; he died in 1843. His widow and children lived on the old homestead until 1861, when the mother's death occurred. William V. was born November 1, 1824, and spent his early days on a farm. His father, though wealthy, believed in teaching his children to work, and he was sent to the field with the servants and earned his living by the sweat of his brow. At the age of eighteen he took charge of the farm of 500 acres, which he managed until his marriage, in 1849, to Tennessee Tucker. To them were born seven children, four of whom are living. Mr. Andrews was a Whig previous to the war, but now votes the Democratic ticket. He owned 342 acres of land, but gave largely to his children. He has given his children good educational advantages, and contributes largely to the support of laudable enterprises.

It looks almost as if John Lunn Road ends at a "T" intersection with Grady Road. At this intersection stay to the left (Don't turn right onto Gray Road) and about 300 yards or so beyond this intersection is a gravel road on the left that is barely noticeable. Take this to the Cunningham graveyard which will be on the right.

CHILDREN:
1. William Andrews (Abt. 1850–After 1870). He is listed in 1870 Census as 20 years old and farming in Farmington, Marshall County, TN with his birth family; yet in the 1960 Census he is listed as living with his birth family in Berlin, Marshall County, Tennessee. John Andrews, son of William Lafayette Andrews, Jr. found that there is a W. J. Andrews buried near William Varney Andrews, whose wife Lizzie E. Cunningham was born September 28, 1850.

2. Jane Andrews (1853 Marshall County, TN–1866 Marshall County, TN)
3. Nicholas Green Andrews (1854–1934)
4. James (Jones) Andrews (1856 Marshall County, TN–1886 Marshall County, TN)
5. George A. Andrews (24 JANUARY 1859 Marshall County, TN 4 NOVEMBER 1864 Marshall County, TN)
6. James Douglas Andrews (1861–1925)
7. Anna McDora Andrews (1864–1937)
8. Ada Peay Andrews (1 MARCH 1868 Marshall County, Tennessee 15 JULY 1869 Marshall County, Tennessee)
9. Cora Lee Andrews Gray (1869–1912)


His middle name may very well have been "Vaughn" because some of his great-grandchildren knew him as William Vaughn Andrews and the original creator of this memorial, William Clifford, apparently also knew him as this was well. Martha Andrews Thompson and a handwritten note in the margin of Samuel Low Tucker's Williamson County land complaint are the only known sources for "Varney" as his middle name, although because his grandfather is Varney Andrews, Varney makes more sense. In 2002, Martha showed this handwritten marginal note to WV Andrews' great grandson, William Lafayette Andrews, Jr., who, with his sister Sara up until then always thought their great grandfather's middle name was "Vaughn".

Reprint from The Goodspeeds History of Tennessee, 1886 - found in the Maury County Library,Biographical Appexdix (page 1190)-

WILLIAM V. ANDREWS, son of Jones and Lucy (Lanier) Andrews, who were born in Virginia in 1791 and 1803, respectively. They both came to Tennessee when young, and were married in Williamson County. To them were born eleven children, only three of whom are living at the present time. The father was an agriculturist, and one of the most successful of his day. He served in the war of 1812, and was a Whig in politics; he died in 1843. His widow and children lived on the old homestead until 1861, when the mother's death occurred. William V. was born November 1, 1824, and spent his early days on a farm. His father, though wealthy, believed in teaching his children to work, and he was sent to the field with the servants and earned his living by the sweat of his brow. At the age of eighteen he took charge of the farm of 500 acres, which he managed until his marriage, in 1849, to Tennessee Tucker. To them were born seven children, four of whom are living. Mr. Andrews was a Whig previous to the war, but now votes the Democratic ticket. He owned 342 acres of land, but gave largely to his children. He has given his children good educational advantages, and contributes largely to the support of laudable enterprises.

It looks almost as if John Lunn Road ends at a "T" intersection with Grady Road. At this intersection stay to the left (Don't turn right onto Gray Road) and about 300 yards or so beyond this intersection is a gravel road on the left that is barely noticeable.
