According to Keith [1], Andrew was sometimes known as "Flatwood Andrew".
There is some confusion as to whether this Andrew is the son of
Solomon or of Zacharias. Both men had sons named Andrew, and they both
lived in Monroe Co., Va. (now West Va.). However, this Andrew named
sons for his brother Thompson, and his father Solomon. The other
Andrew named a son Zacharias. Therefore, there can be little doubt as
to the assignment.
There are various ideas as to Andrew's birthdate. His tombstone says
1 Jul 1815 [235], but this is incompatible with brother Thompson's
supposed birth early in 1816. The 1900 census says it was August of
1813 which does agree well with the census records over the years. And
1 Sep 1814 is offered by [3]1:123.
