Notes

rchibald Andrews was one of the younger sons of William ANDREWS, Sr. & Mary LLOYD(?) of Orange County, NC.  According to descendant Mary Andrews Brooke, Archibald ANDREWS "[m]arried Polly REEVES, who was b. 1796.  She was the daughter of John REEVES.  Polly & Archibald had 10 children.  Several of these children were born while they occupied a house on Archibalds's father's plantation.  With his rapidly growing family Archibald was forced to look for a place of his own and he purchased the Justice plantation on the old Pittsboro-Hillsborough Rd.  The house was constructed of logs, two story and had glass windows.  It was considered the finest house in that area.  There were barns for the cows, sheep & horses, besides the many cleared acres for crops & grazing, as well as ample housing for his slaves.  He, like his father, was a great hunter & carried large bucks over his shoulders from long hunting trips.

"His children were: Reany (who married Ranson CATES), Elizabeth (who married Tom TURNER), John, Henry, Chesley (who married first Elizabeth TEMPLE and second, Martha Ann FREELAND, granddaughter of Catherine JOHNSTON & John FREELAND and the widow of Monroe IVEY, who had been killed in the Civil War), Mary, Ann, Atlas and Calvin (who never married).  Elizabeth, Ann, Mary, Atlas, Calvin, their father, Archibald, and their mother, Polly, and Polly's sister, Susanna, and Archibald's sister, Sarah, are all buried in the family cemetery on the Justice plantation.  Atlas died in the Civil War, Calvin studied medicine under Dr. -(?) YANCEY, and later went to New York for special courses in medicine, then he returned home and took over the aging Dr. Yancey's practice.  Dr. Calvin was a good general practitioner, delivering babies and administering to the sick far & near.  After the Civil War an epidemic of malaria fever broke out and from over work and lack of rest, he contracted the horrible disease and died."  (The Cemetery Survey of Orange County, North Carolina (1976), notes of Mary Andrews Brooks.)
