Lizzie Andrews

Lizzie Andrews (maiden name: Simmons) was probably born in South Carolina in the early 1840s. By the late 1850s, her enslaver was Charles Green Andrews, a Methodist pastor in Madison County, Mississippi. She married Alexander Andrews around 1858 in Madison County. They had at least five children: Walker, born sometime before 1868; Robert, born March 20, 1873; May, born December 14, 1874; Alexander, born November 16, 1876; and Simon, born November 14, 1879. The family lived in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and her husband earned a living as a farmer. By 1910, they were helping raise two of their grandchildren. She died of unknown causes on April 25, 1910, probably in Vicksburg.
