This family is difficult to trace through the census years, due to the fact that names and ages are similar but not completely consistent, and to the existence of other families with similar names. The census records cited here are influenced by the original uploaded data that shows this as a single family, but that might not be the case.

There is an alternative 1870 census record, also in Beaver Creek, with parents G and Sarah Andrews and one child (Avery Andrews, age 11). If it is the correct match for the 1860 census record, then there appear to be 2 separate families, such that the George who married Sarah Ann Livingston is NOT the son of James and Jane Andrews.

Note that a third 1870 census record, also in Beaver Creek, has the following family members: G W Andrews, age 35; Sarah Andrews, age 30; Nancy Andrews, age 18; Sarah Andrews, age 10; Robert Andrews, age 7; Mary Andrews, age 5

    This might or might not be the same family. If it is, it is possible that the census record was copied from a semi-legible draft, because several of the names do not exactly match the names of family members. However, this appears to be the best match in the 1870 census for the 1880 census.
