- Andrew Vannoy was born August 12, 1742 as the son of John and Susannah Anderson Vannoy. Andrew was the captain of a company in the 10 N.C. Regiment, Revolutionary War, under the command of Col. Abraham Shepard. He is recorded as having retired from the service April 19, 1777.
After his retirement from the service, Andrew apparently decided it was time to start his own family. On October 18, 1779, the 37-year-old Andrew married Susannah Shepherd (b. ca. 1762, d. Mar. 13, 1816), the daughter of John (Sr) and Sarah Shepherd, establishing the first know first known marriage between the Vannoy and Shepherd families.
Andrew died October 9, 1809. He and Susannah are likely buried in a family cemetery on top of a ridge on the east side of Mulberry Creek, on present-day SR1766 in Wilkes County, NC. There are no tombstones for them, but there are several rocks in the section of the cemetery in which two of their children have inscribed markers.
