My great-grandfather, William Jefferson Andrews (1835-1896), was born and raised in Georgia. The Andrews moved to Rome, Floyd County, Georgia in 1852. William enlisted in Company E of the 8th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment in May of 1861. He was present at First Manassas, Va.; Gettysburg, Pa., where he was wounded; and Camp Winder Hospital, Richmond, Va., both as a nurse and patient. Click here for more info. on his War service.
