William ("Will") Andruss

William was born July 2, 1818, in Wythe Co. VA. He spent his childhood in Tennessee and married in Jefferson Co. TN on Feb. 25, 1857 (age 39--second wife?) to Margaret Ann Engle. Evidently they had no children--we can find no record. When William's sister, Elizabeth Andruss Heaton died (ca. 1856-60), William and his wife took in Harriet and William C. Heaton, ages 14 and 4. Harriet and William C. died early and are buried at McFarlane "Hill" Cemetery near Russellville TN. Family records say that William Andruss is buried at Hope, Hempsted Co., AR. Perhaps when the 1870 census index is published more on this family will be disclosed. William was a tinner like his father.
