Their nine children were born near Charleston, West Virginia: Elizabeth, Sarah, Jane, Francis, John, James, Mary, William and George. They left West Virginia about 1845, coming up the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to Boonville, Missouri, on a steamboat, and settled near Wolf's Spring southwest of Tipton, Missouri. Andrew's home was one of the pioneer Methodist preaching places where neighbors and friends came to worship. Sunday School was held each Sunday. The private homes were meeting places for the Circuit Riders to come and preach. Later, Andrew and two daughters, Jane and Mary, and son, George, were charter members of the Methodist Church in Tipton. His wife, Jane, died soon after coming to Missouri, and Andrew raised the children on the farm. Times were hard but he was a good blacksmith, which helped out a lot as he worked for neighbors and passers by. During the Civil War, the Confederate troops stopped at Andrew's blacksmith shop and forced him to shoe their horses. In order to save his home and two daughters, he shod their horses, although he had four sons in the Union Army that they were looking for. Andrew knew his sons were not far away at the breastworks in Otterville, on the Lamine River, so he stalled for time. Andrew is buried in an unmarked grave. In addition to the children linked below, there are two more sons: John Merlin was born in 1838. He started walking west to California during the Gold Rush of 1849 and caught up with a wagon train and made the journey on to the west with them. He bought land and had a mining claim. He was the only son of Andrew and Jane's who was not in the Civil War because he left Missouri before the war broke out. He died in the State of California. James Calvin was in the Civil War as a Private under Captain D. L. Dille. After the war, he went west. He never married, and was in Shoshone County, Idaho territory, near Wardner, about the time of his death.
