A newspaper clipping found in Lillie Mae Hottel Roberts’ family Bible written by a “guest present” at the Grand Golden Wedding Anniversary, 1 September 1879, of Sam Horner and Mary Leah Andrew states that there were five persons living who attended their wedding in 1849 who also attended the golden wedding anniversary. Brothers and sister of Mrs. Horner: the two Andrews, Joshua T. and Thomas and Mrs. Sallie (Andrew) Ollis. The “guest present” refers to Uncle Sammy (Samuel Horner) and Aunt Polly (Mary Leah “Polly” Andrew Horner). Family lore speculates that the “guest present” is Eliza Horner McPheeters.

In Bennett Andrew's will (Guilford County, North Carolina Will & Probate)he requests that his wife, Mary Leah Dillon Andrew remove herself to a free state. From the obituary for Mary Leah Dillon Andrew: Mary Leah Dillon Andrew moved to Indiana, 1819, Fredericksburg, Blue River Township, Washington County.
