    Warren ANDREWSwas born probably in Surry Co., Virginia and is recorded as being in the Conetoe section of North Carolina as early as 1735 where he is mentioned in the court records as being exempt for road work (so that he could work on building his home). He died in Tyrrell Co., North Carolina in February 1774. His wife’s name was Sarah.
    
    Warren must have traveled through the Great Dismal Swamp with its rotting underbrush and heavy growth, along the way he may have seen the Albermarle Sound with its clear waters, the beautiful green trees and rich soil. He must have run into much rain, as in this area of North Carolina, rain is a frequent happening, and with the rain comes the mud.
    
    Warren and his family had to cross the Roanoke River to settle on Conetoe Creek. People in Virginia called the Albermarle “Rogue Harbor” because although there were some very pleasant people in the area, it was a center for rogues and pirates. He knew that there were dangers-all new settlers knew it. He knew that Governor Hugh was having a difficult time keeping order. He must have known of the Governor long struggle against Clary and his band of outlaws, and that law and order was far from Albemarle. Industry and prudence were among Andrews’ virtues, for he quickly set about clearing the marsh grass and felling the timbers for his home which he built with his own hands.
    
    There were many drawbacks and dangers to pioneering in that area. In addition to the hardships that come with breaking the bottom land, clearing the forest and contending with the frontier, there were thieves and robbers from within, piracy along the coast and rivers and the constant menace of Indian attacks. Despite hardships and dangers Warren and Sarah survived and prospered. He began acquiring other property. In state records in the NC state archives he was granted land, 200 acres in Tyrrell County in 1739, 250 acres in Tyrrell County in 1741, 150 acres in Edgecombe County in 1741, and 150 acres in Edgecombe County in 1744.
    
    
    Warren Andrews died in 1774 and left a will which was probated in Tyrrell County, NC in 1774.
    
    The descendants of Warren and Sarah Andrews are many and are spread through the south and the rest of the United States. Martha Andrews, a daughter, moved to Georgia. She has many descendants in Georgia and South Carolina. Edmund and Levi Andrews, sons, left many descendants in Pitt County area of North Carolina. Etheldred Andrews’s, son, family helped settle Tennessee.
