Does anyone have any information on Andrew Tribbett listed in the household of Andrew and Mary Fulwiler Tribbett in the 1860, 1870 and 1880 Census? I have reason to believe this is not Andrew and Mary's son, but their son William Marion Tribbett's son. I am not sure if he was born out of wedlock or if William actually married Andrew's mother. William Marion Tribbett would have only been 19 when Andrew was born. Shortly after the Civil War, William left Colliers Creek and moved to Pana, Illinois. I always thought Andrew might have been a younger brother until reading William Marion Tribbett's obituary....
