Notes
a. Note:   Custom Field:<_FA#> Buried Henson Cemetery, Jackson Parish, LA. As a teenager, Andrew was inducted into the confederate army by his father. His record is in the Confederate Memorial in Montgomery. (Pvt., Troop D, 6th AL Cavalry, CSA) Many of the teenagers died in those desperate years; but Andrew survived. He recalled having to give up the good little mare that he had ridden throughout his army days. They had furnished their own mounts but, when they broke up the company to go home it was agreed (but not by Andrew) to turn all the horses and mules into a corral and for each man to take one at random. Andrew lost his mare and was left with a mule, a sorry specimen. This happened at Mobile, Alabama. Andrew Jackson Head and his wife, Almeda Jane Salsbury lived at the "Hathaway Place" and worked hard and with great skill and foresight to improve their surroundings. The house was renovated many times. When they moved there it was a "double pen" log structure which was lacking some of the outside or porch flooring; also, some of the lofts and gables. They added those floors, etc. I never heard how old the oldest of the two "houses" was, but Almeda remembered going to a dance in the newer "house" in 1858. Mr. Hampton, though he was living there then, had just built this addition. This part had floors that Almeda's father had sawed. And the foundation of heart pine logs was strong and sound after nearly a century when it was torn down and moved. Sometime around 1900, Andrew and his sons tore down the oldest part of the house and added rooms around the other part which was a great improvement. Then around 1910, their son, Jesse George Head, added a hall, a large room with a fireplace, two small bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, pantry and back porch. In 1926 most of the roof was removed and replaced with metal roofing. Such was the old home.
