Notes
a. Note:   Elizabeth was probably part Cherokee Indian. It has been handed down from generation to generation that the Windle's from Pickens County, Alabama were descendants of an Indian. That information is from the lines of Mary R. Windle Petete, Robert Huffman Windle, & Samuel Murphy Windle. Elizabeth was probably born in the area around where Jackson & Overton Counties Tennessee were first formed. This was along the northern area of Tennessee and at that time large sections of the border was still in dispute with Kentucky. Also huge parts of this area was still Cherokee Indian territory. Many Americans moved into this area before it was officially part of a State & many settlers intermarried with the Cherokee's. Also many Cherokee Indians became Americanized. On the 1850 census of Pickens County, Alabama Elizabeth stated she was born in Kentucky. Almost all of her children later stated on the 1880 census that she was born in Tennessee not Kentucky. She must have been born in the northern sections where Jackson County Tennessee was first formed.
  Jackson County was named in honor of Andrew Jackson when it was formed in 1801. In 1803 it more than doubled in size when some of the Cherokee Indian lands were incorporated into the county. In 1806 Overton County was formed from most of Jackson County & that is where Andrews oldest brother, Joseph Hawkins Windle, moved to in about 1807.
  On 15 February 1820, Andrew was in court in Jackson County, Tennessee to make his oath regarding a lost horse. This must be around the time he met Elizabeth.
  Andrew & Elizabeth married around 1822 & probably in Jackson County Tennessee. By early 1823 they were living in Jefferson County, Alabama. Their first child, Mary R. Windle was born there.
  John Sutton a descendant of Virginia Windle Sutton has a Bible with 1860 as the death year of Elizabeth. That would mean she died sometime between 1 Jan 1860 & 29 June 1860. The 1860 Federal Census was taken on 29 Jun 1860. At that time Andrew Moore Windle was a widow living with his daughter Virginia Sutton.
