      Several references say Andrew ("Big Andrew") Monroe never married. Other references, including Williams, confuse Andrew with Andrew [3544].

      At a court held for Westmoreland County, Virginia on 27 Feb 1723, Andrew chose his brother, Spence, to be his guardian, which was allowed by the court. In 1774, Andrew served as the executor of Spence's will.
