Note: According to her father's will her name was spelled Avis in one list of his children and Avey in a second listing of the children. - T. King Andrews, Barnett, Griffin family Bible. ""Ave Andrews wife of Mark Andrews born the 9th Day of July 1731". [AVIS OR AVEY] GARNETT, born July 19, 1725, Gloucester County, Virginia. She died on October 29, 1768, Cumberland County, Kentucky. She married Dr. MARK ANDREWS in about 1746, at Essex County, Virginia, America. There is some confusion regarding the birth date of this Alvie, Avie or Avis GARNETT. George Harrison Sanford King states that she was born in 1723. She married Mark Andrews [1725-1775]. [The first name of Avey GARNETT's husband is given in some sources as William ANDREWS rather than Mark ANDREWS. Mark Andrews was the name of one of their sons]. Ava GARNETT and her husband later moved from Essex County to Cumberland County, Virginia. This Bible was transcribed from a copy of the 1761 edition of the Bible published by Mark Baskett, London. Copies can be found in Barnett folder of the surname section of the GEORGIA DEPARTMENT of ARCHIVES and HISTORY. It can also be found in the October 14, 1989, Number 1095, edition of FAMILY PUZZLERS. The last know owner of the Bible was Mrs. Helen Griffin Steel of Locust Grove, GA. Submitted by: Keith D. Barnett, great-great-great-grandson of Nathan Barnett and his wife Ave Garnet Griffin Barnett. KDBarnett@aol.com Avis/Avey GARNETT [b. July 19, 1725, d. October 29, 1768], the daughter of Thomas GARNETT and Elizabeth MUSCOE, actually did indeed marry Mark ANDREWS [1725-1775] in about 1746 at Essex County, Virginia. They had one son whose name was also Mark ANDREWS and he eventually took as his wife Winifred LYELL. But now here is where the confusion comes in…and the reason for my earlier errors and resulting red face. The original member of the ANDREWS family to arrive in America---ie. Mark ANDREWS' great-grandfather---was William ANDREWS [b. before 1625 in England, d. 1684 in Virginia]. Amazingly, the wife of William ANDREWS was also named Avis GARNETT! William and Avis [nee GARNETT] ANDREWS had two known sons, Joseph ANDREWS [b. after 1635] and James ANDREWS [b. about 1650, d, 1684]. [Doug Garnett on RootsWeb]
