He was quite poor as a child. His father died before he was born and his mother did not have any income except what she could earn herself. Then his mother died when was 14, so Andrew had to depend on relatives and odd jobs that he could do. His mother's family provided basic necessities including for some elementary schooling. After he became an adult he became a successful lawyer, planter and major general and made good money. His wife was also from an old West Tennessee family that was relatively well off.
