I am searching for the parents of Andrew J. Donelson/Donaldson. According to the 1850 & 1860 censuses he was born about 1814-1815 in Tennessee. The 1860 census shows that he has $4000 in real estate and $8000 in personal estate. The following is a list of some of the info I have on him. There were lots of Andrew J (Jackson?) Donelson's Donaldson's in Middle Tennessee. Can anyone help me with sorting him out and identifying who he is? I am descended from his daughter Louisa Francis Donaldson. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have not been able to find Andrew J.'s death information.
He has left the household in the 1870 census by death or divorce ??

Since Lewis and Maury are bordering counties, this may be the same Andrew J. Donelson/Donaldson.
Also, since this Andrew J and Marinda are in the 1850 Census in Lewis Co and the 1860 Census in Maury Co. , this may be the same Andrew J. Donelson/Donaldson.
