The Justice Family
Some of the Justices of Haywood County are descended from Andrew Jackson Justice. Family lore has it that he was an illigitimate son of a couple from Dandridge TN named Harris and Roper. It is not known which is the father and which is the mother. The father is supposed to have been a medical doctor. Andrew Jackson was left with a Justice family in Macon County, NC, and apparently adopted by them. As a young man, Andrew Jackson Justice came to Haywood County where he met his future wife, Emelia Serena McCracken. |
