"Casto Cousins" shows Andrew died in 1879 and William as Willa B and married to Samuel Starcher. There is a Samuel and Willa Starcher in the 1900 Jackson Co
Starcher, Samuel G, 5/1874, m 2y, WV WV ENG
Willia, 12/1876, 0-0
Keenan, Warren A, bil, 10/1882.

JCMR:
Samuel Goldsmith Starcher, 23, Jackson, res Ripley
Keenan, Willa Belle, 21, Jackson, res Ripley, 1/23/1898

If William is Willa, and Warren is her brother, Andrew must not have died in 1879. Can't find him or Sarah in later censuses.
