I am not sure what records survive for Harrison County, but I am pretty sure that births
were not documented that early. Not knowing what you have looked at already, I would
check wills, probate and estate records for Andrew. Also, look at land transactions
around the time that Andrew died to see if any of his land may have been sold upon his
death; sometimes you can get clues there. You could also check for church records in the
area if you know their religion.
How old was Andrew in 1815? If he was born in the 1780's - 1790's, he may have
fought in the War of 1812 and received a pension or bounty land. The application files
may be able to help as well.
These are just some ideas; someone more familiar with the area may know more and be able
to suggest other items.
