Found in the "1860 Census of Pike County, Alabama" copied by Kathlyn J. Folmar: Isaiah, Jefferson, Margaret & Zachariah. The following item is the only one that has one of the brother's name=Jefferson in it: In the "1860 Census of Pike County, Alabama", copied by Kathlyn J. Folmar, on pg. 69 I find: #820. 829 Farmer (300/215) Tidwell, Jefferson___(1)___30___m___GA _________Elizabeth___(1)___30___f___GA I found the following Tidwell names in the "Marriage Records for Pike County" copied by Jean Smart: David, Frank m. Sallie A. Simmons 15 Dec 1883 Bk 10 pg 212 (the date would be too late to be one of the brothers), Isaiah, Isaiah, J.R., James, James J., Jefferson m. Elizabeth Varner 28 Mar 1847 Bk 1 pg 321, John, Mathew, Wiley, William, Zachariah & Zachariah. Jefferson & Frank are the only names that could be two of the brothers. I hope this will be some help to you, it s all I've been able to find. Wynnette
