Thank you Gary for looking. Would you be so kind to tell me the Coyle names in the Oaklawn Cemetery? This is a very large family... and perhaps you have found an opening where I did not know there was a brick wall.... BTW where is Oaklawn Cemetery located?

I need someone to locate information on the Shivers family of Woodruff County. Roderick James Powell Shivers died in 1852 in Augusta, Woodruff County. He was the Sheriff of Shelby County, Tn and listed as a Regulator in Arkansas and Slave Runner. His wife also died there 1 yr prior to his death in 1851 and this is somewhat a mystery. Did his wife die that Tennesseans knew, or was it one of his "Guardian Children" that was incorrectly listed. Either Amy Caroline Shivers, or Nancy Caroline Williams would be the listing I am looking for and RJP's info. Roderick is buried in Hardeman County, but his wife has yet to be located in any Tennessee burial ground. So are there any early burial records that exist listing "ANY" Shivers burials in Woodruff County ? People I can not stress enough how important these two pieces of data are to understanding and unraveling a large part of even your messed up history. There was a large cover-up of informaiton in Woodruff County and some very shady things going on. Data does not match up and the last place that any sanity existed was in Woodruff County in 1851. The Gregory family ended up with the Shivers property and slaves due to the marriage of Evelina Permelia Shivers to Tillman Gregory. This would have been property that originally belonged to Thomas Shivers 1780, Benjamin Shivers 1820, RJP,Shadrick,Jesse and John Shivers 1852. Other related families would have been the famous William Thomas Jackson who married Margarette Almeta Shivers and lived in St Francis County, Ar after moving from Nagadoches, La upon inheritence of other mysterious properties not accounted for yet in anyof the wills or estate settlements. I am willing to defray your costs for any copies of archived documents you can supply to me. Transcriptions are worthless in my document archive but I would be willing to collect those also.
