Hey Bill, you might be right about this..I will work on this theory! Hey All, I have updated Birdtracks, and more censuses have been added. I have also added a small recent line, from Patricia McCarl, who's direct ancestor is Joseph Marion Birdwell, Sr. & Jane Elizabeth Cantrell or Temple. She would like to know who Joseph's parents were..does anyone have any ideas? Is there anyone living in the Jackson Co., TN area who would be willing to do some research for us? Another favor..if anyone has any "paid" subscriptions, would you be willing to send me what you find on them for the Birdwell's or collateral lines, so that I can put it on Birdtracks. I would appreciate any assistance with this project.. I would like to thank Eva Murphy for the help that she has given me with the censuses, and to Linda Baker for her donations from FindAGrave.com. They have both been keeping me busy!!! Thank you in advance, and I am wishing all of you a very happy and safe holiday season..

I do have Samuel dying in TX, but in Tyler, in 1929. I have son William H. b. 1871, which seems to fit Mollie's year of birth.

Leroy Birdwell, on S.S. Perfection, arrived in NYC on 11 Nov 1920 from Tampico, Mexico. On Line 22 of the Manifest, it says that he was a pumpman, he shipped out on 19 Oct from Beaumont, TX, was 22 yrs old, American from USA, 5'9", 160 lbs, scar on left leg. There was also an Edwin Birdwell, US Citizen, who arrived from Cristobal, Canal Zone, on the Ship Colon. He was married and 28 years old. Does anyone know who these men were, and their family lines?

Hey All, Belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Linda Baker sent me a gravestone picture of Mollie P. Birdwell, buried in Arlington, Tarrant Co., Texas. I went to the 1920 census, and found her living in Arlington, as a widow, b in GA, age 52, parents b in US, with her SIL, Clyde Jordan and her daughter, Emma C. Jordan. As extra proof of this relationship, Linda also found the Jordans in the same cemetery. The question is: who is Mollie? Is she the Mollie Penland who was married to W.H. Birdwell? Does anyone know who W.H. Birdwell was..born, died, parents, full name? Any help would be appreciated. Birdtracks was updated on 29 Nov...I have added tombstone pictures and more censuses. Please take a look. Thank you all for all your support.
