Does anyone know of any proof for the maiden name of Elizabeth "Betsy" Birdwell, wife of William Birdwell? William, born in 1772, came from East Tennessee to Jackson County. He is on the 1820 Jackson County census. Betsy lived to be over 100 years old. I was told back in the early 1980s that she may have been a LeFevre but I've never found any proof or even a source for the information except through a family member. Was Betsy an Indian? I would love to "talk" to anyone who knows more about William and Betsy. Best wishes, Pat Elder "I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it."
