I am copying this to Phyllis, my new found cousin :) Parents of Lillie Mae, James, Viola, Roscoe and Eva (all born between 1899 - 1914) were Elmer and Mary Elizabeth (SPURLOCK) Birdwell .... Parents of Elmer Birdwell: Joseph Marion Birdwell (24 Dec 1842 - 4 Apr 1911) ( son of Joseph and Elizabeth Chaffin BIRDWELL) Joseph Marion Birdwell about 1870 married: Cansada Brown (11 Sep 1853 - 4 Jun 1934) (dau of Thomas Cowan and Martha J Malone BROWN) Parents of Martha Elizabeth Spurlock: Joseph A Spurlock (1848 - still living in 1880) (son of Johnson and Mary Ann -Polly- Birdwell SPURLOCK) Joseph A Spurlock about 1872 married: Eliza Brown (24 Sep 1851 - still living in 1880) (dau of Thomas Cowan and Martha J Malone BROWN) note: .. Candada Brown was sister to Eliza and the second wife of Joseph Marion Birdwell - his first wife was Emily Chaffin and they had two sons (Joab and William) before Emily died about 1869. Another note, Joab Birdwell is Howell Birdwell's line) Hope this helps. Jerry Anderson
