Ihave traced my Uncle by marriages BIRDWELL line to Clinton Co.,Ky. They are on the 1860 census. From the death certificates of John Birdwell, I find that he is the son of son of Joshua Birdwell and Sally Hare, and wife Myra, is the daughter of William Brummett and Minerva Thornhill. From the 1860 census I have run into a brick wall, but the posting about Old George sounds promising. John BIRDWELL and family,plus brother and sisters settled in Creelsboro,Russell Co by 1910. Any help on this is appreciated. Sharon
