John, I'm glad I was able to help you. You've probably seen Rose's message to the list, indicating that I emailed her a copy of the marriage file of Ezekiel S. Green and Camilla Birdwell, with John Birdwell's note giving the family's permission for Camilla to marry. I have pretty much confirmed the following children of James G. Birdwell and wife Alitha Leonard: 1. Hannah (b. 25 Apr. 1825, Limestone Co.?, AL; d. 17 Oct. 1910, Bell Co., TX). Hannah m. 1)Hardin Harville, 25 Nov. 1845, Natchitoches Psh., LA; and 2)Ezekiel S. Green, 11 Dec. 1867, Natchitoches Psh., LA). 2. John B. (your line) (b. 1 July 1828, Limestone Co., AL; d. ?Feb. 1918, Dixie, Caddo Psh., LA). John B. m. 1)Mary Emily Brewster, 5 Apr. 1855, Avoyelles Psh., LA; and 2)Mary Fredonia Russell, abt. 1866. 3. Dewitt Clinton (b. abt. 1831, Limestone Co.?, AL). 4. Thomas (b. 18 June 1832, Jackson Co., AL; d. aft. 1880, Bell Co., TX?). Thomas m. 1)Virginia Turner, 11 July 1859, De Soto Psh., LA; and 2)Sarah Nunn, 12 Sept. 1877, Bell Co., TX. 5. Camilla (b. abt. 1834, Jackson Co., AL; d. 1862-1867, Avoyelles Psh., LA?). Camilla m. Ezekiel S. Green (who m. her sister Hannah after Camilla died). 6. Frances C. (b. abt. 1837, Jackson Co., AL). Frances m. J. Claiborne M. Oliver, 2 Jan. 1854, De Soto Psh., LA. 7. Sophronia (b. abt. 1841, Natchitoches Psh., LA; d. aft. 1880). Sophronia m. Livingston Turner, brother to Virginia, above, 8 Aug. 1856, De Soto Psh., LA. 8. Mary Ann (b. abt. 1845, Natchitoches Psh., LA; d. abt. 1885, Coryell Co., TX?). Mary Ann m. George Adolphus Friend. A possible sibling of these is Elvira Birdwell, who was b. abt. 1822 in Limestone Co. (?), AL, and d. abt. 13 Dec. 1855 in Pointe Coupee Psh. On 13 June 1844, she m. Samuel Kerr Green, father of Ezekiel S. Green, who m. Camilla and Hannah Birdwell. This marriage took place in Pointe Coupee Psh., LA. On the 1850 census, Camilla, Mary Ann, and Clinton Birdwell were living in the household of Samuel K. Green and Elvira Birdwell. Elvira is possibly a half-sister of James G. Birdwell, though. James's father Moses had 10 children by each of his wives, and to my knowledge, no complete list of all of these has ever been compiled. Will gladly share information. My email address is indsch19@hotmail.com. Note that the two characters after "indsch" are "nineteen," not lowercase L followed by 9. Glad to hear from you, and eager to swap information.
