Harriet had only one son Weaver. You have been most helpful by giving me some dates I didn't have! It is strange the obit stating Warren died in his cousin's house Henry Cockran in 1928? I have traced every way I know and thanks to you and others have have also tried to figure out this puzzle. I know there was a Henry Cockran same age group in Okla who claimed to be an Indian. I thought it might have been him - but he was in the 1830 census of Okla - so this is ruled out. Warren had came back to Jefferson county about 1921 according to obit - he was in 1920 Okla census with Lydia. They lmust have broke up because she died much later. As I said, this has been a mystery. I know or think I knew that his sister Julie or Julia m. Wm. Woodworth - but she is listed as Julie Drew in obit. Also it mentioned Kibble R. Drew b. 1884 in Jefferson as living and I had presumed he had died as a child as I could never find anything on him. According to early census it was Kibal R. -but obit. stated Kibble? You are very good genealogists and your generosity to help others is most commendable! Thank you ever so much! Al Oh my grandfather Albert b. Jeff. Dec 25, 1872 son of Albert and Elizabeth Jane (Drew) Rogers Gibbs also was in the Spanish American War so they must have gone in together. Elizabeth had been marr'd to David Rogers in Franklin county and had a dau. Lucretia by him. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
