Thanks for the information. I have a copy of the marriage license of Maggie and George which is where I found out that her parents were Isac and Nancy. I thought that Isac might be the same one who is listed on your website as having served in the Civil War but I wasn't sure. The LDS website lists Isac and Nancy on the 1880 Census as living in Rutherford County with sons Ben, Christenberry, and John as well as daughters Peggy and Dillsey. Peggy is listed as being born in 1858 so its possible that she is Maggie. No idea where I would find a cause of death for Maggie since she died in 1909. Maggie and George are my great-great grandparents.

In 1870 Isaac, Nancy & the children were living between the homes of her parents & one of her brothers in the #8 township, Camp Call, Cleveland County, NC. The children are listed as Thomas, Margaret, Benjamin, Chrisenberry & Artie. Artie is listed as a 3 year-old and could have been the 13 year-old "Dillsy" listed in 1880. "Dillsy" has been a puzzle as I believe Artie is buried in Union Baptist Church Cemetery, near Polkville in Cleveland County. I've covered every inch of that cemetery as many, many members of my family are buried there. Isaac has a tombstone, Nancy does not if she is there. In the area of the Powells is a stone marked simply "Artie", no dates, etc. I 've theorized this may be little Artey from the 1870 census. If you haven't seen it already, Bill Floyd has this cemetery on his website: http://www.rfci.net/wdfloyd/UnionClv.html > No idea where I would find a cause of death for Maggie since she died in > 1909. No idea where you could find her cause of death unless there's a newspaper article. The old ones sometimes mentioned that folks in the area were sick & kept an update on them. Could be it's mentioned if she has an obituary. For insrance, my Great-Grandmother over in Cleveland County had little blurbs about her for several weeks, then when she died it said she had been paralized from a stroke for several weeks. Could be some of your folks wrote letters mentioning her death. > Maggie and George are my great-great grandparents. Guess that makes us doubly related. Maggie's mother, Nancy Susan Cogdell Powell, was a sister of my Great-Great-Grandfather Perry Green Cogdell. Also George's Father was a brother of my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather Howell Henderson Green. The Cogdells are from my Grandpa Parker's side of the tree, the Greens are from my Grandma Parker's side. Welcome to my families.
