My line is a tough one because I believe my great grandmother, Martha Ann TIDWELL, was born out of wedlock. She was an only child and I don't believe her mother ever married. I have suspicions that her father may have been a PURDY, but no proof of that. I also believe her grandfather, Nelson TIDWELL, is probably the oldest son of Rhode TIDWELL, but I have no solid proof of that either. I would really like to know what happened to her 2 uncles, John F & Robert N TIDWELL. Here is my line: Descendants of Nelson M TIDWELL ------------------------------- 1-Nelson M TIDWELL b.
