Hi Terry, Thanks so much for helping with the information from the Wills of the Hickman County Cochran/Cochrans. That gives me some more names and avenues to start searching. You asked about our Overby/Overbey connection. This is what I have. Neil's grandparents are Celicia Jeanetta "Jane" Overbey and David Johnson "Davie" Tidwell. She was the daughter of "Ben" Overbey (I have found both Benjamin and Ruben as his name.) and Sarah C. Cockran, dau. of Henry and Mary J. "Polly" (Unknown). Ben Overbey is the son of Edmond Overbey and Jane (Unknown), a brother to your ancestor, James Daniel Overbey, Jr., both being sons of Daniel Overbey and Emily "Milly" Tyler. If you happen to have Edmond Overbey's wife Jane's maiden name, I sure need that. All I have is that she was born about 1820. I am also needing the maiden name of Mary, the wife of Reuben Tyler. I have made me a sheet of how you connect to a William Cockran, who married Mary, and put your name on the top so I can let you know if I can link all these folks. I'll be glad when Ancestry gets the Census Images on line, because I think that will help me. They say they will be on by or shortly after Jan. 31, 2001, but they are not adding them very fast. In the meantime, I'll keep searching. I need to find out if anyone has published any "Settlement Books" for Hickman County. I'll let you know what I find. Please, always correct me if you find an error in these lines. Thanks, Velma

I have a picture of a Johnson Tidwell, which I figured was Dave Johnson Tidwell, can you get attachments. If so I will dig it out and email you a copy and you can see if it is him.
