Hi Mattie, I do have a copy of another researcher's composite data-base that includes a number of people's work. It lists a Riley TIDWELL, said to be the son of a James TIDWELL (about 1805, Dickson Co., TN - 1868). But this Riley is listed as the son of James, born in 1806, so there's an error somewhere in that. I have James married to Elizabeth Jane BERRY in 1858, so maybe James is the younger one, don't know. Edmund TIDWELL, Sr. and his son Edmund, Jr., probably moved to Dickson Co about 1809 as I have it, but I'm far from clear about these TIDWELL families. Would really appreciate any information you might have, especially about ancestors who were in South Carolina in the time between the French and Indian War's end in 1763 and the middle 1800s. No Ruth LONG in my stuff. If I just sent you this in response to another inquiry, I apologize. getting tired I guess.
