Mary Alice Cogburn

Notes:

Was she also called Nancy? According to an email from Dolores Burton, she was named Nancy Cogburn. However, on the 1880 and on the 1900 Sabine County Census, the wife of James Birdwell is listed as Mary. In fact, in the 1900 census, she is shown as Mary A. (Cogburn).

David Pike, a Cogburn researcher, also shows her as Mary Alice. He indicates that she was probably born in Georgia, though census records report Alabama, and on one occasion Arkansas.

Mary married James Andrew Birdwell about 1859 in Newton County, Texas. James was born on 10 Oct 1835 in Alabama; died on 7 Apr 1914 in Bronson, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
