Can anyone out there tell me anything about Madison County MS Cockrells (who
they were, when they might have gotten to Madison County, etc.).
Specifically those who may have lived in the Canton area.
Thanks

Hello,
I just received a copy of my g-grandmother's, Idella COCKRELL Stimage, death
certificate indicating she was born in Canton MS. The birth date was
unknown. However, 1900, 1910 and 1920 census info lists her as born in
1876, possibly March. The birth certificate also did not list her mother's
name, but did list her father's name as ALEC COCKRELL (birthplace unknown).
In March 1897, she gave birth to a daughter, Hattie Mae Mack, in Canton MS.
Anybody recognize this info?

"Proud to be an African-American, even prouder to be a woman."
Good Morning,
Earlier this weekend my wife and I were able to go to Montgomery County,
Ky. on a litle research project. We were able to get a few marriage
records and some deeds. Montgomery County is another of those counties
that was burned by Morgan Raiders during the Civil War and they have
very few records. Most of what was found was from Benjamin Franklin
Cockrell and some of his decendants. There were quite a few deeds and
some marriage records. These need to worked on a little more to get the
relationships correct. What was great about the trip was that we were
able to locate a very old graveyard. We took some pictures of the
stones and will post that information as well. In the process we were
able to contact two Cockrell families living in the area. They were
very nice people but had very little information on the family past
Moses Cockrell from SC. The library had a family worksheet that traced
the family to "John the Immigrant" of 1717. I fear that they are
incorrect. Anyone that is researching Moses from S.C. and his line is
invited to give me their input. This area in Montgomery County, Ky. is
virtually untouched from a Genealogical standpoint. When I go and have
some serious talks with the people in the area I would like to be armed
with the correct information on their earlier ancestsors. I believe
that I may will be able to get some pictures and such from them but I
need to gain thier trust. If anyone knows the bsckwoods of Kentucky you
will know that they are mistrustful of outsiders. Although I am from
Kentucky living outside the state for so many years the first thing that
was asked was were I was from. I have rarely asked for assistance this
effort will mean a great deal to me. As stated earlier I will provide
as much information as I can with what little was available.

Hello Fellow Researchers,
This is a message I received and my reply. The Alexander Cockrell line
through Simon B. Cockrell was given to me by Richard Chroniger from records
collected from the descendants who have reunions at Freeman, MO. I added the
family group data I have on Alexander Cockrell at the end. I hope that you
will contact this newcomer to the Cockrell genealogy and add your information
as well.

Hello,
I do not know exactly what my initial reply to you was regarding our
Cockrell lines. So to start over let me begin by saying that Yes, we are some
sort of cousins. I have answered your query as asked so print this out since
it is a doozy. I hope that you will send me a copy of your records and what
ever letter or what sort of family data you used to know this about your
family so I can enter this into my data base and I can send you a better copy
of this and the parents and siblings of Alexander Cockrell the elder as well.

Is this family connected to your Cockrell's?
Yes there is a great connection and I live not so far from the court records
but would have to plan a visit to obtain anything for you.
Can you tell me how they are connected and any info you have about Simon's
siblings and parents, etc. I appreciate your time and patience with me. I
haven't been during research for very long. Thank you.
I have this:

Valley, Russell County, Virginia, and died October 14, 1858 in Pottawatamie
County, Kansas. He married SARAH SEVILLA HELM Bef. 1817 in Washington County,
Indiana. She was born 19 APR 1799 in Virginia and died 1881 in Buffalo,
Wilson County, Kansas

This branch of the family is most interesting. There are more descendants
taking up the hobby of genealogy in this branch in this generation than any
other this year. Better yet more of them are actually connecting to the
ancestor Simon Cockrell than ever before, one thing we all have in common.
The probate records for this son of Simon Cockrell are found in two states,
Illinois and Indiana. Each is administrated by a different son. Illinois is
administrated by Mordecai Cockrell and Indiana is administrated by Simon B.
Cockrell. Until very recently the descendants of Simon B. Cockrell had not
been in contact. They do have regular family reunions and at Freeman,
Missouri. I attended one this year [1998] and made contact with Richard
Chroniger who gave me a large record on the family. Meanwhile I send them all
of my information on the history of Simon Cockrell of Virgina, Kentucky and
Missouri.
Notes for SARAH SEVILLA HELM:
At the family history library [LDS] there are two family group sheets
submitted for this family. One shows Sarah Helm to be the wife of Alexander
Cockrell and the other shows a Sarah Kelmo. Each lists the rest of the
information on the family group sheet as the same. I think the problem is
interpretation of a hand written name Helm and Kelmo seem to be the same just
seen differently. I beleive strongly that her maiden name is Helm or Helms.
Will someone actually get a copy of this and share it?
Children of ALEXANDER COCKRELL and SARAH HELM are:
47. i. ELIZABETH JANE5 COCKRELL, b. April 02, 1818, Salem, Washington
County, Indiana; d. September 20, 1864, Rocky Comfort, McDonald County,

I have more, much more on the family of Alexander Cockrell and his father
and siblings as well. If you will send me your address I can send you the
whole thing as the group of researchers has defined it. We are a group who
keep contact on rootsweb.com by an email list
COCKRELL-L(a)rootsweb.com
So even if I send you what I have it would be great to sign onto the list
and get all the updates as they become available. This is not such a gimme as
it seems since it is a work in progress and it is recomended that you actually
gather the information from your ancestor back to the connections we have
located for you.
It is our hope that you will share anything you may have with us as well.
Hope to hear from you soon,

<< GEORGE G. MORGAN: "ALONG THOSE LINES . . ."
"All the World's a Stage . . . " For Our Ancestors
<<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>>
=======================================================
Every so often, I have to admit that I get burned out on parts of genealogy.
Don't get me wrong; it's not that I'm tired of genealogy. I've been working
on my family tree since I was ten years old, and I still enjoy the thrill of
the chase and the solving of the puzzles. No, it's just that I need a
breather from writing letters to obtain copies of records, the data entry of
information into my database and of the same old review of primary and
secondary documents.
It's at these times that I pull back and take my research in a different
direction. This week in "Along Those Lines . . .," let's discuss our
ancestors from a different perspective - as actors on a stage.
~ Prologue
It's easy to become consumed with the paper chase. I catch myself sometimes
overly focused on filling in the gaps in the pedigree chart just like
everyone else. It's easy to forget that each of our ancestors was a player
on the world stage. Each one lived his or her life against a rich backdrop
of scenery, interacted with other people, and altered the world in which
they lived. Every man, woman and child leaves a legacy of some sort behind,
even if it is only as a memory that influenced another person's life.
William Shakespeare, in his play, 'As You Like It,' said, "All the world's
a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and
their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being
seven stages." How, then, do we more accurately assess the lives of our
ancestors, and the parts that they played in their time? History!
~ Act One
It is important to understand the people whom you are researching. Only by
getting to know the person intimately can you understand the decisions they
made and anticipate some of their actions. How do you get to know an
ancestor intimately? The same way you get to know someone today. You see
where they lived, you learn how they lived, you get to know the people they
lived and associated with, you study the environment in which they lived,
and you try to put yourself in their place.
Certainly, you're acquiring copies of Bible records, vital records, church
records, land records, and all the other papers you can possibly locate. You
are reading them carefully, trying to validate your hypotheses and/or
corroborate facts. BUT ... how well do you understand these records? Do you
know who made them? Do you know why they were made? What do you really know
about these people?
One way to learn about your antecedents is to study history. Yes, history!
It is important to understand where your ancestors lived, the times in which
they lived, the conditions that influenced them and the everyday lives they
led. Why do you care? Let's look at three scenarios.
~ Act Two, Scene One
First, let's consider the Irish Potato Famine of 1846-1850. Starting out as
a blight on the potato crop, acres of farmland were soon covered with a
black rot. Food prices skyrocketed across Europe as harvests failed. Many
Irish, barely surviving as it was, found their crops destroyed and were
unable to pay rent to their landlords. People were evicted. Others, eating
the rotten produce in desperation, became ill. Whole villages were decimated
or destroyed by epidemics of cholera and typhus. Many corpses were left
unburied as there was no money for coffins. As many as one million people
died from starvation and the illnesses that resulted from unsanitary
conditions and/or deprivation of food. The Famine forever changed the social
and cultural structure of Ireland.
If your ancestors lived in Ireland at the time, they were desperate victims
of hunger and disease. The unhappy tragedy enacted there was a hell on
earth. The poverty and starvation over these years induced many to emigrate
to the U.S. They brought little with them but their trades and their
desperate ambition to survive in the New World. You can research these
courageous survivors, the conditions in the specific areas from which they
came, and learn more about their lives before, during and after their
ordeal. There are many excellent books describing the Irish immigrants. From
these insights, you can form a better picture of the drive and ambition, and
better understand why they made the decisions they did to emigrate from
Ireland and to settle where they did in this country.
~ Act Two, Scene Two
If you are researching your African American ancestry, it is vitally
important to understand the stage on which your ancestors played out their
lives. Why? Because, before the 1870 Federal census, records may be
difficult, if not impossible, to locate. Therefore, you must understand the
life of the African American in order to learn where to look for clues.
A study of history is imperative. You must learn whether your ancestors were
slaves or free prior to the Civil War, and where they were located. The
history of the area in which they lived is essential to your understanding
of your ancestors because different states' or territories' laws applied.
Record keeping also varied greatly. Should you look for records at
courthouses or research for journals and ledgers of slaveholders? Should you
seek church records or research Freedmen's Bureau files? What did the family
unit or extended family unit look like in that time? What language was
spoken by your ancestors, and how might it have influenced naming patterns?
By understanding the history of an area and the African American people -
slave or free - who lived there, you will become more adept at anticipating
where to look for records and possible what subsequent migration and
settlement choices they made.
~ Act Two, Scene Three
What do you know about your great-grandmother? Do you know any more than
what her maiden name was? Depending on when and where she lived, you can
begin to piece together what her life must have been like. Certainly, there
are books describing the clothes and costumes that people wore at various
times, so you can get a feel for how your great-grandmother dressed. If she
traveled across the prairie in a covered wagon, there are a number of books,
including many diaries and journals, describing the journey. Some describe
the transatlantic crossings of immigrants. Still others describe the
day-to-day lifestyles of typical women of many stations of life. During a
visit to Barnes & Noble this week, I found many books describing in detail
the women from Medieval times in Europe, women's lives during the Victorian
era in England, and suffragettes and "Rosie the Riveter" stories of this
century.
By studying these historical profiles, we can gain insights into the ways
our antecedents lived, how they dressed, the ideas and issues with which
they were concerned, the social mores and conventions of their times, and
the political and financial influences that constrained or empowered them.
From these pieces of information, we can form pictures of their lives and
the ways in which they influenced their families and others around them.
~ Act Three
Once you've taken the step to learn more about the historical context in
which your ancestors lived, you'll begin to see them more as players on a
world stage. Some ancestors are prominent or famous personalities; others
appear to be ordinary men and women who lived relatively simple lives. While
they may seem to be leaves buffeted by the winds of time, in actuality they
were proactive influences in their times. You will become more intimately
familiar with the people you're researching if you invest some of your time
studying their time. By doing so, these people will come to life. And
sometimes, by knowing them better, you'll be better able to understand their
motivations and anticipate where to look for new genealogical clues.
U.S. historian, Francis Parkman (1823-1893), struck the nail precisely on
the head when he wrote in his Pioneers of France in the New World [1865]:
"Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research,
however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. Such facts may be
detailed with the most minute exactness, and yet the narrative, taken as a
whole, may be unmeaning or untrue. The narrator must seek to imbue himself
with the life and spirit of the time. He must study events in their bearings
near and remote; in the character, habits, and manners of those who took
part in them. He must himself be, as it were, a sharer or a spectator of the
action he describes."
Happy hunting!

Hello Fellow Researchers,
The list of deeds in the first email of about 4 pages is only a portion of the
deeds that I saw there and this list represents the ones I chose to get that
day. The others will have to wait for another day. I see that Monroe
Fulkerson Cockrell had quite a chore and he was trying to collect these deeds
by mail. He did use them as source information in his book.
I have been asked why one needs to collect these deed records and what do they
say about an ancestor. There are misspellings and nonuniform abbreviations in
them and after all they are written out by hand making them difficult to read.
Deeds unlike the census cover years between each ten years. It has not always
been easy to locate these people in the census because they move around some.
With the deed records they are placed for that year and date. Add these to
your time line and notice how much easier it is to locate the ancestor on a
given year. When you check your local history for this time you find a lot of
interesting things about the people and places. A casual mention would make a
big difference if you know for certain that your ancestor owned, bought or
sold property in that place. By the way a deed for a horse counts as well.
Deeds also point out relationships between the local families. Starting at
the first one listed for Joseph and Mary Andrews to Morgan Cockrell dated
1835. We have the marriage record of Morgan Cockrell and Hannah Andrews for
1833 could this be a connection to her parents? That piece of property is
still in the family today. Also we know that in 1835 Morgan Cockrell was one
of the appointed commissioners to build roads in Johnson County, Missouri.
These are specific documented events. I can list them in my facts.
The deed between Westley Cockrell and Morgan Cockrill tells us that Westley
Cockrell the nephew of Morgan Cockrell was leaving that area in 1838 just
after Joseph Cockrell died.
Joel Cockrell purchased property in Johnson County in 1836 from James and
Martha Young. So he will be staying for a time. See the 1840 Census and sure
enough he is there.
Westley Cockrell and Morgan Cockrell deceased had an error in the deed to
correct this tells that Westley Cockrell is a resident of Van Buren County.
This postponed the division of property following the death of Morgan
Cockrell.
The deed record for Barksdale S. West, Nancy West. Alexander Cockrell, Tabitha
Cockrell, Sarah Cockrell & William Cockrell against Washington Howard, Hannah
Howard & James C. Francis admin. of the estate of Morgan Cockrell deceased is
interesting and I have mapped this one out on the county map. By placing the
names of each heir into the sections allotted to them I learned where to look
for their residences. Notice that the date is 1846 and Hannah Howard was
divorcing Washington Howard. This is significant since he now had no rights
to any of the property. Based on the divorce records we can figure out that
he was not around to take advantage of any of this transaction. Also in the
divorce records is receipt of a Newspaper so we know what newspaper to look
for any other information in this area and era. It is known to us what names
to look for and if obituaries were done then they might be in there. This is
likely the same newspaper that would carry the notice of Estate settlement for
Morgan Cockrell and the others of this area.
Christopher Cockrell in 1855 did purchase a large portion of land. He is
shown as a resident of St. Louis County, Missouri. The Redford families were
plentiful in the Johnson County area in this time period. The daughter of
Barksdale and Nancy West later marries into this family.
James & Sina Anders are the sister and brother-in-law of Barksdale S. and
Nancy West who sell to Alexander Cockrell.
Jeremiah and Miranda Cockrell would be the Judge Cockrell of Texas notoriety.
The deed selling a portion of the property belonging to the heirs of Joel
Cockrell we learn was to help pay for their living and schooling expenses.
This sort of deed leads us to look for the probate settlements and receipts to
see what was developing in the lives of the children of Joel Cockrell and his
widow.
Samuel B. & Tabitha Kerby are the sister and brother-in-law of Alexander
Cockrell and Tabitha and Alexander Cockrell are the children of Morgan and
Hannah Cockrell. In the estate settlement of Hannah Fitzgerald from Jefferson
County, Kansas we find that the children of this marriage inherit portions.
This family group does not appear in a census to show neatly the father,
mother, and children by name. Tabitha Cockrell Kerby dies before the move
into Kansas and Samuel B. Kerby remarries to Sarah Mayhew and the Mayhew
family connections start here. Samuel Kerby then sells his Kansas properties
to Alexander Cockrell as seen in that group of deeds collected not so long
ago.
Silas & Agnes Fitzgerald are named in the estate of William West the father of
Barksdale West and Agnes is the sister of Barksdale West. They sell to
Alexander Cockrell.
When we get to the deeds between Alexander & Hannah Cockrell and William
Cockrell it is interesting to note that Alexander Cockrell adds a statement
that William Cockrell relinquished his right to the dower property of their
mother Hannah Fitzgerald it is worded only for Johnson County, Missouri and
since Hannah Fitzgerald died in Kansas this should not affect any inheritance
due to the heirs of William Cockrell deceased however the widow and children
of William Cockrell do not have a deed or any receipt for their portion being
received. This would suggest some family discord.
In summation there are a lot of reasons to gather the deed records for your
ancestor in the area where they resided. I am fortunate to live near these
court houses and I do plan my trips since they seem to always require a full
day. We take a picnic lunch and enough cash to get copies. We also take
along a camera to get photos of any graves we might locate in the area.
Sometimes we have the supplies to clean a headstone well before taking a photo
and sidewalk chalk to make the letters stand out nicely. All of this is
important since these things are very old now. Should there be vandalism we
can see how to repair any headstones and if our courthouses put records into
the trash we have copies in the family now that can be shared and preserved.
These copies are in more than one household so that if disaster should strike
one house then copies will still be in another place.
Another trip has taken place but that is another report.
Hope to hear form you soon.

Hello Fellow Researchers,
Well Aunt Ida and I went for a road trip and she let me drive. This was
important because she was free to recall places and things like never before.
Near the old Fort Osage there is an Old Mill located on the Little Blue and it
is very near some Cockrell property and located in Jackson County. We also
looked at three old cemeteries in the area where Morgan Cockrell and Dicey
Cockrell once had property in Lillard County. It is now Lafayette County.
Our real objective was the court house at Johnson County. I have a few
theories about the family and more is revealed every time I locate records. I
have a list of 35 documents found in the Registrar's Office and I will index
the deeds here.

Hello fellow researchers,
I hope all is well in your corners of the world.
I am looking for some assistance/information. Can anyone tell me how I
would go about finding birth records for individuals born prior to 1912
(more specifically, in the State of Mississippi)? Seems this is the year
most vital stat offices began keeping birth records.
Also, has anyone found another way of finding ancestors who do not seem to
appear in census records? By the time my ancestors show up in records, they
are 34 and 24 years of age. They were not born as slaves, having been born
in 1866 and 1876, but the one who should have shown up in 1880 as 4 years of
age, doesn't, nor does he show up in 1880 when he would have been 14 (along
with the other individual who would have been 4 in the 1880 census, but
doesn't show up anywhere). Any suggestions?
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide, and have a very nice day?

Fellow Researchers,
Raymond Cockerell has passed away. In the Louisville, Ky. Courier
Journal on Friday , Sept. 4th it listed Raymond Cockerell aged 82 of
Caneyville, Ky. Caneyville is located in Grayson County, Ky. An
obituary is not shown for other counties.
Raymond is the son of John William Cockrell and his second wife Fannie
Pharris. He was born abt. 1916. My 1920 census does not show this family
in Kentucky therefore I can presume that he was born in Indiana. More
research will be required. Raymond was married to Edith June Swift on
Jan. 19, 1937 in Grayson County, Ky. He was aged 20 and she 16. They
had three children, Kathleen and twins Joanne and Ballard. Kathleen
married Foster Wilson, Joanne married Richard Taylor and Ballard
married Patsey Davis.

Hello fellow researchers,
It's been a while since I've posted to the Cockrell list, but perhaps there
are some new members out there who've not seen some of my previous posts.
I'm still looking for my COCKRELLS, who no one seems to know anything about.
It's like they just dropped on to the face of the earth in 1900.
IDELLA COCKRELL Stimage, b. 1876 in MS, was listed as having married only
once. When she died in Winterville or Greenville MS abt 1929, she was
married to Calvin Thomas Stimage. She gave birth to 5 children, all who
lived to at least 60+ years of age. Idella had a sister listed as residing
with the married couple. Her name was KATTIE COCKRELL, b. January 1882.
There is another group of Cockrells also, which I have very little info on
as well. DAVID COCKRELL, b. abt 1854 showed up in the 1880 census. Living
with him were Elender, Noah, and Hattie Harris. Three other names were
listed but they were unreadable.
I've put together about 3 1/2 pages of African-American Cockrells who showed
up in the 1880 census, and haven't seen any of these names pop up in any
discussion or any other query. I've yet to review the 1900, 1910 and 1920
census for Cockrells, and haven't yet looked prior to 1880 (since the names
I'm looking for were born in 1876 and 1882). It really is very
disheartening that nothing has shown up to date.
Do any of the names mentioned ring a bell to anyone, absolutely anyone, out
there researching Cockrells?
I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can provide.
PS: no offense meant, btw.

Good Morning,
Since your visit I have been thinking about the relationships between
John Amos Hack and the Cockriel family. At the time of your visit I
could not put my thoughts together enough to explain the relationship.
Well. I think I have the information that I need to "get it correct".
By the Way, My wife and I really enjoyed the visit. I hope that you
can come again. I would very much like to see you complete GED file.
As we discussed any information I have will only be used to help
others. I will not use any information for my own personal gain.
James was married three times. I believe that the marriage records of
Edmonson County will verify this information. James was first married
to Mary Moss. They were married in Jan 15th 1865. He would have been
twenty years old. James's second wife was the widow of Presley
Cockriel. Sarah Jane (Hayes). Sarah Hayes wife of Presley Cockriel is
the daughter of James Hayes and Parmelia Jones. They were married 2
April 1882 at the house of James A. Hack. Presley was the son of John
Cockriel and Sarah Hayes. He was listed as 3 years old in 1850 Grayson
County and 13 years old in the 1860 Warren County census records. The
1870 Edmonson County census shows Presley as 22 and Sarah M. as 18. The
1880 Census shows Presley as 33 and Sarah M. as 24 although her correct
age should be 27. Listed as children were Eliza age 9, Mary E. age 7.
and William as 2.
Henry Valentine Hack married Eliza J. Cockriel on Mar 5, 1885. He is
shown at age 19 and she at age 14. Henry Valentine Hack is the son of
James Amos Hack and his first wife Mary Moss. James Amos Hack is the
son of George A. Hack and Sarah Cockriel.
Note: John Cockriel shown as the father of Presley Cockriel and Sarah
Cockriel wife of George A. Hack are brother and sister.
Mary E. married Sherman Hayes Aug 14th, 1890. Sherman is the son of
Isaac Hayes and Margaret(Peggy) Lasley. Sherman was 22 and Mary E. was
listed as 17. On the marriage certificate it shows the mother of Mary
E. as Sarah M. Hayes nee Hack. The father is shown as Presley
Cockriel.
William married Martina Francis Durbin on Sept 5, 1899. Martina is the
daughter of Silas M. Durbin and Martha Bush. They were married but two
years. William Presley Cockriel died on Aug 28, 1901. He is buried at
the St. Joseph Cemetery, Sunfish, Ky. After his death Martina married
Martin Joseph Durbin. They were married Nov. 9, 1902. The Graves
county census of 1910 shows Flossie M. Cockerel - Step daughter.
Parents Joseph and Tina Durbin. Flossie would then be the only child of
William Presley Cockriel and Martina Francis Durbin.
The relationship between John Cockriel and Sarah Hayes can be verified
in the birth records of Grayson County. It is on microfilm and shows
William Thomas Cockriel died of Bold Hives- son of John Cockriel and
Sarah Hayes. Her parents were John and Tabby Hayes.
I realize that this is a great deal of information and may be fragmented
and confusing. If you have any questions, additions, or corrections
please contact me at kytrace(a)worldnet.att.net

I am searching for information on the Cockerill's that settled in the
Marysville, KS area.
The parents are William Cockerill (born Oct. 1831 in England) and
Elizabeth Kemp (born Jan 1842 also in England). They came over to US
approx. 1866. They had 5 boys.
i Arthur Frederick Cockerill b. Feb. 1865 in England
ii Walter John Cockerill b. Sept. 1867 around
Marysville, Deer Creek area
iii Edwin Gladstone Cockerill b. Sept. 1869 again around
Marysville, KS
iv Robert Laudon Cockerill b. Mar 6, 1874 near Marysville
v Charles Kemp Cockerill b. Mar 1877 near Marysville
I am a descendant of the last brother and I have recently connected with
a descendant of Robert Laudon. We would really like to hear from the
descendants of the other brothers. If anyone has any more knowledge on
the parents that would be great too.
Thank you

Guys and Gals,
In my first letter I tried to be tactful in mentioning that Claude would
be getting out of prison. There is no personal safety concern. Claude
has been known to make contact with Cockrell researchers and make
promises that could not be met. Kay Kazmir has been more involved than
most. She can be contacted at the following address:
kkazmir01(a)sprynet.com. If you require more information please contact
her as she suggested. The list is a public forum. If I were to give you
incorrect information then I could be held liable.
My contact happened some years ago where for the sum of $100.00 I would
be part of a Cockrell group and could get discounts on insurance and
automobiles. I did not bite. Others have had similar contact and may
have more to say. Just be aware that if something is too good to be
true it may be.
Tom Cockerel
I will be glad to respond privately to anyone who has questions about Claude
Cockrell; however, I will not do it publicly on the list. If you have a
questions, please Email me directly.

What kind of "potential problems" do we need to be aware of? I am not
familiar with Clyde Cockrell.
