Message Board Post:
I am searching for records of my gggrand father's family. I am especially interested in his parent's names, and wife Sarah's maiden name. I have completely hit a brick wall, and any advice or help would be wonderful! Here is basically what I have...
Thomas Cogdell is listed in the 1830 Census as living in Lancaster as head of the household.
son Thomas Churchill Cogdell b1834 is born in Lancaster
Thomas Cogdell is recorded 1839 land office records purchasing land in Pickens County, AL. and then again in the 1840 census as head of household there.
Finally in 1850 census we get a bit more information:
Home in 1850 (City,County,State): Lowndes, Mississippi
Household Members:
Name Age Birthplace
Thomas Cogdell 52 b abt 1798 South Carolina
Sarah Cogdell 46 b abt 1804 North Carolina
Thomas C Cogdell 17 b 1834 Lancaster, South Carolina
Daniel Cogdell 16 b abt 1836 South Carolina
Armenta Cogdell 10 b abt 1840 Alabama
Samuel J Cogdell 8 b abt 1842 Alabama
Malvina(Mary)Cogdell 3 abt 1847 Alabama
I have from family records that Thomas Cogdell died in 1856 in Lowndes, Mississippi
In the 1860 Census Sarah appears without Thomas.
