According to these postings, James Lafayette Cogburn is my great grandfather.My grandparents were Joseph Cogburn and Lillie Stelter Cogburn as shown in the Pike County records.Joseph was the son of JL Cogburn by his first marriage.I do not have the names of any siblings. Joseph raised 5 sons and two daughters.The names of his sons were Onis, Otis, Leslie, Leonard and Huey.Onis was my father.The two girls were Viola and Eppie. All are dead except Huey.There is some inconsistency in the information on James Lafayette Cogburn.In one place he is listed as being born in Pennsylvania and in two other places he is listed as having been born in Georgia.Family history suggest that Georgia is probably correct.I would appreciate any information on the first marriage of James Lafayette Cogburn in particular his wife’s name and the names of all children.
