Bob,
Welcome to the family!
We are double cousins--both through the McCollough line and the Tilford line--but we are one generation more closely related through the McCollough line than through the Tilford line. I believe that the two Alexander Tilfords were first cousins and their wives were sisters. Here's my family tree so you can calculate how closely we are actually related:
Alexander Tilford m. Elizabeth McCollough
--Cynthia Tilford m. Isaiah Vanzant
----William W. Vanzant
--------Wesley S. Van Zandt
----------My father
------------Me
By the way, the surnames in Isaiah and Cynthia's family Bible are consistently spelled: Tilford, McCollough and Vanzant. My grandfather's generation was the first to use the Van Zandt spelling of my surname.
Cousin,
Gary
