Dear Ms. Peck:

Thank you for your generous and detailed answer to my query!

Tirza was likely named for Tirzah [McCown] Birdwell, wife of Thomas G. Birdwell of Walker Co. TX, and daughter of Sampson McCown of Chester SC and Tuscaloosa AL.

Tirzah is a biblical name --- a capitol city of several kings of the Israelites. Considering all the misspellings by Census enumerators, they must not have been students of the Bible.

Again, thank you!
