I'm looking for anything on 2 Tidwell lines. My Gr-Grandfather was Richard Judson Tidwell b: 10 Jan 1881 d: 06 Mar 1959. Both his parents were TIDWELLS BORN IN FORSYTH COUNTY.
Richard Judson's Father = James M. Tidwell b: 28 Jul 1858 d: 28 Oct 1926.
Richard Judson's Mother = Susan E. Tidwell b: 06 Mar 1855 d: 28 May 1926.
Richard Judson & his siblings were born in Bartow County and his parents died there.

James M. Tidwell has been difficult to run down. I believe I found his death certificate in "Georgia's Virtual Vault" identifying his father as Marion Tidwell and his mother as Ann Gravitt. I've identified Delphia Eliza Tidwell Abernathy and Atilda "Tilda" Ann Tidwell Summey as having parents by the same name.
I have been unable to find out what James M. Tidwell's middle initial stands for.

Susan's father was Richard Tidwell, possibly M.R. Tidwell, b: abt 1828 (17 Dec 1927) d: Jan 1905. I found J.M. & S.E. Tidwell taking care of M.R. Tidwell's Death/Funeral arrangements in the Virtual Vault. Susan's mother was Jane Munday or Mundey. I think I've got the Munday family identified.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:
#1: Anything on James M. Tidwell & Susan E. Tidell. Marriage and/or Birth in FORSYTH COUNTY. I'm trying to find a marriage date I believe should be around 1880. Also what is his middle name.

#2: Is Susan's father, Richard Tidwell really M.R. Tidwell. If so, what does the "M" stand for.

#3: Could M.R. Tidwell be Merideth R. Saunders?

#4: Could Richard Tidwell & Francis Marion Tidwell be brothers?

Francis married Ann Gravett( Gravitt). Richard Tidwell married Jane Munday. I hope this helps. I have a small book on it that I copied from my grandfather
