My Photo -- maybe of Little George Cogburn???
I have a photo from my grandmother's picture box I'm wondering if someone might help identify if I email to them. Years ago I heard the story of her corresponding with her Uncle George Cogburn...who supposedly had a gold mine! -- has anyone heard a story to this effect concerning this George Cogburn or another? I don't know if she later heard he had died, or he just quit writing or how this story ended. Some time back I was told my Grt GF Cogburn had been visited in Taylor Co, TX by his Uncle George who was running from the law; later read accounts of Little George and wondered if they might be one in the same! He also supposedly had an Uncle Andy; different things like this have made me speculate on the possibility we could tie into Henry Cogburn's line but I've never documented this nor disproved it for that matter. Some time back I came across this photo inscribed on the back "Dearest Uncle George". Some have spoken of visiting with Mitchell "Rooster" Cogburn who I think was his son? I'm hoping someone might have a photo of Little George, or could show this to Mitchell or someone else who would know to verify or disprove my theory once and for all. I've seen the photo of Little Geo and another man with their dogs & guns that is on a website and of him as a younger man; this photo is of an older gentleman, but I can surely imagine they might well be the same person at a different time in their life. I would appreciate it if someone would be willing to look at the photo and I would certainly be more than glad to forward it. Thank you, Sandra

Donna, thank you so much for your post. I had surely hoped to have gotten more response on this and look so forward to the pictures. Yes, I would like a copy of descendants also if you would and would be so glad to share what I have, but it is so little as it is the father of my grt-gf I seek to get a name and info on. Therefore, I'm not sure where I fit in. My thought process has been that my grt-gf William I. (we have Isiah though I've also seen it Isaac) Cogburn born in Ark 4/26 1872 may have been a nephew of George from little clues I keep trying to put together. William's father died before he was born, his mother Louisa/Luisa/Luiza (so many spellings!) White Cogburn remarried (Adam F. Whisenhunt) and they started their own family and then moved to TX; we have no info on Wm's father and his family; what little info I have on his mother came through the Whisenhunt line. I unfortunately did not start my family history until my grandmother/Wm's dau passed away as well as her siblings except for the youngest who seemed to really know nothing. She has since passed away also, but for some years before, I quit asking her questions as it seemed to upset her that she did not know the answers and then of course later her memory worsened as well. So I've really been up the proverbial creek as I find what I think are good clues but can never document any of them or they fizzle out. Would you like me to send you the picture I have of "Dearest Uncle George"? I would be glad to. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks! Sandra

Re: My Photo -- maybe of Little George Cogburn???
the stories of little george keep getting bigger! i was in hopper arkansas last weekend and went up to fancy hill cemetry otherwise known as cogburn cemetery. we found little george's headstone, on the back it listed his two sons, mitchel "rooster" and scott something, i took a pricture of it to put on findagrave.com but i couldnt see it for a cross that was in the way. the story that i heard from my boyfriend is that little george had quite a temper and killed a man. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=1...;

Hi Sandra, My Grand Mother Margaret Cogburn was Little George's and Andy's sister. They were raised in the Fancy Hill and Caddo Gap Area of Southwestern Arkansas. My Uncle and I were talking about this this morning and he told me the story about the "shooting scrape" that landed Little George in trouble with the law. I would love hearing from you at your convenience. 615-883-3142 or just email me with yours with the best time to reach and I'll be glad to call you. With Respect, Tom

Hi Donna, My Grand Mother Margaret was Little George's sister. My Great grand parents, Mary and Francis were George's parents. I would love to see the pics if you still have them. My number is 615-883-3142 or you can email me with yours if that's easier for you. Look forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Tom Busselle
