My grand-fathers name was actually Thomas C Cogdell. There are several variations in the spelling, even among my present relatives. My dad was a Cogdell while married to his first two wives. When he took out his license in Lowndes County MS to marry my mother, he inserted the 's' in the middle. I have undocumented information that TC was captured, and died in prison in Alton IL. Thanks, Tom
