Must be so freaking cool, to be related to Stonewall Jackson.

I have a confession to make and I'm a bit embarrassed by it.

I was wrong about my ancestor above, he isn't my ancestor as far as I know.

There are three Cowart lines in the US, i have relations with one of those lines but not the one that James J Cowart is from.

The confusion arose because I also have an ancestor named James J Cowart but I failed to realize the middle name is different.

I'm doing more research on the line that I'm from and I will post if I find anything interesting.

Family tree's are a hard thing to do, especially with more common names.

Yes, they are. Can you imagine if he had a family member named John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? That's my name, too, so I know how confusing it can be.

That's totally fine, These things are hard not to mess up.

Yeah, good news is I'm back on track now with the correct line.

I've already found some interesting things.

Very unique name indeed

Very unique name indeed

Not quite as unique as you might think! Whenever I go out, the people always shout, "there goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt! His name is my name too!"
