OVERSTREET Was the James OVERSTREET listed in the Milita/Tax list 1801-1805 in Wilkes Co, GA, the same James Overstreet who married Ann STRIBLING and lived in Greene Co, MS in 1820.

Interested in information concerning a Burwell HOOD who was born in Wilkes Co in about 1791 to John William HOOD and Rebecca REEVES (REAVES). Burwell married Elizabeth MOORE on March 18, 1812 and they had five or six children born between 1815 and 1830. These included Paris, Lossen, Almeda, William, and Martha. I suspect that a six child(E.D.) was born to Burwell and Rebecca in about 1816 or 1817. I am a descendend of E.D. who came to Texas in the 1850's with his wife Mary CRIM. The bridge that I am attempting to make is between BURWELL and E.D. Would appreciate any information or leads that might assist me in this matter.
