   Ashley and Nancy Jane were my great grandparents. My grandfather was Ashley Edgar, 5th child of 11. Ashley Edgar and Edna had two sons, Harold Stanley Bivens (my father), and Horace Edgar Bivens. I am Ashley Edgar's only grandchild. He was married to Dessie Collins, Edna then Lena Lucille Rayburn.
   
   I knew most of my grandfather's sisters and brothers. Ethel's son, Fred Gordon, took me to Mississippi several years ago to visit Ashley "Buck" Bivens' grave. I have pictures.
   
   I have not worked on my Cowell/Strickland line extensively but do have some information which I will gladly share if you will tell me what you want. I would also be very interested in your information as I am guessing that you might live in the area where Nancy Jane is buried and closer to source information than I am.
