Need help with major brick walls

Question

I have a few brick walls both on my father's parents sides. I have been trying for years, I would like to connect these families on Wikitree. Can anyone help me?

These are the following profiles I need help with:

McCowan-296

Tucker-8167

Loman-93

Webb-12129

Wiggins-1275 (I'm not sure about the mother Burk-962)

Snowden-485 (I'm not sure about both parents)

Comments

Alexander, we could probably help you better if you said more about each brick wall. What specifically are you struggling with on each one? And it might work better to have one question per person and link to their profile.

Answer 1

For McCowan-296, look here at the bottom of the page and three children are listed on the next page: 
"United States Census, 1880," database with images, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MNWP-X7G : 26 August 2017), George Mc Cowan, Center, Sebastian, Arkansas, United States; citing enumeration district ED 180, sheet 590B, NARA microfilm publication T9 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.), roll 0057; FHL microfilm 1,254,057.

Hi Betty,

Go check your profile. It says there was a recent edit by someone else. The comment is odd. Makes me wonder if there is a bug in the WikiTree software and it got hold of the wrong record. But you might want to check to see who is on your Trusted List too.

Hmmm. Strange to change my data without asking. Weird.

Thanks Eric.

Thank you for your help. I'm so confused. I have found information for a Eliza Tucker marrying George McCowan. This William Defries whom she is buried with makes everything more confusing.
