Tina:
I visited Cool Springs Baptist Church cemetery on my last trip home.I did not record a Emily or Elizabeth Brunson Cotton.The only Cotton I found was "Little" Clide Cotton buried very near Jonathan & Rebecca,
I am descended from Seth Joseph Cotton & Marian King Cotton as well as Jonathan J. Brunson and Rebecca Mittie Savage Brunson.Seth Avent is a son of Seth Joseph.I believe Emily is a daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca.The Brunsons used nicknames A LOT.I have Seth Avent married to an Emily Unknown, b. abt 1844 and I have the oldest daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca as Elizabeth Jane, b. abt 1844 listed as Emily on the 1850 Randolph Co, GA. census in Jonathan's household.
The cemetery has a number of unmarked graves.Jonathan and Rebecca are both buried there as are many of their children.I was looking for my ancestor, their daughter Sarah Ann Brunson who married James E. Nichols.I know they attended church there and had been told they were buried there, but found no headstone.
Would like to exchange info with you.Email me at [email protected].
