More Cottens in North Texas
On behalf of my wife Sibyl Louise Cotten b.1943 I'm researching her ancestors on her father's side. He was Alexander Clarence Cotten b. 1914 Era TX d. 1996. His father was Jesse Oscar Cotten b. 1887 d. 1943 Gainesville TX. His father was Isaiah M Cotten, b. 1851 d. 1940. Other recent relatives are known in the Ft Worth and Gainesville TX areas. Family scuttlebutt says family (we think maybe Isaiah) migrated to North Texas from Tennessee with two sons (could be Jesse Oscar and an R. Clarence Cotten); one son stayed (if assumptions are correct that would have been Jesse Oscar), while the other son (R Clarence?) continued on westwards and no trace of him or any descendants from him have been identified.
Having searched all of this forum I'm struck by how many Cottens are listed in North Texas, many migrating from Tennessee, etc.; but none of the above names appear to be mentioned. Any connections that might fit please contact Ralph Alter at [email protected]. Thanks.
