Malvern Arkansas Cotten
This is my first time coming to this board.I am a cotten by blood, I was adopted by a bastage when I was a kid and as soon as my finances get better I plan on having my last name changed back. The cottens that I grew up around are some of the best people I have ever known, they are honest and hard working people who seem to have a mind of their own.My uncle (who was a preacher, and who we all called grandpa) was the most gentle, caring man I have ever met. I wish that I would have visited with him more before he passed.
I haven't done any research of my family tree as of yet, but I plan on making this my start.I was hoping that somebody could tell me where the cottens originated from.I would also like to know if we had anything to do with the Celts or if we originated from them too, but the Celts are from way back so I will be surprised if anybody knows.By the way I am from Malvern Arkansas, and I have three more seedlings to carry on the name that I am so proud of.
