Cottrell Family Genealogy Forum
  
I am sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I also often take popular opinion when it is repeated in many different records over and over even tho there may not be legal documents to support it as record keeping in those days was sketchy at best. But if you will visit the Jesus of Later Day sites and probably another dozen sites posted on the net, you will find Nicholas married to Martha and born in Glasglow also submitted by people much like those who you got your information from. And don't forget, the Scotland thing also matches old family legend, and the England birth does not. Also I have some information from a PAID genelogist from the East Coast who is a authority and has written many books on the first settlers of the East Coast, and he says our Nicholas (1622) was not born in RI (the settlement he was SUPOSEDLY born into did not exsist then, as people keep insisting) and is not listed as a citizen there until 1638 right before the birth of his firstborn son, Jabez Nicholas Cottrell. I find that to dispute your information of Nicholas being born in England. Although I am sure there was a Nicholas Cottrell born there, there is also a Nicholas born in Austria at about that time.
