Hello Vivian,
My name is Elmer Swank. I read your 22 Aug. 03 message on Thomas Cottrell. Did Thomas marry Susannah Ogan,1828? He is in the 1830 Greene Co. Census. The 1820 census has an older Thomas Cottrell. I am researching Lemuel Cottrell, and his son Rev. George Cottrell. Is Lemuel a brother to your Thomas? I think Lemuel was a Preacher. I also see Hyrum listed. Robinsons History of Greene County list Thomas Cottrell, Bath Twp. 1806, soldier in war of 1812 under Captain Shingledecker. It looks like they used the same names thru several generations. A William Sr. and William Jr. is also listed. Could William Sr. have been the father of Thomas, Lemuel and Hyrum. My Lemuel married Catherine Reaves, daughter of Asher Reaves, Rev. War Vet.,. They came to Ohio from Tennessee about 1812.
Does any of this fit with some of your information?
Elmer Swank Jr.
