Another source (Darren Altom) notes that Melissa Harwick and brothers John and Henry moved to Ark, and Henry had no descendents.
*There is a Robert Cothran on the 1860 Wayne Co., Census “ 29 male farming…Cothran Martha A. 24 F”. This Robert would have been born about 1831, could he belong to Ezekial’s family? Also there is a “Cothran JJ 27 M farmer 250001000 Tn ; Cothran Mary JF Tn19;Patrick 5/12.
There is a George H Cothran who died 11-10-1927 at the age of 71 from myocariditis; born Tn; documented in Lawrence Co.,Tn Deaths 1925-1938 page 620. Tngenweb.org/lawrence/lawd+38c.htm.
Makes him born circa 1844.
Notes on Keatons: (Darren Altom) George Keeton thought to be born between 1780-1784. The oldest daughter of George was Martha born about 1802 noting she gives her birthplace as NC.It is noted that George’s will was written 26 September 1834, and his estate sale was October 6, 1835. It is suggested that most of his children went to Mississippi and some to Pope Co.,Ark. As son Zachariah did. He notes Martha married Ezekial Cothran.
[email protected] TonyaAccording to this source …“Mary Ann Elizabeth Keeton”’s daughter notes in a amily story that “Keeton Springs” was a “ big spring on the road to Lawrenceburg to Waynesboro” and that the name was later changed to Giske Spring around 1940s or 50s.
