Cottingham Guestbook 2000

Comments:
I am searching for information on the James Cottingham born abt. 1844, I don't know where. He passed away March 13, 1901 and is buried in Georgetown Cemetery in Georgetown, Colorado. I was shone where his grave is by my Grandmother Verna Mae Browning before she passed away. I have photos as well. He married Jane Cantrill, born May 10, 1847, whos family I believe was from Gunnerside, England. She died in 1929 and is Buried in Fairmont Cemetery in Denver, Colorado. I have been told that they came across in a covered wagon from somewhere in the East and settled in Georgetown, Colorado. They had 12 or 13 children, all of whom were born in Georgetown, CO. They are: Mary Jane Cottingham, born 1868, died in 1900, married D. L. Golden. Elizabeth Harriet Cottingham, born abt. 1870, married Harry Taylor. Miles Cottingham, born 1872 who had a daughter named Dorothy and a son named Miles who I believe married a Ruth Skeen whos mother was from Texas, and I have reason to believe that he resides there today and has children there. Hannah Cottingham, born 1876, married Thomas Keough. Joseph Cottingham born around 1888 and died at age 50. Ester Cottingham, born 1881 and died in 1928, married George Lucas. William Cottingham, born 1884 and died in 1902 at 18 years old having Muscular dystrophy ( a disease carried throughout my whole family line.) Mable Cottingham, born 1889 and died in 1972, married Fred Kugler. My Great Great Grandmother Lavena (Verna) Cottingham, born Oct. 2, 1891 and died Sept. 28, 1958 and married Irving Knox Browning. I believe there were 3 more siblings that passed away in infancy. Anyone having any information on James Cottingham and his side of the family or Jane Cantrill for that matter, please contact me through my above E-Mail address. I will gladly share whatever information I have as well as photos and family stories!!! This is one of the neatest Web sites I have ever visited. Keep up the awesome work!!!

I am not looking for a Cottingham myself, but my mother in law is. Her and I have been researching our seperate family histories for a long time, and I thought I would have a look for her, as she has no access to a pc. Her maiden name is Cottingham and he family so far reaching a long way back are from Lincolnshire. I have found some very interesting things which I will endevour to keep passing them on, and on the website I have seen names that do ring a bell, so I will keep you posted I anything comes to light. Great website - I wish there was one for my surename but unfortunately there are too many Ellis people !!!!!!!

My Cottingham Ancestor:: Pierce Cottongim

Comments:
I have records of my cottongim family going back to the first immegrant arriving on the Primrose. I am very interested in becoming a part of your listing and getting regular up dates. My grandfather was John Westernfield Cottongim son of Pierce and Margaret Stivers Cottongim. We held our 28th family reunion yesterday at the old home place of John W and his wife Lydia Cornett Cottongim they raised 12 children there. There were 121 family members in attendance. John and Lydia had 63 grandchildren of which 41 or still living, 27 were there yesterday along with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We meet the first Saturday in October and the old Cottongim Homeplace Cabin in Pulaski County, Ky. My Grandfather migrated to Pulaski County from Little Goose Creek i Clay County because of a feud between neighboring families of which he was afraid he was going to be come embroiled in. That in its self is and interesting story. God Bless all my cousins, hope to hear from some or all soon. Doris.

My Cottingham Ancestor:: Lydia (Leddy) Cottingham b. ca 1835 daughter of John Wesley and Elizabeth Matilda Wallace

Comments:
Within hours after exploring your site, I found Lydia's ancestors! All I had known about her was that she was from Mississippi, and that she came to Texas in the 1850s. I am thrilled! Lydia married James Miller King. Their daughter Katherine (born in 1857 in Burleson County Texas)was my great grandmother. My own mother, who died earlier this year at age 84, would have loved knowing about her beloved grandmother's ancestors. I'd like to think they are all together having a good time in heaven now...
