Is anyone in this neck of the woods doing Cothran or have any of you seen my bunch. I am working in the dark here as I can't place them before this area for a period of about 20 years or better. I have the Parents and their marriage, and I have the Father back to his birth. Then I have him later in life and up through his death. So I am missing the "Children's given names" I am wanting to find someone in the area who could check the index of the 1870 census for this County, and make a list of all persons by this surname All that I know right now is this, he had children living in this area around the town of Hamburg in 1875 as he left Gadsden AL and came into Hamburg to spend the Christmas Holiday's with them and did not return to his home and job until after New Years, this I got out of a local Newspaper in Gadsden AL where he worked with his Brothers' daughter and her husband the Meeks. The Parents of the children I seek were Edward A. Cothran nicknamed "The Judge" and Mary Ann White dau. of Blumer White. I do know that he lived in or near Atlanta at one time according to the Newspaper in Gadsden AL but now I don't know if that article meant Ga or some other place. I lost track of them after he and Mary Ann married in Old Benton Co. now Calhoun Co., AL in 1859 in Sept. that year. They did not show up there in the 1860 nor did I find them anywhere in the State on the index. I now must wonder if perhaps they did not follow the White's and perhaps out to AR. My Library only has one of the IGI's so I have not been able to find them that way either. Any and All Help welcomed!! Thanks, Gail
