Sheila, No, Olivia was just proud of herself for figuring out how to answer at the top of the messages with her new laptop. <grins> Thanks for all your help to everyone. Like Lorraine said, cousins stickin' together. The cousin who answered my question about my BYRD family the other day, we don't think our BYRDs are connected? However, he mentioned his mother's PEACOCK line. I told him I had one too. We found out that his John PEACOCK was my Lydia PEACOCK's brother, well, his John Peacock married Drucilla SULLIVAN and my Lydia Peacock married William SULLIVAN brother of his Drucilla. So, it pays to discuss all these family lines! Never know when and how they might jine up. Cousins by the dozens! Sharon Sharon, Did I miss something?

Help guys what Byrd family.....................ok here is what I ran into and don't know quite what to make of it.................................... My Cothran line....................hourse of a different color I know, you guys most of you have never heard me use that Surname before. It is my Grass Roots, the Surname that got me started in all of this years ago, it was my birth name! Ok, my Dad died when I was 3 so I wanted to know more about his family than what I had known about growing up as a kid so I jumped into genealogy......................................... I have an old bible record.....................goes way back, used it as a guide to get started. Found all of them, it took some doing but I did it with a ton of help from others. Ok now here's where the BYRD came in! An Uncle going back that it, he was my Fathers', Father's Father's brother! His name was Edward A. Cothran seen as Cothrun at times! His obit called him Judge Cothran, it aslo called him E.A. Cothrun. He died in Gadsden AL. while working as a type setter for the Gadsden Times Newspaper, which at the time was owned and operated by William Marion Meeks, who was the husband of Mary Jane Cothrun who happened to be E.A.'s niece! He visited back and forth from AL to Hamburg, AR to the county of Ashley. He went to visit his children there! They were both born in GA but I have no clue as to where???? He met and married Miss Mary Ann WHITE in old Benton Co. now Calhoun Co., AL Sept. 25, 1851.......................Mary Ann shows on the 1850 with her parents John H. White and Rachael. I can't find E. A. at all that year anywhere. I can't find them on the 1860 US census or index either one! But sometime between 1851 and 1870 he and Mary Ann White had two children that I now know of. William B. Cothran b. abt. 1855 GA d. Ashley Co. AR they called his Willy he took up trade of Carpenter. Neddie, Maddee Cothran b. abt. 1862 GA have no further info. on her at all............................ IN 1860 I did manage to find John H. White and Rachael and the same list of kids in Carter P.O. Hamburg, AR................................ I found them again on the 1870 same exact place but with the two mentioned above Cothran children, NOW you have to look close at the Old Census or you will miss the "C" in the Cothran surname. It is very faint but it is there! On the 1880 Maddee is still living with John and Rachael in the same place, but William is with a Price family down the road a bit and listed as William B. but the B is also very faint on the census! He is a boarder and working as a Carpenter which was his Grandfathers trade! I believe that Mary Ann White Cothran died some where in GA out from Atlanta and is buried there! With the children so young E.A. Cothran sent his two children to AR with Mary's parents to be brought up and taught a trade. And to give Meddie the benfit of having a female around! Next I find William B. Cothran buried in the Anitosh Cemetery there in Ashley Co. AR and in the upper right hand corner is the name BYRD No one seems to know why? Did he marry a BYRD? Or is this what the B stands for in his name? And if the B stands for BYRD in his name, where on earth did it come in at..........................was his Grandmother Rachael a BYRD? HELP???????? Also why was E.A. Cothrun called "Judge"? I did later see and had sent to me one of the many sips out of the Gadsden Times Newspaper.................................. I have a ton of them, anyway in this one it lists him as Judge Edward A. Cothrun.......................................... In a part of Atlanta GA I did find an Edward Cochran and his occupation was listed as Lawyer? NOW if I am not dead wrong, don't most Judges start out as Lawyers? Could this be him and they just missed him on the index? Help???????????????????????????
