Crilley: I need to find Edward A. Cothran (sic) or E.A. Cothran (sic) on the US censuses of 1860-1870. I know where he was in 1875 and in 1851 but can't place him in home with his own children after marriage to Mary Ann White in Calhoun Co., AL then Benton Co., AL.........................They had married in Sept. of that year right after the 1850 was taken. I have them both for 1850 as well...............I have a huge gap for him. I have gone into the GA Archives but can't seem to find the Atlanta Area GA Censuses for that year which is where he is said to have lived prior to being in Gadsden, AL in 1875 employed by his Niece and her Husband working at the Gadsden Times Newspaper office. In an article from that old paper he went for Christmas to Hamburg AR to visit his children there, but without names for his children I am having no luck following this branch on down................ Can you help me. His Mother Mary sister Irene and brother George are seen living in Fulton Co. GA that same year on the US Census of 1870. In 1860 they were all living back in Centre, AL Cherokee Co. with Andrew Jackson Cothran CSA still alive and well, he then joined the 19th AL. Inf. Co. H and was killed during the war. I can trace Mary up to her death back again in Centre, AL after the 1870 Census was taken until her later years. But main problem is with E.A. Cothran seen also at times as Cockrum and Cothren and Cothron among other spellings. Is there an index for that year for Fulton Co. GA? Gail
