This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Marriott, Cotter, Burtle Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UkB.2ACI/4805.1 Message Board Post: I descend from Andrew Jackson Marriott, brother of William Ephraim. Also Cynthia Ann Burtle (Andrew's wife) and Ellen Burtle (William's wife) were sisters. My g. grandfather, Charles Isaac (or Ignatius, as some have noted) Marriott’s first wife was Mary Elizabeth Cotter and 3 of her sisters married 3 of William’s sons. So we are related in various ways. Charles Isaac had most of his children by his second wife, Martha Ellen Holcomb (after Mary Elizabeth died ) in the vicinity of Collin County, before the family moved to Oklahoma in about 1904. I have some information on William’s children but not much further than that. I would be happy to share with you what I have. As far as I know, all of my family spelled the surname with an "a".
