I'm searching for information on John E. Cottrell (sometimes spelled Cottrill) who appears on the 1920 census for Milton, Grant District, Cabell Co. John was born in 1864, probably in OH, and died in 1928. In 1910, he lived in Scott District of Putnam County. He is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery on Sugar Branch in the Hurricane Creek area of Putnam Co. John was married twice. His first wife was Virginia Unknown, b. abt. 1864 and died in 1904. Virginia also is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery. John and Virginia had at least three children: Catherine Ann "Annie" Cottrell, b. abt 1885, who married Aldophus "Dock" Billups; Homer Judson Cottrell, b. 1888, who married Adda Harbour; and an unknown male Cottrell, b. abt 1893. John's second wife was Victoria Billups, d/o Charles and Dortha D. Billups. Victoria was born about 1869 and her death date is not known. John and Victoria did not have children. I would appreciate any help or clues on identifying the parents of John Cottrell, his place of birth, siblings, additional children and maiden name of first wife. I have information on descendants of Homer J. Cottrell and Annie Cottrell Billups I will be happy to share. Thanks in advance. Jean
