Hi Jean
Thank you for your E-Mail.
I can fully appreciate the frustrations you when encountering the various
spellings of the surnames. Unfortunately, I think it is an area that either
can't or won't be resolved.
In my case I have placed my confidence in the spelling of 'Cawthorn' from
the research that I have carried out from the root source in Yorkshire<
England that went back to the early 1300's.
If anything concrete turns up in the future possibly we exchange the
information.
Regards
Ron C.

I joined the Cawthorne Family Site several years back and at that time
thought my research would soon lead to England and that spelling of my
family name of Cothern. Now my book of Cothern Clan is up to 1,000 pages
with the indexes and I have the following spelling of the names of our line:
Cothern (731 people), Cauthon (703), Cawthon (424), Cauthron (115), Cothran
(87), Cothren (56), Cawthorn (44), Casthron (29) and Cothen, Cotheran,
Cothon (2 each) and Cathon, Cathron, Caughthorn, Cauthan, Cauthorne,
Cawthren, Cothorn, Cothram (1 each). So obviously Cawthorne IS NOT a good
choice name for the site that I am in. It would be wonderful if all people
with the various spellings of the name could be in ONE site so that
information could be shared more readily. Any thought? Jean Rodwick
