Hello,
I continue to search for E.A. Cothrun. born in 1827 S.C. lived in Benton
Co. AL {at least he married there}
Near Atlanta he stated once
Etowah Co. AL where he died in 1876
He is buried some where in Ceder Bluff, AL.

Hello All,
I am trying to find and place on a US Census for 1860 and 1870 Edward A.
Cothrun b. Dec. 4, 1827 {information from family bible} in South Carolina to
William and Mary {Polly} Spillers nee Cockrum
{information from family bible and US Censuses and Will of George Spiller
Sr. of Greenville Dist. SC}
Edward married Miss Mary A. White of Jacksonville, {Old Benton, Now Calhoun,
Co. AL.} Sept. 25, 1851 {taken from family bible and Old Benton Co. Marriage
Book, held at Calhoun Co. AL. Courthouse}
Mary Ann White was the child of John H. White and Rachel {Jacksonville,
Benton Co. AL. US Census record 1850}
After this they vanish from sight..........................
I did find J.H. White in 1860 in Carter, Ashley, AR p.o. Hamburg
{same family based on names ages}
I did not find Edward or Mary close by...........................
I do have several newspaper accounts of this man,
In or about 1875 he appears again out of no where in Etowah Co., AL. working
for his brothers Daughter and her Husband as a typesetter for the Gadsden
Times Newspaper...........................
It lists him as this relationship to Mrs. Meeks several times, plus the
family bible would show further proof of this.
It states in these old articles that he travled to Centre, AL in Cherokee
Co. quite often,.......................his Mother and siblings lived there
at that time...............I have all of that!
It also states that he travled to Hamburg, AR to visit with his children.
The main one of interest to me was the one in Dec. of 1875 just prior to his
death the following year in 1876...........his obit also ran in this same
paper...........however NO mention at all of any children or a Wife????
What happened to Mary A. White nee Cothrun?
Who were their children?
Does anyone have any answers for me, even remote ones?
Gail
