COTTRELL, COTTRILL
I need information on WILLIAM COTTRELL. He lived in Lawrence County in l820. He had a son named Thomas Cottrell born in l8l7. I need to know any other members of William’s family. Thomas married a Mary Ann Shelton on Dec. 27, l838 in Lauderdale County and his family lived in Lawrence County from l840, l850, l860 per census records. Something happened to Thomas between l860 and l870, his wife and children are listed on the l870 census for Lawrence but not Thomas. It seems that the Cottrell’s lived in a community named Appleton. I will share any information I have with anyone who thinks we might be related.

Her sister Della ORTON White died recently, in Oct. I don’t know their Papa’s name but he lived in a little 2 room house on a creek outside town and he was born 10 Aug. 1880-something. I think he was widowed many years. He died in the mid-1970’s at 90 or so years old. If you have any info that could help fill in the blanks or lead me back further in time, particularly on the RICHARDSON side, I would be greatly appreciative.

DOBBINS, CRABB, POWERS
My ancestors, Richard “Dick” (b ca 1846) and Permelia Angeline POWERS (b. ca 1844) appear in the 1880 Lauderdale Co., Alabama census with their large family. I have found no marriage records for them and no proof of Angeline’s maiden name, although, according to family legend, it was either DOBBINS or CRABB. My grandmother told me long ago that she thought they were from Lawrence Co., Tennessee and there are DOBBINS and CRABB families living there in that time period. I have been unable to connect them to any of the CRABB, DOBBINS or POWERS families in 1830 – 1880 Lawrence Co. census. Angeline later married Simpson KENNEDY in Lauderdale County AL in 1890 and in 1895 she left him and went to Arkansas. I do not have death dates for Richard and am not sure if he died before Angeline remarried or if they were divorced. Can you help? I’ll appreciate any info at all! Thanks.

Their daughter Malinda Jane was my ggggrandmother. She married James J. TUTTLE on Nov 11, 1841 and moved to Clark County, Arkansas where she died in 1861. I have ten children listed for David and Elizabeth DAME. Several moved to Arkansas I believe. If anyone has any info on this family that they would be willing to share,I would really appreciate it.
