The family name is spelled: COTHRAN but maybe pronouced serval different ways.

Cothran in Dyer Co., Tennessee

MarthaBell43 — 2008-04-05 19:41:43Z

I think I have found my Grandfather in 1900 on the Dyer county Tennessee Census.

Robert Cothran is living with Wiley Palmer and family and listed as Wiley's nephew. This Robert Cothran was born Apr 1878 in Tennessee so this fits with the age of my grandmother Martha Elizabeth Campbell who was born in Tennessee in 1878. I need help finding more about this family so I can find if he really is my grandfather. He died in 1909 just before my father was born so my father never knew him.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Don't know if this is pertinent to your line, but someone on the Vintage Clothing board on ebay has a West Point uniform for a Wade Rushton Cothran, Jr, born in 1896 in SC. He also attended the Citadel, and they have both uniforms. Just an FYI, as I am not related to the Cothran line.

Re: Hiram Jerome Cothran/Martha Lucas (Ezell)

Lillian_Beasley — 2006-12-19 01:44:23Z

The information I rec'd on Hiram was from Balkum home page-Lee's family tree, he thought Hiram was b. @ 1799 in Oklahoma, with Susannah b. on 6 Sept. 1830 in ALA, died 22 Dec. 1912, which is my husband grandmother, guess the info on Hiram could be diffferent, tho I don't think he could have been born in 1848, he wouldn't be the fsther to 8 of his siblings..have no info on whewre he died or was buried, does this clarify or make it more confusing?/ maybe looking at two different Cothrans???

bslovinsb — 2006-12-18 12:48:06Z

This is an old post but, I will reply anyway, hoping that you are still out there. I am looking for Hiram Cothran who's folks were born in IL. he was born in Arkansas in 1848 and his father was Thomas Cothran who died after 1860 possibly in Howell County, Missouri. My Thomas Cothran was born about 1810 in IL but I know not where. Can you tell me more about Hiram? Where did he live and where did he die. Is he in the IL census data? have you found out more about him since you posted this. I found a very old Hiram Cothran in the 1820 census for Franklin County, IL. Where did Susan die?

Names travel through time carried by decendants quite often. Silas now lives in Paris, AR. Where the Shirley's have lived for generations. Emmit Void Cothran my Grandfather married Mary Shirley.

My ggrandparents were George King Cothran and Annie Hill Cothran. I've never looked into my family tree (for whatever reason) and now with no parents, grandparents or uncles, all I know is our family was definately in central Alabama in the mid 1800's.

I am looking for traces of Richard Howard Cothran, born 1892 in Inman, SC, and his father Richard Henry Cothran. They are my husband's Grandfather and G-Grandfather, respectively.

Richard Howard was married to Jennie Gertrude Guffey and had a brother, Roy Haynes Cothran.

Richard Henry was reportedly married to Nora Ella Serana Haynes. My mother-in-law remembers a story about Richard Henry killing a man and running from the law. Maybe Nora last heard from him being in Texas.

I would love to hear from anyone that can help. You can respond to me here, or e-mail directly with any information or leads.

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), Cawthron (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
