Family:William Cottam and Margaret Lepper (1)

Info from 1850 Geauga Huntsburg Twp. Co. Census by "Reider" on "British Genealogy.com" 20-04-2005

The 1850 Census for County Geauga,Huntsburgh Township,Ohio, lists Wm. Cottam 45 Labourer Born England Margaret " 34 Born N.Y. Betsy " 16 Born Ohio Mary " 15 Born " Vincent " 13 Born " Susan " 9 Born " Fiddia " 7 Born "

Hope this is your family. I tried looking at 1861 and 1871 but could not find any members of this family Reider

His age doesn't fit the the birth date I have for him, but otherwise, it looks like it fits. Vincent was my great-grandfather, and the age fits for him. Other names, Margaret, Betsy (Elizabeth), and Susan were used later for his grandchildren and great-grand child. The location works too, because that's where my great-grandfather Vincent was born. Thanks for the information. I'll try to check into it. Casey

_________________ I am looking for the family line of Francis Cottam and Mary Musgrave whom came from Liverpool, England on the ship Jane and landed in Philadelphia on August 17, 1820. The William Cottam I found came over with this family:Vincent Cottam arrival date May 27, 1822 48 M London England Ship Thames Catherine Cottam arrival date May 27, 1822 53 F London England Ship Thames John Cottam arrival date May 27, 1822 18 M London England Ship Thames William Cottam arrival date May 27, 1822 16 M London England Ship Thames-He was born around 1805 I have found Vincent Cottam in Farmingtom, Trumbull county, Ohio in 1850 along with a William Cottam wife Margaret in Huntsburgh, Geauga, Ohio. This William is also born around 1805 and in England. If this William is the same as yours then he could have came over much earlier then stated. That is all for now if you need more I shall be willing to give you more. Thank you. [email protected]
