   Based on Uriah's will, plus John Cottle's will, plus various court
   records (and William's estimated age) I figure the children thusly:
   
   1. Charles Jedidiah Cottle - deceased 1780 so no part for him.
   Those eligible for 1/8th parts are the following:
   2. Elizabeth Cottle McGuire - deceased prior to husband's 1825 will
   (and _not_ included in John's will).
   3. (Charles) William Cottle - maybe alive in 1850 (in John's will).
   4. Ruth Cottle Nutter - reportedly dead early but included in
   John Cottle's 1850 will.
   5. Joseph Cottle - deceased 1852 (and in John's will).
   6. John Cottle - died in 1850. (He who made the will.)
   7. Hannah Cottle Foster - still alive in 1850 (in John's will).
   8. Sarah Cottle Hamm - still alive in 1850 (in John's will).
   9. Ann "Nancy" Cottle Pine - still alive in 1850 (in John's will).
