Cottam

[Casey]

I'm looking for information on William Cottam, born 1807, Martin, Lincolnshire. He emigrated to the US and died 1877, in Ohio. He was my great great grandfather.

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

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.
