Ed & Bertha
These names are not same Pierce Cottongim group. Places he is
referred to as John Pierce others just Pierce. Many of the Given names are
the same as our given family names so I feel sure there is some connection
somewhere but as of yet not established. Any ideas....I wonder who the
Dorothy Cottongim is that has the Bible? My Grandfather was John
Westernfield Cottongim. He married Susan Weaver, then Rachel Owsley, then
Lydia Jane Cornett. If you can shed any light please...I will do the same.
Stay in touch... Doris
