Cotham family connection to Donham/Green family Is there anyone out there that can help me? I have found a census record listing Edward Cotham as the nephew of James F. Donham and Susan Ann Green Donham in the 1880 census in Bearhouse, Drew Co., Ar. James F. Donham is my great great grandfather. I have the entire Donham family documented, but I still can not find the Cotham connection. I do remember my grandmother mentioning the Cotham family years ago, but I never knew the connection. Is this connection on the Green family side? 1880 census~pg533C, Bearhouse, Drew, Arkansas James DONHAM Self M Male W 44 AL Farmer --- --- Susan DONHAM Wife M Female W 43 MS Keeping House NC SC Amanda DONHAM Dau S Female W 17 AR Home AL MS Catherine DONHAM Dau S Female W 13 AR Home AL MS Charles DONHAM Son S Male W 11 AR Home AL MS Leonard DONHAM Son S Male W& nbsp; 6 AR AL MS Edward COTHAM Nephew Male W 19 AR Works On Farm --- MS Census Place Bearhouse, Drew, Arkansas Family History Library Film 1254043 NA Film Number T9-0043 Page Number 533C -- |

Hello, I have been searching for the death dates of my Great grand parents, Henry and Catherine Sasser. I know Catherine lived and owned land in Drew County, Enow Comunity but can find no record of her death. It may be that Henry never made it to Ark. but the rest of the family did. Also can find no death for their daughter Mary Jane. It could be that she married and would be burried under that name but we know little about her except that she was my grandfather , Silas B. Sasser's youngest sister. Can you help me find them? |
