Hazel Cotts babysat my sister and I from about 1954-1958. She and her husband, George, lived on a farm NW of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. We called her "Mimi".
I remember that she had a daughter living in Duncan, Ok, with two grandsons that i think were named "Skip" and "Tommy".
I called her in 1989 when my son was born.
I loved her and George very much.

I may be able to help some.

Abner to me is my great-great-great grandfather.
I'm related through:
1. His son, John Henry, who married Hannah Mariah Wolff (I'm related through the Wolff's elsewhere, also)
2. His granddaughter, Esther (Essie) Lena Black, who married my great grandfather, Foster Emmett Ferrell.

I'd love to trade notes. You (or anybody else with info) may reach me at 2Christou(at)gmail.com

Mary Ann Cotts (VA) md. Abner Black (PA) - WV

BarbaraAEyler — 2005-06-26 11:42:52Z

Looking for ancestors or siblings of Mary Ann Cotts, born 12 Dec 1818 in VA, who married Abner Black, born 23 Dec 1811. they were married 31 May 1835 in Washington, PA, but lived most of their married lives in Ohio and Marshall Counties, WV.
They had 10 children born betwn 1836 and 1860:
Rosanna Elizabeth, Margaret Ann, George W., Sarah Jane, Amanda, John H., Hugh, Isaac, William, and James Downing Black.
Any info appreciated.

Conrad Cotts

BarbaraAEyler — 2005-06-26 11:42:52Z

Margaret, This is some great information! I'd love to get into contact with the person who gave you the info on Conrad Cotts his family. I've suspected he is probably the father of my Mary Ann Cotts, since she was born in 1811 in VA(WV?) about the time he opened his coal operation there. I'd read about him and some of his family in various publications. I would really like to definitely link him to my Cotts family.
You mentioned two daughters - does your contact have the names of either of these girls?
The naming patterns of the family suggest a probable relationship. Abner Mary Ann Cotts Black's first son was named George, (possibly after her grandfather?), and other of their children have the same names of some of his sons. I didn't have Nathan in my list of his children, but I had all the other names you mentioned, plus a son named Henry. Also, according to census records, they lived either next door to each other in Wheeling or very close by.
I had never heard the name of Conrad's parents and would like to know where that info came from too.
My email address is bago09@aol.com. Please contact me.

looking for cotts family from scotland as far as i know my ancestors are from sandquar county of dumfries scotland. i also found out the cotts name originally came from england. if anyone has any info please email me at lgn_10@hotmail.commy maiden name is cotts

Re: Conrad Cotts

jayfrey1 — 2003-01-31 01:55:42Z

One of Conrad Cotts' daughters was Rosanna Cotts (1797 - 1863). She married Hugh Nichols in 1817. They had one child, a son, George Washington Nichols (1818-1902). Rosanna was my ggg grandmother. I was born and raised in Wheeling and have visited Mt. Wood Cemetery many times.

Hugh Nichols (1788 - 1863) was a principal investor in Wheeling's first iron mill, the Old Top Mill. He and Conrad Cotts, who was the first mining engineer in the Ohio Valley, obviously had a lot of common interests in their businesses. I don't know as much as I would like to about the Cotts.

This much I know, that Conrad's wife was Harriet. If he was married to a woman named Susan, then he was married more than once. Rosanna's death certificate names her parents as Conrad and Harriet.

Do let me hear from you!

Hi margaret,

I have no specific info on John Cotts. Would you have any info on his parents. It might help.

bruce048 — 2001-07-01 15:23:45Z

Hi Margaret,

I am really sorry this took so long. I really should look at my messages more often. I don't have a whole lot of info right now. I belive John is connected with Conrad Cotts. My information on Conrad was lost during a recent move. I do remember that his family was pretty big. Most of his family is buried at Mt. Wood cemetary. There are about 26 Cotts' buried there. I have sent a letter to the cemetary's address to see if they will help. I might also suggest that you contact Brenda Dunn at bdunn@multipro.com. She is also researching John and Elizabeth Cotts. Please keep me in the loop if anything turns up. I would be happy to give you the info I have but this space is kinda small. Would you be willing to respond with your e-mail address? Mine is bcotts@theriver.com.

2000-11-21 08:46:48Z

I have just been contacted with someone that has told me that the Catzs also had a spelling of Cotts. My family comes from Peter Catzs. According to my information they are from Sigel, Jefferson County, PA and that he was an elder in the Mount Tabor Church. I have been to the Cemetery and seen the head stones they do say CATZS. I have also seen the records that state that the name was changed when Peter took over the books of the church. To help determine if this works with you here's how I have it.

George Catzs + Sarah T.
Susanna Catzs
Conrad Catzs
Peter Catzs + Mary Brawdy
George W. Catzs b:29/Oct/1804 (my gggrandfather)
Elizabeth Catzs
William Catzs
Jane Catzs
Presley Katz
Rebecca Catzs
Mariah Catzs
Aaron Morgan Catzs
Oliver Catzs
Henry Catzs
Catherine Catzs
Elizabeth Catzs
Maria Sarah Catzs

Any help would be greatly appreciated. For more information I have posted what I have on www.rootsweb.com. To contact me my e-mail is katzdmd@juno.com. Thanks for any help. Lynn Raymond Katz
