Jack,
Did your ancestor, Richard Cotham, live in Pickens Co., Ala. near the Cottons and Bradfords? Richard bought land in Pickens Co., Ala. near Alexander Cotton, who possibly moved to Choctaw Co., Ms. along with members of the Williams family. A Richard Cotham bought land in Choctaw Co., Ms. from Robert Ringo, brother to Mary Ringo Cotton, wife of William E. Cotton of Pickens Co., Ala. There is a possibility that this Richard Cotham's name could have been Cotton because there was a Richard Cotton who on Feb. 14, 1814, bought 40 acres of land in Lincoln Co., Tn. and on 7 Sept., 1821, Richard Cotham sold this same land and may have moved to Pickens Co.
