G. G.father Cottrill's shotgun wedding!!
Hi! Cottrill Cousins I am hoping someone out there can help us with this family puzzle.!!!
We have a marriage certificate for Martha DOBBINS 16,born Braxton, Gilmer CO., (residence)WV.married on December 31,1887 to Marion Lee COTTRILL 18,GILMER Co.,WV. Their son Alfred Arthur Charles COTTRILL WAS born TWO WEEKS later on JANUARY 13,1888 !!!!!ROSEDALE,Gilmer Co.,WV. I need Martha DOBBINS parents and her birthdate and death, Martha died between 1888-1891.We think she could have died in childbirth with a second child named Onie???Also is Onie a boy or girl? And what happened to Onie? We especially need,Marion Lee COTTRILL'S BIRTH & death information.He died between March 1891-late Fall 1891???We have a copy of their Marriage Certificate it listed two of Martha DOBBINS relatives but We are unable to read the initals as its in old script style but there are two DOBBINS listed as relatives.The clerk OF GILMER Co.,WV.on the Marriage certificate is Jasper N. KEE.
Was Martha Dobbins younger then 16 when she married Marion (Lee)COTTRILL???.
I also believe that Martha & Lee could have been cousins or somekind of relatives.Their son Alfred Cottrill was raised by Lucy Jane KYER(Lee's 2nd wife married Feb.26,1891. Lee was listed as a widower in the WV Marriage Co.,BOOK)and her 2nd husbband William (Bill) Henderson Cottrill[Lee's Cousin]. Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.S.R.Cotrill
