Description
"The author traces the ancestry of his six main lines; Cottrell to William Cottrell in England in 1616; Cosby to Francis Cosby in England in 1510; William Joshua Taylor to Ireland in 1645; John Lashbrooke in Scotland in 1650; John Campbell in Scotland in 1786; and Robert Brasseur in France in 1598. He brings each of these direct family lines as they venture and settle in the new world and then traces their travels across this great nation until each line joins to his parents Taylor Cosby Cottrell and Estella Zalame Brashear. Although this book documents his genealogical research it is organized by times and locations tracing each family as they depart Europe, arrive in the new world in Virginia, and then spread across America. It contains additional information about the areas in which they lived and the hardships each family faced. An all-name index is included as well as a table of contents and extensive footnotes throughout. Diagrams show family groups which makes research easier while graphically showing how these families joined through the years eventually reaching the author's father Taylor Cosby Cottrell and his mother Estella Zalame Brashear."--Amazon.
