COBLE, CORTNER, COTNER, CURTNER, MARTINDALE, MULLENIX posted by Daniel Cotner on Sunday, August 30, 1998

I am trying to connect 2 Solomon COTNERs.

1. Solomon COTNER b. 1843 possibly in Montgomery Co. or Darke Co. of Ohio. m. Kesiah MARTINDALE 19 dec 1867 b.1847. Solomon is buried in Crooked Creek Cemetery of Cass Co. of Ind.. He died 1910 and his wife is buried with him. I suspect he is a son of the next Solomon COTNER. I cannot prove but will welcome any info on the fact that he had a brother by the name of Ransom COTNER whom was my ggrandfather.

2. Solomon COTNER b. 1794 possibly in Shenandoah Co., Va. (originally Orange Co.) d.1871, where ?. m. Elizabeth/Betsy MULLENIX (Mullinac) I think he is a son of Daniel CURTNER and Mary COBLE. In our local FHC, I found a microfiche on Ohio that list a Solomon COTNER m. Betsy MULLENIX in 1821. I suspect and am looking for the connection that he is a brother of Eli COTNER b. Jan 1795 Shenandoah Co. Va. (originally Orange Co.) to Daniel Cotner (CORTNER, CURTNER) and Nackey MULLENIX b. 1798 N.C. (looking for more info on her also) Eli and Nackey are buried in Crooked Creek Cemetery of Cass Co., Ind.

Can anyone tell me where I might acquire a book by Neal M. Cotner "A Window to the Past: A History of Peter Gortner-Cotner, 1704-1753: His Descendants and Associated Families."
