• Notes

  Note: COTTRELL Research Reports: R. Andrew Pierce, 1989; JudithH.Leudemann, 1990. Based on the results of both of these research reports, it is postulated (with strong circumstantial evidence) that Keturah was an un- listed daughter of Joseph and Mary (Holmes) COTTRELL. It is also postulated that Nellie JOHNSON in her 1937 BURDICK genealogy assumed that Keturah and her sister, Abigail, who both married BURDICK brothers, were sons of a Reuben COTTRELL because Abigail named her first son Reuben She may well have named her son after her brother, Reuben. Genealogists for many years have sought in vain for a Reuben COTTRELL who could be the father of Keturah and Abigail, with absolutely no success. Also note the strange name Royzell//Roswell in the Gideon BURDICK and Joseph COTTRELL family, which can be traced back to the HOLMES family!
