Birth*

Rebecca Curtis was born between 1770 and 1775 at North Carolina; 1800 census record of John Cottril mistakes her realistic date of birth, putting her and John in the 16-25 age group, which is unlikely since she had five children under 10, indicating a marriage date of around 1790, and an age of marriage of 15-20.^1,2

Married Name

As of circa 1790,her married name was Cottrell.²

Marriage*

She married John Cottrell, son of Thomas Cottrell III and Jane (Jennie) Brown, circa 1790; There apparently is no marriage record for Rebecca and ? Cottrell, but John lived near to the Curtis family in the 1800 census and is a highly likely candidate. Researchers of the Cottrell family (see Ancestry.com) list John's wife either as unknown or list his first wife as Sarah and his second wife as Rebecca; John appears to have moved to present-day Monroe County, Tennessee; William's 1825 will does not indicate where his heirs lived at the time.^2,1

(Witness) Census

Rebecca Curtis appeared on the census of 1800 Wilkes, North Carolina, in the household of John Cottrell; page 34, 2 males and 3 females under 10, 1 male and 1 female 16-25; inconsistent with John's 1769 date of birth from Cottrell family research.²

NoteB*

Samuel L. Cottrell, farmer and stock raiser, Atherton; Vigo county, Indiana, was born April 1, 1826, on a farm in Knox county, Tennessee, and came to Parke county when but four years of age with his parents, with whom he lived until his twenty-second year, and afterward commenced farming for himself on the farm upon which he now lives, in Section 31. His father, Joshua Cottrell, came to this county from near Knoxville, Knox county, Tennessee, Christmas day, 1830, with his father, John Cottrell, and his brothers, Thomas, Lindsey, John Jr., James W., and Emerson. Joshua Cottrell commenced farming in Parke county by renting land of David Lyons, being a portion of the place now occupied by Mrs. Modesitt. Here he erected a log cabin, and here lived for nearly a quarter of a century, when he finally moved to the farm now owned by Samuel Cottrell, which he purchased in 1842, and built the first cabin upon the place in the southeast corner of the farm. He was married in Tennessee to Elizabeth Chesser, and was the father of nine children, three of whom are now living. Mr. Cottrell's mother, a lady about eighty years of age, is still living, making her home with her son Isaac, who lives in Vigo county. Samuel Cottrell was married in Florida township November 26, 1848, to Miss Susannah Cox; and has become the father of twelve children, ten of whom are living upon the home farm in Florida. The children's names are: Joseph, Joshua, Sarah A., William H., Mary J., Isaac M., George W., Marilda, John A., Elizabeth A. and Harriet E. He is a member of the Christian church, as is also his wife. He has been a deacon in the church, and now holds the office of elder. He is a democrat, casting his first presidential vote for Taylor in 1848. His farm contains 373 acres, and has been kept under a fine state of cultivation by this observing and energetic farmer.

(Witness) Bio

Joseph and John both fought in the American Revolution while residing in Wilkes County. John enlisted in 1779 and his service was terminated in 1781. He fought in the battles of Ramsour's Mill, King's Mountain, Beatties Ford, Guilford Court House (where he was wounded) and in the Battle of Camden. By the time the war ended, he was a captain.
John and Nancy settled first (1787) in Franklin County, Georgia and later settled on the Eastanolle River in Stephens County where he hired a Mr. Pessnel, an Englishmen, to build him a fine plantation house. This house took ten years to build and became a landmark. He owned a grist mill and also commanded a company of soldiers who kept a wary watch on the Indians in the neighborhood. Nancy and John were staunch Baptists.⁷

Father

Andrew Fouts

Last Edited

28 Jan 2006

Birth*

Joseph Fouts was born in 1804 at Randolph, North Carolina.^3,2

Marriage*

He married Nancy Curtis, daughter of James Curtis Sr. and Nancy Mast, between 1812 and 1848 at Ohio; There is no indication when or where Joseph and Nancy were married. She was single in 1811 when she signed the deed selling her father's land and was the wife of Joseph Fouts in 1848 when she was a party to the ejectment proceeding. Her name does not appear in public records in between. I have no found an "extra" female of her age in the households of her siblings. Joseph apparently lived with his father Andrew until 1840 and Nancy could have been part of his household. The age of the female in Joseph's 1840 household is too young to be Nancy, but she may have been living there and merely understated her age.^4,2

Census*

Joseph Fouts appeared on the census of 1820 at Randolph Twp., Miami, Ohio, page 102, thought to be one of the males 18-25, whereas Nancy could be the female 26-44; this is Gary Schermunds's opinion.¹

Census

He appeared on the census of 1830 at Randolph Twp., Montgomery, Ohio, page 286, Joseph may be one of the two males aged 30-40 in the household of Andrew Fouts and Nancy might be one of the two females aged 40-50.⁵

Census

He appeared on the census of 1840 at Randolph Twp., Montgomery, Ohio, page 141, 1 male 10-15, 1 female 15-20, 1 male and 1 female 30-40.⁵

Census

He appeared on the census of 14 October 1850 at Randolph Twp., Montgomery, Ohio, page 384, occupation farmer, real estate valued at $700, no children; Nancy's age appears to be 51 but should be 61.³

Census

He appeared on the census of 2 July 1860 at Randolph Twp., Montgomery, Ohio, page 311, occupation farmer, real estate valued at $4,000, 2 unrelated individuals living with them; Nancy's age is given as 50, but should be at least 60.⁶

Census

He appeared on the census of 8 July 1870 at Randolph Twp., Montgomery, Ohio, page 733, living with Clay Hoover family, described as infirm and blind.⁷

Death*

He died between 1870 and 1875 at Randolph Twp., Montgomery, Ohio; no death record; given his condition it is unlikely he lived long past the 1870 census.⁸

Marriage*

He married Martha (Patsy) Morris circa 1820 at Georgia.^1,2

Census*

James Stonecypher appeared on the census of 1850 at 519th Militia District, Rabun, Georgia, page 318, occupation farmer, real estate valued at $4,000, 5 children at home.¹

NoteB*

Book By H.S. Stonecipher: On April 2, 1818, James and Martha Ruth started from near Eastonollee, Georgia, on horseback, each carrying one of the twins on their respective horses. James had Joseph, while Martha had John, as they attempted to cross the Tugaloo River to visit her parents in South Carolina. This crossing is known as Cleavlands Ford. Martha Ruth and baby John were swept off their horse by the water before James could put his baby Joseph on the bank, both mother and son had drowned. This baby boy that James laid on the bank of the river while attempting to save his wife and baby, is this writer's great-grandfather.

In 1821 he was married to Martha (Patsy) Morris. Some years later, he bought some of his father's land in Rabun County, Georgia, and built a beautiful home near Moccasin Creek, which is now Lake Burton. His father had a road cut through the mountains from Franklin County, which is Highway 17, going north from Toccoa, Georgia. It still is called the Stonecypher Road.

James became quite a wealthy man, according to standards of his day. Records indicate that he owned at least ten thousand acres of land along this beautiful Moccasin Creek Valley. Other records show that he owned numerous Negro slaves.

To James and Patsy were born a very large family of seven boys and three girls. Most of the eight sons of James were destined to fight in the Confederate Army of the Civil War. The youngest son, Franklin, died of pneumonia in a hospital on Howard's Grove Farm near Richmond, Virginia.
