Welcome to the Cottam tribe portion of MYTRIBE.

The pivitol figure here is Charles Walter Cottam. He was born in 1888 in St. George, Utah, USA. He was married four times, having a total of thirteen children with his second and fourth wives, Sarah Ellen Manwaring, and Ruth Shepherd, respectively. He has many many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

See his ancestors and his descendants (you may be one of them).

The information on these files was taken from various websites, books, journals, and family records. One source, however, stands out in particular, a volume entitled "Thomas Cottom, Caroline Smith, Descendants". It was compiled by William Howard Thompson, and published by the Thomas Cottam Family Organization in 1987.

The information on these files has a particular LDS slant to them, as that is the religion adhered to by Charles Walter Cottam, as well as many of his descendants. We hope, however, that everyone will feel welcome here and find the available information useful. For more information about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, please visit www.lds.org

The information here is far from complete. If you have any additional information to share with us, or if you have stories, pictures, or personal items that you feel would be useful and of interest, please feel free to contact us.

The ancestor portion focuses more on detail, and less on quantity. For further information on long pedigree charts, see our links to other websites
