	Notes for John W (Coutance) Cotanch: General Notes: In 1984 while researching the "Cotanch Family History", William H. Marsh of Wescoville, PA, wrote a letter to my grandmother, Mary Cotanch Mullen, asking for information she may be able to contribute on the Cotanch family. Below is an excerpt from both the letter and the book he later wrote called "The Cotanch Family History" which is available on microfilm through the LDS Library: "The emigrant ancestor of this family was John Coutance (Cotanch), who had come to America sometime prior to 1735 from Southampton, England. He was a sailor and had two sons, John and William. He died in 1802 in Knowlton, Sussex County, New Jersey. Descendants live in New Jersey, Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere. John W., b. in UK; d. 26 August 1802 in Knowlton, Sussex County, NJ. In the Tax Records of 1774 , p. 522, his name was spelled Cautonce. The records show that John Cotanch is his son. John, William, and Sarah Cotanch are all mentioned in the inventory; no mention of John W's spouse. William was very likely one of his sons. According to NewJersey Archive Records, the sloop Coutanche made port in Boston carrying goods from Salem, NJ. It is likely that John W. was the owner and master of that vessel. The dates were 1735 through 1737." "Archives of State of New Jersey" First Series Vol. XXXIX, Vol. X of Calendar of WIlls: "1802, Aug.17. Cotouch, John W., Sussex Co. Int Adm'r Thomas Paul.

This is the latest recound found thus far of William while he was alive unless you count the birth of his presumed son, Benjamin, who was born in 1786. The next record available on William is his father's 1802 estate inventory in which William is show as deceased, however Sarah, Williams wife, was still alive a that time. The Marsh book incorrectly attributes on page 1 and 2 a son to William and Sarah Cotanch by the name of John b.1777 in New Jersey. He goes on to list a child of thei John as William Cotanch who married Betsey Mineah and they had several children. Marsh was not able to list any further descendants from this line and the reason is becasue they do not exist. Marsh's source for the John b.1777 and William b.1799 is the Dryden, Tompkins County, NY 1850 US Federal Census in which John ios living with William, Betsey and children. However, inspection of this document clearly shows this to be the family of William C. Mineah with wife Betsey (maiden unkown) with his father John Mineah b.1799 living with them. Based on this, I have deleted this family from my records of the Cotanch family.

	Notes for John Cotanch: General Notes: Excerpt from "The Cotanch Family History" by William H. Marsh: "John b. UK; d. 17 June 1807; name of spouse not given. Two daughers, Charity and Catherine were mentioned in his will according to Snell's History of Warren County, p. 727, John was one of three commissioners of roads in 1768 in Knowlton Twp., Sussex Co., NJ. His will states that he also owned property in Hardwich Co., NJ" Abstact of the John "Cotonch" Will from Nancy Pascal's website: http://www.sussexcountyhistory.org/pascal/wlabco.html: "COTONCH, John of Hardwick. 1138S - W. 8 May 1807; Filed 18 Jun 1807. Daughters: Charity and Catherine. Executor: Barnabas SWEAZY. Witnesses: Vancleve MOORE, Isaac SMITH and Absolom SMITH." According to Ancestry.com's OneWorldTree entries, Barnabas Sweazy III, was born in 1768 Sussex County, NJ and died 25 JAN 1853 in Warren County, NJ. He is the son of Barnabus Jr. SWAYZE, and Phebe Knowlton and is buried in the Vienna Methodist Cemetery (old), in Independance twp., Warren Co., NJ. Per "Records of officers and men of NJ in Wars 1791-1815" (Trenton, NJ 1909) Vancleve Moore served in the War of 1812 and was commissioned as a Captain on 6 Sep 1814. He had his own Infantry Company that served under the 2nd Regiment of NJ Detailed Militia. He was the 2nd husband of Bathsheba Lucas, widow of William Sausman. Her parents were Uriah Lucas and Elizabeth "Coutant" who was possibly John Cotanch's sister. Uriah Lucas served in the Sussex County Militia during the same period that WIlliam I. Cotanch served and lived in Knowlton, NJ. According to Ancestry.com's OneWorldTree entries, there is an Isaac S Smith born 14 JUL 1778 in Knowlton, Warren, NJ who is buried in the Knowlton Presbyterian Churchyard. Cemetery Transcriptions located at the "My Raub (and more) Ancestry" website (http://raub-and-more.com/knowlcem.html) for this graveyard show: "Smith, Isaac S., d. June 29, 1854, aged 75.11.15; relict Catharine, d. Dec. 5, 1856, aged 74.0.7." (Note: This Catherine's date of birth 29 Nov 1782) This is possibly the same Isaac Smith who witnessed John Cotanch's will when it was signed in 1807. Is it possible that Catherine, wife of Isaac shown here, is John Cotanch's daughter, Catherine, who he mentions in his will?

3.	John Cotanch and unknown spouse. They had 2 children.

4.	Elizabeth Coutant-2 (John W (Coutance) Cotanch-1) [16]. She was born 1748 in New Jersey. She died on 20 Sep 1820 in Newton, Sussex, NJ [17, 18].


	Notes for Elizabeth Coutant: General Notes: I have placed Elizabeth as a daughter of John Coutance however this relationship has yet to be proven. Her husband, Uriah Lucas is shown in the 1774 tax rolls living in Knowlton, Sussex, NJ at the same time as John Coutance, Sr. and John Cotanch, Jr. and there are no other Cotanch/Coutance/Coutant families living in this area. Ina ddition, Elizabeth's daughter, Bathsheba Lucas, was married to Van Cleve Moore who was involved executing the will of John Cotanch, Jr. in 1801 in Sussex County, NJ. John Jr. would have been Bathsheba's uncle.

	Uriah Lucas is the son of Aaron Lucas and Sarah Unknown [26, 27]. He was born 1746 in Somerset Co., NJ. Residence 1774 in Sussex County, NJ [26]. Military on 11 Nov 1799 in Sussex County Militia [28]. He died 1801 in Sussex Co., NJ.

	Notes for Uriah Lucas: General Notes: AARON LUCAS, son of Frantz Jacob Lucas and Jannetje Aten, died in Sussex Co., N.J. and left five sons. Thomas Lucas, died 1824-25 at Lebanon, Warren County, Ohio. He was living in Morris County, New Jersey in 1761, when his son Abraham was born. He first removed to Pennsylvania. A Thomas Lucas, along with Abraham Lucas and Abraham Lucas Sr., signed a petition for the creation of a new state out of western Pennsylvania between 1776 and 1780. Further information on this branch of the family is found in Dr. John F. Vallentine, Abraham Lucas and His Descendants (1967). The title refers to Abraham Lucas, son of Thomas, who married Marcy Kelsey and lived in Washington County, Pa.; Mason County, Ky.; Greene County, Ohio; and Logan County, Ill. It has been possible to revise the Lucas Genealogy, as published previously by Vallentine (1967) and Yates (1984), upon discovery of the names of the children of Aaron Lucas. In a letter written about 1816, Dr. Moses Younglove stated that, "My Mother, as related, was the daughter of Francis Lucas, who with several sisters, came with their father from the city of Marienheim in Germany, to Livingston Manor in A.D. 1710, but being as reported there defrauded of Queen Anne's Bounty by Livingston, they went and settled at Raritan. "My Grandfather Lucas had several sons vis: Francis who died at Cambridge, Washington Co. N.Y. and whose descendants you know. Aaron who died at Sussex in New Jersey and left five sons: Isaiah, Uriah, Aaron, Thomas, Abraham, who removed with their families near 40 years ago to Redstone, southerly of Pittsburgh, and since again to Kentucky. Abraham was living not many years ago about 30 or 40 miles up the Salt River, Kentucky. "My Grandmother was sister to John and Thomas Antol? (Auten), low Dutch farmers on the Raritan River. "The above is a copy of what was written by Dr. Moses Younglove, son of Isaiah, to his nephew David, grandson of Isaiah". The location "30 or 40 miles up the Salt River, Kentucky" leaves no doubt as to the identity of the Abraham Lucas. He was found on tax lists in Shelby Co., Ky. just previous to 1816. Further, it would appear that the Thomas, son of Aaron Lucas, is the ancestor of Mr. Valentine. Aberham Luckas, Sarah Luckas, Uriah Luckas, Aaron Luckes, and Isaiah Luckes were customers at a Pluckemin Store kept by Jacob Vosseller & Co. from 1768 to 1775. Customers extended from below the Raritan westward into Hunterdon County and northward into Morris County. In some information compiled by James Isaiah Younglove, of Johnstown, New York, who died in 1906, are notes on the Lucas and Aten families. He states that, "Uriah Lucas of Hope Township was father-in-law of Susan Sausman and father of Bathsheba Lucas who married first, William Sausmann, second, Col. Van Cleeve Moore of Hunterdon Co., third Judge Richard Brodhead of Milford, Pike Co., Pa. Uriah Lucas married Susan Sausmann and had sons Uriah and Garret".

	Notes for Benjamin Cotanch: General Notes: In 1984 while researching the "Cotanch Family History", William H. Marsh of Wescoville, PA, wrote a letter, of which I have posession, to my grandmother, Mary Cotanch Mullen, asking for information she may be able to contribute on the Cotanch family. Below is an excerpt from the book he later wrote called "The Cotanch Family History" (self-published 1988) which is available on microfilm through the LDS Library: "Benjamin b., 3 April 1786 in NJ, Moved to Dryden, Tompkins County, NY, prior to 1819. Earliest Deeds of Tompkins co., B557, record sale of property by him and Sally (Sarah) to John Hills, 8 June 1819 for $2,300 (lot 59 Dryden). He was a stone mason. Benjamin married Sarah Baldwin b. 1782 in NJ. He died in Dryden on 13 February 1861. Sarah died 3 october 1867. According to the 1835 census there were six males and 5 femailes living in the house at the time. Only 2 of those persons were married; there were two females between the ages of 16 and 45; both unmarried. The family owned ten acres, 7 cattle, 1 horse, 13 sheep, 9 hogs and ten yards of linen. In the 1850 census only Isaac, George, and Sarah Baldwin were listed. Also listed as possible children were Phebe and Peter. Benjamin was buried with his wife in lots 930 in the Dryden Cemetery (Verified 6 June 1985). Not listed in the NY records was Jacob Cotanch, nor William. Both had apparently moved to WI by then. Death certificate of Jacob states Benjamin as the father and that Jacob was born in NJ; William was born in Dryden. He was listed in the 1850 WI Census as living in Marquette Co., 147 Indian L. Although his death certificate indicates that he was born in Dryden, NY, it does not say who his father was. We can only assume that it was Benjamin since his son Frank refers to his Uncle George W. in his journal. Benjamin and Sarah begat Jacob, William, Isaac, Phebe, Peter, George W." Note Benjamin must have remained in New Jersy at least through the death of his brother Peter in 1811 because his Jacob was born there prior to moving to NY, and per the following excerpt from the Marsh book: "Peter , b. in NJ; d. 1811. He had a son, John W., by Mary Fisher in 1805. She refused to look after the child, and after Peter's death, the child stayed with Benjamin for a short while and then went to live with John Clark. John Clark was a physician who lived in Belvidere, New Jersey." My research since the publication of Mr. Marsh's book has yielded a daughter of Benjamin Cotanch, Jane G. Cotanch, who was born in 1813 in New York. Benjamin' s eldest son, Jacob, however, was born in New Jersey in 1811. This narrows down significantly the time frame in which he moved.

	Notes for John W Cotanch: General Notes: Excerpt from "The Cotanch Family History" by William H. Marsh: "Peter , b. in NJ; d. 1811. He had a son, John W., by Mary Fisher in 1805. She refused to look after the child, and after Peter's death, the child stayed with Benjamin for a short while and then went to live with John Clark. John Clark was a physician who lived in Belvidere, New Jersey." The above excerpt from the Marsh book refers to John Clark as a "physician", however upon further research, it is discovered that Dr. John Clark was the "Reverend Doctor" John Flavel Clark of the First Presbyterian Church of Belvider in 1834. He was born on 10 DEC 1783 in Allentown, New Jersey to Rev. Dr. Joseph CLARK b: 21 OCT 1751 in Elizabethtown, New Jersey and Margaret IMLAY b: 3 DEC 1756 in Allentown, N.J Mrs. Mary Fisher (John W. Cotanch's mother) was a member of this church and she is shown in the minutes if the first meeting of this congreation on 2 Oct 1834. ("Fifty years : a historical discourse relating to the First Presbyterian Church of Belvidere, N.J.", by William A Holliday, Pastor, page 7). Since she is referred to here as Mrs. Mary Fisher, it is presumed she was a married or widowed at the time of this meeting. According to the USGenWeb Warren County Cemetery listings, a Mary Fisher is buried in the Belvidere (New) Cemetery, who was the wife of Philip Fisher: "Fisher, Mary, w. of Philip, d. Jul 29, 1859, aged 82.1.0" "Fisher, Philip, d. May 10, 1838, aged 73 yrs." If this is the same Mary Fisher, this may explain why young John cotanch lived with is father. There are two listings found regarding the marriage record of John and Theodotia listed in "Marriage records of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, 1795-1875 : being an index to the marriages recorded in the Office of the County Clerk 1795-1875": "Clark, Theodotia and John Catauch, Oct. 22, 1836, 3-125 (Wacke)" "Cotanch, John and Theodotia Clark, Oct. 22, 1836, 3-125 (Wacke)" In one, John's last name spelled "Catauch"and thother it is spelled "Cotanch". In both listings we find no "e" on end of Theodotia's last name Clark, as is referenced in Marsh's book.

Cotanch was last seen going towards the burning barn. The structure was entirely consumed, together with twenty-two cows, a span of horses, and the usual hay, grain, tools and other farm machinery. After the fire Cotanch was nowhere to be found and the suspicion was aroused that he might have perished in the barn. Yhis morning the debris and ashes were shoveled over and his remains were found burned almost beyond recognition wit one broken leg. It is presumed he entered the barn and trying to liberate the live stock met with some accident that broke his leg and perhaps rendered him helpless so that he perished in the flames.

Jane, Elisha and most of their children are buried at the West Genoa Cemetery in King Ferry, NY. According to the records from the cemetery association database (April 2005), cemetery transcriptions of the West Genoa Cemetery found online at the Cayuga County US GenWeb site, show the name on her tombstone as "Jane G. Cotanch, wife of Elisha, born 1815, died 1903". In the Biographical Review of Elisha Cobb, it states he was born and raised in the town of Dryden, was eventaully married, (The 1900 US Census shows they were married in 1848) and in 1849 they moved to Cayuga County. This indicating Jane's presence in the town of Dryden during the early part of the century leads me to believe she is the daughter of Benjamin Cotanch, as there were no other Cotanch families living in Tompkins county at the time. In addition, Benjamin "Catonch" is shown in the 1830 US Census as having four females listed in the household in addition to his wife. Two of these girls were between the ages of 10 and 15 years and are presumably his daughters Jane and Catherine; another between the ages of 5-10 years presumably Ann; and one is under the age of 5, whom we know to be Phoebe.

According to this history, the 1835 census for Dryden, Tompkins , NY lists Benjamin and his family. In the household resided 6 males, and 5 females. Of the females, one was age 16 in 1835. This would be the age of Catherine. The writer of the family history did not have the names of all the children in the family, did not list Catherine as a known child. I believe it is reasonable to accept Benjamin as Catherine's father on the basis of the above data."

It was then stationed at Redbone Miss., guarding fords on theBig Black River and engaging in skirmishes with bands of Confederate cavalry until Feb. 5, 1864, when it again became a part of the garrison at Vicksburg. Its next important service was in the Atlanta campaign, and it was before Kennesaw Mountain, occupying trenches and skirmishing during the most of June, 1864. In the battles before Atlanta in July, it sustained a loss of 123 men killed and wounded. It was occupied in duty at Atlanta until Aug. 26, when it moved forward in pursuit of the enemy, engaged in skirmishes at Jonesboro and Lovejoy's Station, and went into camp at Atlanta on Sept. 8. It was on the march to the sea, took part in the siege of Savannah and in the Carolina campaign was engaged at Beaufort, Whippy swamp, and at Orangeburg, where it crossed the North Edisto, waded through swamps and drove the enemy from his position. It participated in the battle of Bentonville and took part in the grand review at Washington in May, 1865.
