General Notes: Husband - William Cottom

---

He came to America from England during the Revolutionary war as an English soldier, but after a short time deserted the English and joined the American forces in their struggle for liberty. After the war he settled in Dunbar, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he followed farming, so far as is known, and where his death occurred.
