A Brief Sketch of Cottrell Family History


Raymond Forrest Cottrell, great-grand-son of Roswell Fenner Cottrell, accomplished Cottrell genealogy research beginning in the 1930's and in 1965 published A Brief Sketch of Cottrell Family History. This small booklet, traced the Cottrell line from back to Nicholas Cottrell in 1638 in Newport RI.

Raymond F. Cottrell (1911-2003)  was a Seventh-day Adventist theologian, missionary, teacher, writer and editor.

Following is the complete booklet, except for the deletion of information for living persons.
More recent data indicates that some of the names and dates are not correct but the booklet is largely correct.

This is an scanned/OCR copy. I have tried to correct all scanning errors but may have missed some. Use the above Contact link to let me know of errors I missed. The format is not exactly the same, and the spelling and grammar in the booklet was not changed. Some current editorial comments have been included in Italics.

NOTE: If you print any of these booklet pages set your printer so it will only print one page or your printer may print additional blank pages.
