toddCottlesTue Mar 27 11:07:06 2001 I thought that J. L. Cottles was my ancestor until I obtained the Pension Records for the State. I now belive that the J. L. Cottles listed is Actually Isaac L. Cottles, John's Nephew.I can post a copy of the Pension records if it would help any one to help me.Thanks for the reply I will probably start looking in Tuscaloosa.Todd
