Surnames: Cogbill, Orton
I am trying to find information on the family of my grandmother Beulah Cogbill. She did not have much to do with her birth family and I never met any of them. I will give you what little information that I have and maybe something will click.

Her father was Frank Cogbill and her mother was Lou Orton. I found out that they married on Feb 12, 1893 in Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Arkansas. Beulah Cogbill was born on Feb 26, 1895, she had a sister Ida Cogbill born on Jan 10, 1899, & a brother she called Buddy, I don't know if that was his real name. He was supposed to have been killed trying to jump a train. I don't know when or where but I think in Arkansas or Oklahoma. I think all three were born in Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Arkansas.

When Beulah Cogbill was about 8 years old her mother Lou Orton died. That would have been about 1903.
Her father remarried but I don't know when or to who and had two more children. Harold Cogbill and Flori Cogbill would have been 1/2 bother & sister of Beulah Cogbill. I think they may have lived in Oklahoma years ago then moved to California. I don't know where the last two were born but think Pine Bluff or somewhere in Oklahoma.

If it's the right Frank(lin) Cogbill, which I'm pretty certain it is, the 2nd wife's name would be Sarah Holloway(sp). Frank(lin) was my grandfather's dad's uncle.

Hi Lloyd,

My ggg grandfather was Gouldsberry W P Green; neighbor to Edward M Orton of Cleveland Co. AR. I thInk possibly GWP was raised by Zachariah Green Jr's 3rd wife whose maiden name was Orton.

Would you have any details of Edward's family history previous to his landing in Cleveland County during the 1850s?

Hey Diane -

Unfortunately Lloyd passed away a few years ago. I have been researching the Cogbill line and wish I could have spoken to him.

Best

Sarah Holloway was married to Beverly A. Cogbill (B.A. Cogbill), my great-grandfather. Franklin was half brother to B.A. Franklin would have been brother-in-law to Sarah, not husband.
