My Cotter ancestors came from Inchigeela in County Cork, Ireland. A unique first name among the Inchigeela Cotters was the name Sylvester, and I have not been able to find this first name among any other clans of Cotters. I would be most interested in hearing from any reader who has a Sylvester Cotter in your ancestry, so that we can see if these Sylvester Cotters can be traced back to Inchigeela. I have seen a trace of a Sylvester in Arizona and another in Ohio, and would love to make contact with any member of these families. My email is cantobre@eircom.net. I have done quite a bit of research into my family and can trace them back to a Sylvester Cotter who was born in 1737 and died in 1804, so, if you have a Sylvester in your family, there is a good chance that I may be able to give you lots of family history, so, don't be shy, remember cantobre@eircom.net.
