Benn Family Reunion

Lesa1969 — 2012-12-23 07:29:21Z

Hi,

My cousin and I have been talking about planning a Benn family reunion in Sydney in February 2013 for the descendants of William and Jane Benn of Egremont, England. Most of the Benns in Australia are related so hopefully we can get a lot of people interested in meeting up with their distant and close cousins. Of course cousins off the sibling lines are also more than welcome, we'd love to meet anyone from the Benn clan.

Thanks,

Lesa Moore

Descendants of Thomas Jackson

geoffyoung1 — 2012-11-09 12:27:53Z

Hello All. A few cousins have been talking about getting together for a weekend. We have finally set a date - March 15 to 17, 2013 - at Halls Gap. Originally we thought we would try to meet at Ararat but found that it was not totally suitable. ( Where Thomas Jackson first settled ).
Richard suggested Halls Gap - not too far away but with plenty of accommodation and things to do. We would love anybody descended from Thomas Jackson to join us. Please contact us if you are interested and we can keep you informed as things develop. Would you please give us a 'yes',' no' or 'maybe' by email so we know that you know the plan. I have made tentative bookings for cabins and caravan sites at the Halls Gap Caravan Park. We don't have everybody's email addresses - so we would appreciate it if you could talk to others you have contact with.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Cotter / Dodd Family Reunion

doralee2000 — 2011-11-22 11:37:24Z

That all sounds very interesting Dafyyd. I shall read more on the weekend!! Thanks so much.

I did read up about Garrett (Cotter Dam) and it seems he was sent out there so that he wouldn't be able to mix with others and not get in any trouble!! Even though Golbourn & Yass were close ... maybe in those days it was a big trip. And then, not every brother gets on either. Especially if one has a bad reputation and the other is trying to buid one.

I am trying to find out who Mary is .. I've found one Mary O'Brien who married a Kelly. Makes me wonder if perhaps Mary Kelly was actually (nee O'Brien) and partly explains Lenny Cotter O'Brien.

Not sure you've seen this website .. thought you might find it interesting http://www.australiancemeteries.com/nsw/harden/galonghs.htm

Re: Cotter / Dodd Family Reunion

DafyddC — 2011-11-22 01:52:34Z

Hello Deborah,
The Cotter River and dam in the Brindabella Ranges is named after Garrett Cotter. Garrett and Michael Cotter may have been brothers, but I haven't seen any definite proof of a sibling relationship between them. However, I tend to think that it's possible as both came to Australia from the Fermoy region in Co. Cork, both were sons of a James Cotter, and various lines of Michael's descendants claim a relationship so, perhaps, the claim came from Michael himself?

There are however some things which don't support a sibling relationship. When Michael came to Australia, he was sent to "Tirranna" at Goulburn, and Garrett wasn't far away at Collector to the south of Goulburn, yet there doesn't appear to have been any contact between the two.

For example, in all the Christenings, Weddings, etc. of Michael and Garrett's children, none of the other "brother's" children acted as God Parents, Best Man, Bridesmaids, etc. which I would have expected amongst first cousins. Also, none of Michael's children were named Garrett, which would be expected if they were brothers, though Garrett did name his second son Michael (James was his first born).

So it remains possible that Garrett and Michael were brothers, but I haven't found any definite or conclusive proof of that relationship.

I think you might be a bit harsh on your Mum, the Cotter of Co. Cork were the descendants of the Sons of Ottar who were the kings of Dublin and who also controlled the Isle of Man (where they are still known as the MacCotters), and possibly also controlled Anglesey in Wales. Basically, they controlled the south Irish Sea from Dublin, Man and Anglesey till Brian Boru defeated them at Dublin, and the Welsh with a Scottish army drove them out of Anglesey.

They were also influential in the Scottish Hebrides and are associated with the clans McLeod and McLean.

The Ottars were Vikings from Norway, and they are the descendants of the Scylfings, the ancient royal family in Sweden (hence Ottar, from Ottar Vendelcrow). The Scylfings were based in Sweden but were driven out to Norway by the Goths (Geats) around 500 to 600 AD.

The "Sons of Ottar" Y-DNA project has proven the Norse origins of the Irish Cotters (see http://www.familytreedna.com/public/sonsofottar/default.aspx). Also of interest is the Wikipedia history of the Irish Cotters (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotter_family), and also Miriam Ellis's speculations on an Ottar, Uther, Arthur connection is interesting (see http://www.miriamellis.com/geneaology1.shtml). So, go and say sorry to Mum.

Cheers,
Dafydd Cotter

Re: Cotter / Dodd Family Reunion

doralee2000 — 2011-11-21 11:45:08Z

I grew up near Binalong. And was probably in town when that reunion was on!!! Would be interested to see if anyone got the 93 page document that was mentioned. Is Garrett Cotter the one that Cotter Dam was named after? My mum always tells me there is a connection .. and one to royalty *LOL ... sometimes I just don't believe her.

Re: Cotter / Dodd Family Reunion

whoiam1961 — 2011-09-09 22:07:36Z

Hi Ray

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the reunion. Michael and Catherine were my G-G-Grandparents. If you have any specific questions about them I may be able to help.

You will note on the Message board messages from Daffyd - he is extremely knowledgeable about the family and is quite prepared to help any other researcher, although I haven't contacted him fro a while.

Cheers

Re: Saul family reunion

lorrainestacker — 2011-02-21 19:32:57Z

Hi Wayne
Janet Gray was the daughter of John Gray and Mary (sometimes Janet) Hogg. John was from Dumbarton and Mary from Dunfanaghy Donegal. John and Mary emigrated in 1855 on the Golden Era with their 4 daughters. Mary's sister, Ellen, from Dunfanaghy, had previously gone to Victoria, and John's half brother followed John to NSW. Does any of this sound familiar. I am very excited at the thought of finding a relative of this family. There are a lot of us descended from Janet and her sisters.

Re: Cotter / Dodd Family Reunion

DafyddC — 2011-01-13 00:43:09Z

Correction to my earlier post...

Catherine Cotter, nee Dodd, was the daughter of Patrick and ANN Dodd (nee Connolly).

Re: Cotter / Dodd Family Reunion

DafyddC — 2011-01-12 02:13:05Z

Hello Bumbles,

Elizabeth Flynn (nee Cotter) was the tenth child born to Michael & Catherine Cotter (nee Dodd). She was born at Taylors Creek, Fish River, NSW on the 1st August 1855.

Fish River is now named Callaba Creek, and it isn't the present location by that name near Gunning. I assume Taylors Creek is a tributary to Callaba Creek (previously Fish River). There is a location named Taylors Flat in that area close by to Narrawa, and there is a Fish River Road near Narrawa, and a Dodd Creek close by.

Michael Cotter was the son of James Cotter, and he was born in either 1809 or 1812 in or around Fermoy in Co. Cork, Ireland.

Catherine Dodd was the daughter of Patrick & Catherine Dodd, she was born in Rathcool, Co. Dublin in 1818.

Hope that helps,
Dafydd
