Susan,I know this is odd,But i Found A marriage of a John Cotter To a Mary Foley.Ok it May just be coincidence.It was in 1858 In Boston.I dont know what year William and Ellen Married.I know Ellen was born in 1831.I will add it anyway.Just in Case.But this is the only Record i can Find Of A John Cotter Married to a Mary Foley.Could it be possible that John Was not the Father but a Brother.Who Attended the Marriage Of Ellen
