Report #137799 from the Commission of the General Land Office for the District of Jackson Court House showing the land claims in the state of Mississippi lists Moses Strahan, Jr. as the original claimant. Date of settlement was March 1818, with the land being situated on the Pearl River. Asa Strahan, older brother of Moses, Jr. was in Mississippi earlier than March 1818, in order to enter his application for the land.
Moses, Jr. and Cassie Strahan died at Gallman, Copiah County, Mississippi, by the summer of 1834, possibly of a summer epidemic and their children were passed out among the Cottingham and Strahan families. One tradition is that the couple was interred on the family plantation along side of Moses who had died in 1833. On 26 July 1834, Asa Strahan made bond for $2,000 to administer the Moses Strahan, Jr. Estate, according to Copiah County Records (Book A, page 199). From the loose papers, we quote, "the intestate died possessed of considerable real estate situated in the County of Copiah. Also a considerable portion in the Counties of Hancock and Marion . . . . . ." A portion of this land was in the original land grant on Pearl River. Gallatin was the first county seat of Copiah, it being moved to Hazelhurst in 1872. The railroad had bypassed Gallatin.
From the 14 May 1972 issue of the Clarion-Ledger Jackson-Daily News, Jackson Mississippi, by Dorothy Afford: "In 1823, Copiah County was formed from Choctaw County, which was a wilderness of woods, cane brakes, and rugged streams. Even though there were no roads at this time, except Indian trails; it was a little earlier, about 1820, that Elisah Lott, an itinerant Methodist preacher, and his companion, Thomas Cottingham, found their way to the area as they explored on horseback from Hancock County........
Rev. Lott moved his family and all his possessions, built a house, and finally constructed a grist mill and lumber mill........The mills were run by water power and the lumber mill used a whipsaw... There young Wesley Cottingham, who had come to the area with the Lott Family, whipped out the lumber to build the first church for many miles around. Was it the Cottingham influence that made Methodist of our Scotch Presbyterian Strahan ancestors? Young Wesley Cottingham was a brother of Cassie Strahan, and Thomas was their father.
In 1833, the Choctaw Cession Counties were being organized and we find members of the Cottingham family soon moving from Copiah to the fresh new lands of Attala, Carroll and Holmes Counties. With them came four of Cassie's orphaned children, Jack, Lucy, Frank and Margaret. Others may have come, but we find no verification.
