Hi Jim-
Im responding to this because of two similarities:the problem of confusion
between generations on the spelling of the
name - Courtney vs. Coatney, and the fact that one of the children has the exact name
of my Gr Grandfather. (Marion J.)My family
is from Smith and Jones Co. Mississippi.Do
you have any knowledge of your family having
any connections there??My Gr Grandfather
and his children spelled the name Courtney,
but I finally found his father, Wiley C.
Courtney, in censuses of 1850, 60, and 70,
and in a land patent in Arkansas under the
spelling of Coatney.I'm starting to wonder
what it's supposed to be.Pete
