The last owner of the farm, Ballayemmey/Ballayeamon/Balla Geoman Moar, in Marown, was a Rev. John Cottier, the father of my gggrandfather, Claudus Thomas Cottier.

On a recent search on the Find-A-Grave website, I found that there is a John Cottier, b 1725-d 1790, who is buried in the same plot in Old St. Runius Church yard, with William Cottier, born 1752, died 1808, and his wife, Catherine Carolina Christian Cottier. William and Catherine Carolina Christian Cottier are the parents of Rev. John Cottier.

In trying to find into on the John Cottier buried in 1790 in St. Runius, I found a 1790 Marown, IOM Will for him that lists his residence, Balla Georman, and his wife's name, Elinor Cottier, nee Cannon. I have a 1751 Marown marriage record image that I found on Family Search for a John Collier (Cottier?) who married an Ellen Cannon in Aug. 3, 1751.

I've, also, found a 1733 death record image for a William Cottier, of Ballayemmey, Marown, a Capt of the Parish. On the same death record image, there is lised a John Cottier, of Ballayemmey, Marown, who died in 1732.

I'm trying to find if the Capt. of the Parish, William Cottier, who died in 1733, and the John Cottier (a Capt. of the Parish?) who died in 1732 are the father and grandfather of the John Cottier who died in 1790 and is buried in Old St. Runius, in Marown, with William Cottier, who died in 1808.

Any help on this Cottier line is greatly appreciated.
