Biography:

It is to be remembered that one of the pioneers of Green Township was Abraham Cottrell.

He made his move from Virginia to Union County, Indiana and married Susan Hilderbrand, she, also, a native Virginian. And, later in that year of 1823, they settled on lands at the fork of Fall Creek/Lick Creek.

Abraham lived and farmed there until his death 66 years later. In politics, Mr. Cottrell was a Whig and later, a Republican. He was said to be an avid reader and very engaged with government affairs.
