Notes
Birth
Absent a birth record, determining the date and place of Albert’s birth depends on secondary sources. Particularly because Albert was a first child, it is possible that he would have been born in the home of a relative of the mother, rather than in the home of his parents. Disregarding that possibility and looking at residences, we see that his father lived in Readfield in 1810, but married Albert’s mother in Sidney. By 1820, they lived in Augusta. (All of these places are within, say, 25 miles of each other.) So, it’s reasonable to accept the place, Augusta, given by the Find-A-Grave source, rather than Waterville, as given by “Early Waterville Maine Families” and vaguely attributed to “Ancestry” and “cemetery record”. The death certificate of his daughter, Elvira, gives his birth place as Augusta. The birthdate of 16 Mar 1816, given on his headstone, is consistent with the birth sources and his obituary, and roughly consistent with census records, except for the claim of “March 1819” in the 1900 census.Evidence file #41
1860 census states age 44
1870 census states age 53
1880 census states age 63
1910 census states Mar 1819
Marriage Bann
See the Marriage fact for discussion of various dates for intentions and marriage.Marriage
The Sidney town clerk recorded intentions on 3 April 1846 and marriage on 19 April. “Maine Marriages”, a compilation of disparate records, gives 5 April as the date of marriage as does “Early Waterville Maine Families.” However, “Maine Marriages” also contains records giving a marriage date of 19 April. From this, it is reasonable to infer that intentions were recorded on Friday, 3 April, providing enough time for them to be read in church on Sunday, 5 April and the two succeeding Sundays, allowing a marriage later in the day on Sunday, 19 April. This is the date provided in “Descendants of Abraham Sampson.” The 1900 census is an exception. Its claim of married for 50 years would give a marriage date in 1850. Because it contradicts all other records, we must assume that the answer “50” was given simply as a round number.Residence (family)
The 1850 census record also lists a Harason Osgood, 50 years old, born in Maine.Dennis Cottle is listed on the same page at an adjacent dwelling
Occupation
Owned his landResidence (family)
The 1860 census also lists Martha J Bickford, female, 20 years old, as a domestic. It also lists Ananias Cottle, age 72, born in Massachusetts (but keep in mind that Maine was a part of Massachusetts before 1820).Military
Cameron County Historical SocietyI am skeptical of this. There was an Albert Cottle who served for Massachusetts.

Arrival
Purchased the farm of George Stevenson which was valued at $2500 in the 1870 census, five years later. Source: Clinton (County PA) Republican, (Lock Haven, PA), 22 September 1909, page 5, column 5.Will
See notes to Probate fact.Death
Fell off stairs in barn, according to Clinton (County PA) Republican, (Lock Haven, PA), 6 November 1901, page 4, column 4Probate
Albert (Lesley's father) died in 1901, leaving the farm to Lesley who promptly died in 1903 with the terms of the will not completely fulfilled. One term was that Lesley's sister Augusta (who was apparently incompetent) was to receive her support from the farm. To that end, she had resided with Lesley and his wife, Ellen. In the probate record, one can infer that Ellen quickly remarried, this time to Henry Llewellyn and that Augusta lived with them. With no one to operate the farm, there was no longer any means of support for Abigail (Albert's wife) and Augusta. Upon Lesley's death, it appears that the estate (including the farm) was liquidated and the proceeds distributed. Augusta lived with the Llewellyns and Abigail lived with the Confers.Endnotes
