The Cotton Family Crest
A younger scion of the family of Cotton, of county Cambridge, England, the Reverend fohn Cotton, born in 1584, came over to Boston in 1633. He was the son of Roland Cotton, a lawyer, who traced his pedigree to Waller Cotton, who died in .1445, the common ancestor of the Cottons of Landwade, baronets (1615), extinct (1863), and of the American Cottons. We have seen the bookplate [identical] of Philadelphia Z. Cotton, a descendant of the Reverend fohn Cotton, mentioned above. Drake gives a correct pedigree in his folio edition, but an incorrect coat of arms.
