[ref 36:117] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'At the death of Seaborn Cotton, in 1686, his oldest son, John Cotton, was invited to take his father's place as minister in Hampton. He did so temporarily but could not be persuaded to become permanent pastor until ten years later. Perhaps he objected to the idea of hereditary office in the ministry, but after the lapse of ten years he yielded to the urgent wishes of the people and entered upon a happy and successful ministry of thirteen years, terminated by his sudden death caused by apoplexy in 1710. It was said of him by a writer in the Boston News Letter that "he was very much and deservedly beloved and esteemed . . . for his eminent piety and great learning, his excellent preaching, his Catholic principles and universal charity, his profitable, pleasant, virtuous and delightful conversation, and for his generous hospitality to strangers. . . . He was an honor to his country where he was born and the college where he was bred and the family from whence he came.' Unlike his father he could not bequeath his ministry at Hampton to a son, but he did the next best thing -- he proved his successor with a wife in the person of his oldest daughter, Dorothy. Nathaniel Gookin who became the minister in Hampton in 1710, married Dorothy Cotton, and of their thirteen children Nathaniel, Jr., was subsequently settled over the church at North Hampton -- a curious instance of the transmission of the pastoral office in the same community from one generation to another of the same family for nearly a hundred years. buried in Congregational Church Cemetery, Hampton - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
