Notes

"This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!!

I think this John Cotton/en was a sailor in his youth or at least took several trips out of the colony. I also agree with Hikaru that he might well be older brother to Thomas and Walter Cotton/en of Surry County and that they all were born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire son of a William Cotton.

1661 Will Drummond used him as a headright on 20 Sept 1661 for some land in Westmoreland.

1666 He appeared again as a headright on 26 Oct 1666 when John Paine was patenting on the Rappahannock.

1668 In a 1767 deed John Cotton noted that he had a proprietary grant dated 1 June 1668 of 640 acres north of the Roanoke river, land that was later in Northampton County Although the deed states the John Cotten of Bertie was the patentee it is obviously his father.

1676 John and Ann Cotton were living at Queen's Creek.

1677 John Cotton was living in York County when he sued John Harris et al
(York Deed and Will Book #6, p. 26) Also see the deposition 1681 of an 1679 incident given below from the York County Records.

1693 This John Cotten appears to have moved to Isle of Wight where he died by 1693 after marrying the widow of Thomas Abington. John Penny was "looking after the estate of John Cotten, dec'd."

Letter from John Cotten to his wife dated June 9, 1676

To his Wife A. C. at Q. Creek. My deare, Allthough those who have depicted that fickle Godes, Fortune, have represented her under various shapes, there by to denote her inconstancys; yet do I thinke there is not any thing sublunary subjected to the vicissetudes of her temper so much as is the condition and estate of man-kinde: All things ells partakes som thing of a stedfast and perminent decree excepting Man in the state of his affaires. The sun is constant in his Anuall progress through the Zodiack, the Moone in her changes, the other Planits in their Asspects: The productions of the Earth have a fixed constant season for there groath and increase, when that man (in his creation litle inferiour to the Angles) cannot promise unto-himself a fix'd condition, on this side Heaven.

How many hath thou and I read off, that the sun hath shined upon in the East, with honours and Dignityes, which his western beames hath seene clouded with poverty, reproaches and contumelles. The same moment that saw Ceaser cheife Man in the senate, beheld him in a worss condition then the meanest slave in Rome; and in less then 6 howers Phoebus ey'd the Marqus of Ancrey, in the midst of his Rustling traine of servitures, not onely streameing out his blood, but spurn'd and drag'd up and down the dirtie streets of Paris, by the worst of mecanicks. It is but the tother day that I did see N. B. (Nathaniel Bacon) in the condition of a Tratour, to betrayed for his life; who but a few days before was judged the most accomplish'd Gen:man in Virginia to serve his King and countrey, at the councell Table, or to put a stop to the insolencies of the Heathen, and the next day rais'd to his dignities againe; Thus doth fortune sport her self with poore mortells, som times mount them up in to the aire (as Byes do Tennis balls) that they may com with the grater violence downe, and then a gane strike them a gainst the earth that they may with ye grater speed mount up in to the Aire &c. &c. From Towne, June 9, '76 PRINTED BY PETER FORCE-1835:

Boddie--17th Century Isle of Wight--p 215 (John Cotten who died in Bertie in1728) owned land in Isle of Wight in 1704, then moved to Nansemond, then North Carolina. He [I think maybe his father] may have been a brother. . .of
Thomas Cotten who made a will in Surry, Feb 26, 1718 (p 168) and leaves "wife Mary my plantation and land, and after her death to my cousin Thomas Cotten, son of Walter Cotten and Elizabeth his wife; to Mary Smith, daughter of John Smith and Elizabeth his wife, one feather bed; to my cousin Thomas
Cotten a feather bed; to Richard Hide my best bed; to cousin William Cotten 1shilling; to kinswoman Anne Malone 1 shilling. Teste, John Barker, Sr., John Johnson, Grace Bailey." Thomas Cotten and Walter Cotten each held 257 acres in Surry in 1704.

YORK COUNTY RECORDS--Gen of Va Families Vol 1 Tyler's Q--John Heyward, aged thirty-five years or thereabouts, sayeth That yr Depont, in November last was two years, at the house of James Pardoe, and there did meet with Mr John Cotton who did come to demand tobacco and yr said Depont & Mr Cotton did fall to drinking very hard by ye request of the sd James Pardoe & did continue drinking all day till at night wee went to cards, and at cards yr Depont & Mr Cotton had some words & soe broke off from play and did goe each of them to there rest, but yr depont was ordered for to sleep along with the said Pardoe & his wife in the same roome where all the Drink was, soe yt yr Depont & ye said Pardoe did fall to drinking again, and after some discourse the said Pardee did tell yr Depont yt Mr Cotton was come for to demand Tobo of him upon the accts of Thos. Bevins but the said Pardoe did desire yr depont for to look over Tho. Bevins' papers & to see if his bill was not there among ye papers & the said Pardoe did depart for some time out of the roome & did bring some papers in his hand for your Deponent to looke over. Yr Depont in looking over ye papers did find ye said Bevins' his bill uncanselled and did give it to the said Pardoe and yr depont will swear & further saith not. John Heyward.

Sworn before me the 21 June, 1681--Wm Booth 28th of July 1681 And is recorded--Pr. E. Jennings, Cl. Cur. Ebor. (Clerk of York County).
