Lois, do you have the marriage license document for William K. Cotton? I checked with the Library Archives and they don't have newspapers for 1849. They have a few from 1833-35, but very little. I talked with the librarian this morning and they are going to run a search for me. What documents, if any, do you have for Robert Cotton?

Jones Bottom of page 110, biographical sketch of Robert Cotton. Also in Chapter IX, Bob Cotton is mentioned arriving in the area of Brooks Point with Thomas O'Neal. Benjamin Brooks had come earlier to find the land he had staked, taken by someone else. It was Benjamin Canady who saved the day, by giving Brooks a bit of his land.The book was submitted by Joy Fisher ???
