Giles S. Cotton, born 1801 [gravestone in Prattsville Cemetery], died January 29, 1878, was my 3rd great grandfather. He married Dolly [Dorothy] Decker [?], born 1803, died May 25, 1877. Among their children was Martha who married Elijah M. Rose. One of their children, Cora, born March 2, 1867 married my Great Grandfather Homer Holcomb.
