If you google "Cottons, NY" you will see a map that locates Cottons near the intersection of Bruce Rd. and C(K)lock Rd. west of Clockville. Cottons was originally in the Town of Lenox, Madison Co. until 1896 when part of Lenox became the Town of Lincoln. Cottons was once a thriving community with a school, church, post office, railroad station, and cemetery. The old Cotton's school house is still standing near the intersection of Harp Rd. and Cotton's Rd. I have a recent photo of the school and an article about it, if anyone would like that info forwarded. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Jaquay" <hjaquay@twcny.rr.com> To: <NYMADISO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 05, 2010 11:41 AM Subject: [NYMADISO] Name changes > Was the area known as COTTONS, NY - a little north of Canastota - > combined into Lenox?
