    Notes 
    • The unanswered question is whether Walter Cotton was the younger brother of Thomas Cotton, both then being sons of John and Anne Cotton. Thomas, in his will, refers to Walter's son Thomas as his cousin, instead of bis nephew. Is this an error, or was Walter the son of a brother of John Cotton, who also emigrated to the Virginia Colony? In the absence of any further data, our best guess is that Walter was indeed the brother of Thomas, else there is no likelihood that they would live together so closely arid harmoniously. Thomas behaves to wards him as if he were a younger brother. Perhaps they were a little loose in naming their relationships. Mary referred in her will to the younger Thomas as her son, rather than her son-in-law.
