In consequence of this grant they fixed their residence at Combermere which has ever since been the set of their posterity.

Excerpts from deCotes family tree, source 4.

The Cotonian Pedigree from AD 1200 to 1819.
The Pedigree and descent of the ancient and worthy familie of the Cottons of Hadnet and Alkington, in the counties of Salop, from whom the Cottons of Easton and Marlesford, countie Suffolk descended.

The Ancestors of Sir Hugh Cotton, where according to reliable authorities, seated at Hadnet long before the conquest, anciently called either, “Cotes – Coten or Coton or Cotten, which is but a change from the singular to the plural, and quite intelligible when it is considered that it probably corresponded with the multiplication of dwellings in any particular spot where the road which passed between Hadnet & Stoke, must have crossed the river. The Cotons of Coton Cheshire, being descendants of the Cotons of Coton Hadnet Salop, were consequently settlers in the Countie of Cheshire at a much later period than the Cotes or Cotens of Hadnet.

The Cotes or Cotens of Lencestershire (LAN) were undoubtedly of the same familie, while the Cottons of Cambridge were quite distinct, the latters being descendants from the Cotons settled at Coton in Kent long before the conquest. Cotton is the place in the departments of Calvades Normandy and is also the name of places in different counties in England. The Conqueror gave the Cotons of Hadnet, their area when they were Falconers to the King. The “Crest”, a Falcon with Bells, and a strap and buckle round one leg ready for slipping. The “Arms”, three leashes for Falcon’s legs with a Chevron, Silver and Blue ground. The “Mottoe” – “In Utraque Fortuna”. The free translation of which is, Prepared for either fortune.

Thomas was recorded in the Doomsday book (Black book of the Exchequer in 1167) as being possessed of (duas partes) half a Knight’s fee in the Manor of Cotes. They derive their name “Cotes” from a hamlet in STS ENG, east of the river Saw and westward from Stone. (See source 18).

Information on the descendants of Thomas, to the 25th generation were taken from “The Cotton Pedigree”, de Cotes Family Tree (source 4) that was given to C.E.T. Cotton and included in his “Whence Come Ye” phamplet that he published in 1961.

Note: The Doomsday Book was written on parchment (sheepskin) and started in 1086 at the direction of William the Conqueror. The intent was to record and study several provinces of England, south of the Tees and Westmorland fills, and the possessions of each, ploughland, habitations and of men, both in bond and free. It was divided into 7 areas; 1) Kent and the south east; 2) south western shires; 3) east midlands; 4) central midlands; 5) west midlands; 6) north midlands, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire; and 7) East Anglia.
