Sir John Cotton, 3rd Baronet (1621 – 12 September 1702) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons of England at various times between 1661 and 1687.[1]
Cotton died at the age of 80 at Stratton, Bedfordshire, and was buried at Conington where he has a monument.[4]
Familyedit
Cotton married firstly on 8 June 1644[5] Dorothy Anderson, daughter of Edmund Anderson, of Stratton and Eyworth and his wife Alice Constable, daughter of Sir John Constable, who was later Cotton's stepmother. He married secondly on 20 October 1658, at Mark's Hall, Essex, Elizabeth Honywood, daughter of Sir Thomas Honywood, of Mark's Hall, and his wife Hester Lamotte, daughter of John Lamotte, of London.[4] Elizabeth's portrait was painted by Jacob Huysmans.
His eldest son John predeceased him, and the title passed to his grandson Sir John Cotton, 4th Baronet, of Connington. On the younger Sir John's death without issue, the title passed to his uncle Robert, his grandfather's son by Elizabeth Honywood.
