General Notes: Husband - Col. John Cotton

He located in Vernon township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and he obtained a deed for this land in 1797. He purchased the place, consisting of about two hundred acres, from the Harpers, who were also among the early settlers. A considerable portion of this tract was cleared by Colonel Cotton, and he spent the remainder of his life there. He obtained his title of colonel in the Continental army, having done service during the Revolutionary war.
