THE COTTONS OF COTTON EDMUNDS
There are currently several million people who can trace their descent in one way or another from the male and female members of the Cotton family of Cotton Edmunds (Cheshire, England) which can now be traced, depending on the person, for up to 26 generations. From the seventh generation, with the marriage of Joan Fitzherbert to John Cotton of Cotton Edmunds and Hampstall Ridware as his second wife, the descendants of this family share in a descent from many important figures in British and continental European history, including Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, and Charlemagne. This ancestry can be proven, in all cases, based on primary records as sources of evidence and not on merely the fantasies of others currently abounding on the internet. I am currently uploading two ancestral tables for Joan Fitzherbert Cotton, beginning with a table which took several hundred hours of research, a table outlining her long line of Welsh ancestors. A connected table outlining her Irish ancestry is given. The reason for starting here is because as many as half of all the descendants of the Cottons of Cotton Edmunds can trace their origin in this marriage. Other tables connected, both with her, and other individuals connected with the Cottons of Cotton Edmunds will appear as time permits.
