Biography
Solomon Cotton was a shipwright. Following his first marriage, he lived in Kittery, then in Portsmouth until after his second marriage. He then kept an "ordinary" at Greenland until 1727, in which year he moved to Stratham, and became an innholder there until nearly the close of his life.
Solomon married first, 14 May 1702, Margaret, daughter of William and Elizabeth (Langdon) Fernald of Kittery. Margaret was born 27 Mar 1681, and died 12 Jan 1719-20 (or 1718-19).
Solomon married second, 3 Dec 1721, Judith, daughter of John and Sarah (Martyn) Cutt of Portsmouth, and widow of Joseph Purmort, son of Philemon. Judith was born in Portsmouth 10 Jul 1683, and died in Stratham 5 Mar 1744.
Solomon returned a few years later to Portsmouth, where he died in 1755. His will was dated 25 Mar 1754, and proved 27 Mar 1755.
