Benjamin Cotten, supposedly born 1786 , Edgefield, South Carolina This information comes from the family history book, “Cotten Picking” that my cousin, Peggy Gregory compiled. To my knowledge no one has been able to find Benjamin’s parents. Peggy had tried for years searching for them and could only make a guess from stories. She thought the fathers name was Gabriel and the mother, Martha Campbell. I’ve seen entries on family trees as Seth Cotten, but at the time of Benjamin’s birth, Seth would have been 12. Some cousins have done DNA and have found a link to a John Cotten of Bertie County in Virginia in the 1600’s. I’ve not yet been able to connect or find the missing link. I’ve used Ancestry.com and now I’m looking to wikitree to perhaps broaden my search.
