Hotchkiss family of Dodington, Whitchurch Parish, Shropshire, Eng 1500s and the Cottons

[Steven Perkins]

John Insly Coddington wrote an article in the Connecticut Nutmegger where he stated that the Hotchkiss family of New Haven Colony was descended from John Hotchkiss and Margaret Nevett of Dodington, Whitchurch Parish, Shropshire, England. He also said that the family was related to the Barons Cotton. I have tried to find the connection by looking at the references in the article, but I have been unable to do so. Has anyone investigated this connection of either the Hotchkiss or Nevett families to the Barons Cotton? Does anyone know if the Coddington papers at NEHGS are available for research?

Thanks,

Steven C. Perkins

His daughter Margaret Nevett married John Hotchkiss of Whitechurch. For

Hello:

Thanks for your message. My current contact email is
SPer...@interaccess.com and my web pages are at
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sperkins/

Since the time when I wrote the quoted message, I have looked at the
Coddington mss at NEHGS and developed the descent line on the Perkins
pages above. I'd like to discuss this line with you directly.

According to some research, the Constantine connection leads to the Lucy
family and Henry II.

Regards,

Steven C. Perkins

I recall, from some searching some time ago, a connection between the
Davenports (Read the Rev. John Davenport of Chesire) and the Cottons. Try a
Google search for same. There was also an Eyton (Eyton on the Weald Moors,
Shropshire) marriage: one Fortuna Cotton married Willaim Eyton in 1552. This
was recorded in the church windows (via armorial bearings) in Eyton Church,
a chapel at Eyton on the Weald Moors. Sorry that I can't be more helpful. E>

see Nellie Cowdell. The Hotchkiss Family. First Six Generations.
Descendehants of Samuel Hotchkiss (c1622-1663) of New haven,
Connecticut. Volume 1. Baltimore: Gate press, 1985

there cowdell states that john hotchkiss was proabably the son of
allan and allan married mary cotton and had children john, richard and
george.

I have Nellie Cowdell's book. The link between Allan and John has not
been proven with any documentary evidence. I believe the link was
proposed in the early 1900s. Coddington was not aware of it when he
started his research. But once he learned of it and started to research
it, he could not find any evidence to support it.

If you go to my web pages and select the link for Henry Franklin Perkins,
you will find the alternate link I am working on. You can find the link
through Allan Hotchkiss by following the link on my page for Jabez
Perkins.
