  • Notes 
    • She first appears as Walter Cotton's wife on an late sixteenth century Elizabethan Heraldic Visitation. However Walter Cotton probably never lived at Landwade which he had bought from the estate of Brigit Grace a widow who was not his mother. He appears to have also owned the Checkendon Estate of the widow Joan Rede. Look at the Data Problems! THE BLACK DEATH WAS AT ITS HEIGHT IN 1350 - Oxford historians say 50% of Europe's population died about that year. The Mercers' Company has no record of Walter Cotton, their Master and third richest man in London, being married to a Joan Rede.

      Walter Cotton was born circa 1385 at of Landwade, Cambridgeshire, England. He married Joan Reade, daughter of John Reade and Cecilia Harlyungrugge, after 1405. Walter Cotton died on 14 May 1445 at Landwade, Cambridgeshire, England.
