Title: Henry Cotton Bishop of Salisbury d.1615
Post by: Coningesby on Wednesday 07 February 18 11:55 GMT (UK)

In his Will, Bishop Henry Cotton asks to be buried in the Cathedral church of Salisbury, in the same place as his deceased wife Patience [his first wife]

Henry Cotton, the son of Sir Richard Cotton of Warblington and Bedhampton Hant's, was, as a young man rector of Havant, Hants. I have read that he married Patience c.1571

I have searched many pedigrees but cannot find any details of Patience's nee name [?]

The Cotton memorial stone is not in Salisbury Cathedral now, having been removed during some refurbishment.

                  Has anyone seen details of Patience's family name/origins ?

You are best to direct your question to Ross GH Cotton, Guild of One-Name Studies member for the Cotton surname.
