I am curious as to whether COTTON/COTTIN could be any relation to
KEETON/KEATON?

Subject: Re: [HWE] COTTIN ancestor

In reply to Shirley, I don't have a gunpowder manufacturer exactly among
my
Huguenot ancestors in Ireland, but something close to it, I think. Have

recently discovered (from Charles Dalton's book English Army Lists &
Commission registers 1661-1714 (pub. 1892-1904) which I consulted in the

British Library, London on a recent visit) that a Daniel COTTIN was
made
Major of the Ordnance in Ireland in 1697. Wikipedia told me that means
he
was in charge of ammunition.

It so happens that some of the earliest COTTONS in Ireland lived from
the
1700's on the Lissan estate of the Staples family who are renowned for
mining ore there in the 1600's. I am inclined to think that Daniel may
be
their ancestor and therefore mine. His family name is quite
well-documented in England and France as Huguenots. Daniel served in
Flanders in the 1690's as an officer in the Artillery Train. Does
anyone
on the list have an interest in the COTTIN/ON family, especially in
Ireland
or Devon, England? NZ Cottons have been told by a member of the
Staples
family that their ancestor came to Ireland from Devon.
