This John Cotton was not Sir John Hynde Cotton, Knight and 3rd Barronet of Connington

There’s a made up genealogy in circulation

The FamilySearch Medieval Families database show John Cotton, b. 1621, son of Robert Cotton and Elizabeth Brocas to have two wives, Margaret Howard and Elizabeth Constable. It shows a son John Cotton by Margaret Howard b. 1621 in England and d. 1702 in England.

This pretty much blows the alleged connection of their Ancestral File for Sir John Cotton b. 1625 in England and d. 1691 North Carolina as the son of Robert Bruce Cotten.
