   Ancestral Roots (7th ed.) line 246A has the following info:
   "Walter Cotton, b. ca. 1376."
   Davis, Walter Goodwin, "The Ancestry of Mary Isaac," p. 251 states: "Walter Cotton, citizen and mercer of London, married Margery Fressh, daughter of John Fressh, mercer, who left them a legacy in his will of 1389. Is 1376 a little too late for Walter's birth or was this a child marriage?
