IZAAK WALTON AND HIS FRIENDS 63 



Catherine, Jane and Mary — survived him. Beres- 

 ford Cotton became a captain in the army, and 

 served in Ireland. He is believed to have died 

 at Nottingham, a bachelor. He published in 1689 

 a translation from the French of the Memoirs of the 

 Sieur de Pontis, on which his father was engaged 

 at the time of his death. 



The pedigree of Cotton will be found set out 

 in the edition of The Complete A^igler, by Sir 

 Harris Nicolas, tracing his daughters' descendants 

 down to the year 1836 ; and it is carried one step 

 further by Mr E. B. Marston in his edition of 

 the book published in 1888.
