Wilcome ‘Will’ CottonBrother to Farmer Cotton
The second son of Holman Cotton of Bywater, and thus the younger brother of Farmer Tolman and uncle to Rose, the bride of Sam Gamgee. Little is known of his life, other than the fact that he was born in the year III 2946, five years after his elder brother (and, coincidentally, after Bilbo's great adventure). The Cotton family were indigenous to Bywater, and so it seems likely that Wilcome also lived in that village. It's unclear whether he left any descendants (none are recorded) but Wilcome's name at least lived on; his brother Tolman chose to name his second son 'Wilcome' after his own younger brother. Notes
