- catalog abstract "Enlarged photostat reproduction (negative) of pp. 1-33, 36-88, 118-122, 131-140, 143-177, of the original manuscript in the possession of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The commonplace book was evidently begun by Seaborn Cotton while an undergraduate student at Harvard, and contains songs, ballads and prose extracts. As a minister, Cotton continued the commonplace book to record church and family records. After Cotton's death, his son, John Cotton, also used the book to record church and family records. After John Cotton's death in 1710, his son-in-law, the Reverend Nathaniel Gookin continued entering geneaological data. It is possible that a few entries were written by Cotton's first wife, Dorothy Bradstreet Cotton.".
