History
The families of Risley and Cotton were united around 1796 by the marriage of the Rev. John Risley and Sarah Anne Cotton. Sarah Anne had an uncle, Holford, who died without issue in 1822. He was the last in the direct line of the Cotton family and left his estate in trust for the children and grandchildren of his niece and the Rev. John Risley.
The connection with the Barbers was formed by the marriage in 1828 of the Rev. William Cotton Risley (son of the Rev. John Risley) and Susannah Wells. She was a daughter of Susan Barber, who married Robert Wells, and a niece of John Barber III, who died (apparently childless) in 1854.
