Rose Cotton was born in the year 1384
by Shire Reckoning, the second child and first daughter of Tolman
Cotton and Lily Brown. The Cotton family lived in a farm on the South
Lane, which was fairly close to Bywater. Not much of her youth is
known, except that she and her brothers frequently swam in the
Bywater Pool with the children of the Gamgee family, to which the
Cottons were close.
