Hi! I am a descendent of Benjamin and Jane Cotten. Can anyone clarify for me how Jane Wadlington becomes the Jane Langley that marries Benjamin Cotten? I see that Jane Langley marries Benjamin Cotten, but I'm not sure I understand how Jane Wadlington becomes Jane Langley? Any insight appreciated - thank you so much!

Jenny,

Family documents and-I believe-family Bibles, state that Jane was married to a Langley, possibly Jessie, before she married Benjamin Franklin Cotten. There were no known (surviving) children from this marriage.
