COTELLE.<br />

Peter Cotelle was a Frenchman. He resided in the easterly<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the West Parish, ,in a small gambrel-ro<strong>of</strong>ed house,<br />

embowered in trees and shrubbery—an exquisite little place which<br />

he took pleasure in adorning. He was a tinker, shrewd in making<br />

a trade, and it is said that he would take advantage <strong>of</strong> his presumed<br />

imperfect knowledge <strong>of</strong> English, to drive a hard bargain.<br />

He also kept a small grocery store. He has descendants.<br />

New England. John Cannon came over in the Fortune in 1621.<br />

He was not <strong>of</strong> Plymouth in 1627. Whither he i-emoved or went<br />

hence is unknown. There was a Robert Cannon <strong>of</strong> New London,<br />

in 1678, and one <strong>of</strong> the same name in Essex County in 1680,<br />

wliose wife's name was Sarah. Mr. Savage states that there was<br />

one <strong>of</strong> the name in Sandwich as early as 1650. Capt. John<br />

Cannon was <strong>of</strong> Norwalk, Conn., 1750.<br />

The earliest record <strong>of</strong> the name in <strong>Barnstable</strong> is April 12,<br />

1691, where Joanna Cannon joined the church. On the following<br />

Sabbath her children, John, Philip, Timothy, Nathan, and Elizabeth,<br />

were baptized. Of these, Timothy is again named on the<br />

records. He married, Nov. 9, 1711, Elizabeth, widow <strong>of</strong> Isaac
