He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father on 13 May 1662. In 1685 he was elected MP for Huntingdonshire.〔(George Edward Cokayne ''Complete Baronetage'' 1900 )〕 Cotton died at the age 80 at Stratton, Bedfordshire, and was buried at Conington where he has a monument.〔 Cotton married firstly Dorothy Anderson, daughter of Edmund Anderson, of Stratton and Eyworth and his wife Alice Constable, daughter of Sir John Constable, who was later Cotton's stepmother. He married secondly on 20 October 1658, at Mark's Hall, Essex, Elizabeth Honywood, daughter of Sir Thomas Honywood, of Mark's Hall, and his wife Hester Lamotte, daughter of John Lamotte, of London.〔 Elizabeth's portrait was painted by Jacob Huysmans.
