"In 1795, Thomas Cotton founded Cottontown. He had been a captain of Hertford County, North Carolina Militia during the revolution. In 1819 Moore Cotton, son of Thomas, built Bridal House for his only daughter Elizabeth. The House is architecturally significant and recognized primarily for its construction with unusually large logs, measuring about three feet in width."--Tennessee Historical Commission
