Infant son of Henry Seth Bennett, Sr and Sallie B. Cotton Bennett. He was named after his grandfathers, Elijah Brannon Cotton and Adam Jackson Bennett.
Only lived around 18 days. The sole reason to believe that he was buried here is that the, "Old Cotton Cemetery" was already there on family land. (And It was the ONLY cemetery in that area for miles.)
And that the boy's grandfather, Elijah B. Cotton was still alive at his death. (As of July 2019, the only grave marker present in this small cemetery is that of Elijah Brannon Cotton and his wife, Elizabeth.)
