Abstract
Sydney John Cotton, military officer (1792-1874), Hugh Calveley Cotton, military engineer and surveyor (1798-1881) and Arthur Thomas Cotton, military hydraulic engineer and inventor (1803-1899) were three brothers from a large illustrious English family who spent variable periods of time in Van Diemen's Land during its early turbulent years. This paper will examine in turn the story of the brothers and their contribution to the growth and development of the island colony.
