Tolman Cotton Jr.

Tolman Cotton Jr. or Tom Cotton Jr. was a Hobbit of the Shire.
==Biography==
Tom was born in TA 2980 (SR 1380), four years before Rosie. He was the eldest son of Farmer Cotton. He had four younger siblings; Rosie Cotton, Wilcome (Jolly) Cotton, Bowman (Nick) Cotton, and Carl (Nibs) Cotton.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix C: Family Trees, The Longfather - Tree of Master Samwise
He played a significant role in the Battle of Bywater and fought alongside his father. Afterwards, he married Marigold, who was three years his junior. She was as well, the younger sister of Samwise Gamgee, who also just so happened to marry Tom's younger sister Rosie. He served briefly as Deputy-Mayor of Michel Delving when Sam went to Gondor.The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Book Six, Chapter VIII: "The Scouring of the Shire"
Because the Cottons were so close to the Gamgees, and Sam was the same age as Tom, you could expect that they were good friends growing up, and later on in life.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands), "Later Events concerning the Members of the Fellowship of the Ring"
==Portrayal in adaptations ==
Tolman Cotton Jr. made an appearance in The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest and was the Deputy-Mayor (The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest)
