Joseph Seamon Cotter, Sr.
Joseph Seamon Cotter Sr. (February 2, 1861 – March 14, 1949) was a poet, writer, playwright, and community leader raised in Louisville, Kentucky (but born in Nelson County, Kentucky).〔Ward, William S. A Literary History of Kentucky. Knoxville, Tennessee: The University of Tennessee Press. 1988, pp. 99–100.〕 Cotter was one of the earliest African-American playwrights to be published. He was known as "Kentucky's first Negro poet with real creative ability."〔 Born at the start of the American Civil War, raised in poverty with no formal education until the age of 22, and living through a time of monumental change, Cotter also became an educator and an advocate of black education.〔Sherman, Joan R. Invisible Poets: Afro-Americans of the Nineteenth Century, University of Illinois Press, 1989, pp. 164–71.〕
==Personal life==
Cotter grew up in a family of mixed racial heritage. His father, Michael J. Cotter, was a white man of Scots-Irish ancestry, and his mother, Martha Vaughn, was a freeborn black of mixed heritage (one of several children born to an African slave mother and an English-Cherokee father).〔
On July 22, 1891, Cotter married Maria F. Cox, a fellow teacher, with whom he had four children: Leonidas, Florence, Olivia, and Joseph Seamon Cotter Jr (a distinguished poet-playwright in his own merit).〔Metzger, Linda. Senior ed. Black Writers. Detroit, Michigan: Gale Research Inc. Booktower. 1989.〕
