Hello fellow Cosby researchers.
I am searching for info on the following line:
Peter Garland Cosby (b. ~1802 VA) m. Frances W. Rison
issue:
Mary Jane Cosby (b. 1831) m. William R. Pugh
Oscar Garland Cosby (b. 1832 Richmond, VA, d. 1876, Richmond, VA)
m. Mary Catherine Forrer
issue: Elizabeth Frances Cosby
Oscar Garland Cosby, Jr.
Isabella Cohoke Cosby
Ora Lee Cosby
Walter Nelson Cosby (b. 1866 d. 1917
m. Lorena Gertrude Folkes
issue:
Walter Nelson Cosby, Jr. among
others...he was my
grandfather
I am trying to find the mother and father of Peter Garland Cosby. He was a
Tobacconist and hotel proprieter in Richmond most of his life. Disappeared
at the end of the Civil War with his wife ??????????
I have been unable to link him to Edward N. Cosby, who gave him power of
attorney in 1832, possibly his father. I don't think this is the same Edward
Cosby that was the son of James Cosby and Sarah Nelson.....however, there is
a link there somewhere. The name Garland and Nelson are very prevalent in my
family, including in my own name. Peter G. Cosby may have been the son of
Peter Cosby that married Ann Eggleston in Louisa County but the younger
children are not mentioned in his will. Any ideas or links out there? I
have much, much more info on this line also.
Regards,
N. Wayne Cosby
