Would anyone have the ancestry of Gov. William Cosby of New York? I
show
him as the 6th son of Alexander Cosby and Elizabeth L'Estrange. I
do
not
know the names of his siblings.
Source: "Burke's Irish Family Records" (London 1976)
Ancestry from Sir Francis (founder of the Irish line)
His son Alexander (m. Dorcas, dtr of William Sydney of Otford, Kent [Maid
of Honour to Queen Elizabeth I]; d. 19 May 1596, killed in battle)
Richard (A's second son [eldest son had only one child, who died in
infancy]; m. Elizabeth, dtr of Sir Robert Pigott, of Dysart, Queen's Co.;
d. 5 Dec 1631)
Francis (R's second son [eldest son had only one child, who died in
infancy]; b. 5 July 1612; m. Ann, dtr of Sir Thomas Loftus, Constable of
Wicklow Castle; d. 1631)
Alexander (F's eldest son; m. Elizabeth, dtr of Henry L'Estrange of
Moystown, King's Co.; d. 1694)
William (6th of 7 sons and 6 dtrs.; Brig.-Gen. of Royal Irish Regiment,
Gov. of New York and the Jersies; m. 1711, Grace, dtr of Hon George
Montague; d. 1736.
William's siblings were:
Dudley
Henry
Thomas
Loftus
Alexander [Lt. Gov of Nova Scotia; I believe the current Irish branch
descends from him]
Arnold
Anne
Elizabeth
Jane
Dorcas
Isabella
Celia
Happy ancestor hunting,
