Hi -
I just adopted this list. I would guess that if we are in the US, we all
are descended from the same Coggeshall immigrant. I'm descended from the
interesting one (John) who divorced his wife (Elizabeth Baulstone) and said
the marriage had never been consummated and had it declared the children
were not his. See NEHGR (New England Historic Genealogical Society, The
Register) 149:361-373 Oct 1995.
Since he went on to marry twice more and to have a slew of children, I am
going to say that MY ancestor (who was the first child of that marriage)
was his, in spite of what the courts said. There may be a question about
whether the last one was his, though. The NEHGR article is interesting.
I have my information in
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=olsoneme.
Now - a question. How do you pronounce this name? My father worked with
astronomer Wilbur Coggeshall at Indiana University, and they pronounced it
Cogs'-all.
At genealogical meetings where this family is discussed, I've heard it
called Cog'-uh-shawl.
I also adopted the Genconnect boards. If you have wills or probates or
biographies you'd like to put there, please do. I'll try to do my part, too.
