Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails.

Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hello to COGGESHALL-L list members.
You just got a message to this list which said at the top:
>This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
and it had this "tagline" at the end:
>==== COGGESHALL Mailing List ====
>Need to reach Margaret, the discussion coordinator? Send her an email at
><olson(a)shout.net>.
When Colleen said she needed someone to take over this list, I
volunteered. I also found that the Message Board for Coggeshall was being
managed by RootsWeb staff, so I took it on, too. You will find that my
list management style is pretty laid back. I'm here to help with
subscription issues, and to make the list run smoothly. Content is up to
all of you, however. If you have Coggeshall information, please do share
it here.
RootsWeb has a mechanism to "gateway" messages from the message board to
the mailing list (but not the other way around), and I decided to ask that
the gateway be opened. For posts such as the obituary just posted, I think
this gateway is a good thing. There can be a downside, however. For a
mailing list, only subscribers can post. For a message board, anyone can
post, and occasionally some message boards get off-topic messages. If that
happens, I'll rethink having an open gateway. I manage a few other
list/board combinations and have had no problems with any of them so I
think this will work well.
The other downside is that you will have to work a little harder to reply
to messages which come through the gateway. A reply to the mailing list
will go to the mailing list subscribers, but won't get to the poster unless
that person is also subscribed. To reply to the poster, click on the link
to the message board which is given in the message. You can reply on the
board (and that reply will show up on the board and also come to the
mailing list), or you can click on the author's name and find the email
address for the author that way. If your reply is of interest to list
subscribers, do send a copy here.
So - let's share our Coggeshall research!

Message Board Post:
>From the New York Weekly Tribune, Feb 15, 1851
In Newport, R.I., 2nd inst., THOMAS COGGESHALL, Esq., aged 92 and 25 days. He was born in Newport, and always lived there, having been a Whig of the Revolution, in which he witnessed a meeting at his father's house of gen. Greene and the Patriot Orator of Boston, James Otis. Mr Coggeshall was deeply beloved and widely esteemed through life, and, blessed with a sound and vigorous constituition, his long sojourn on earth was passed in almost uninterrupted health, and his mind and memory were retained to the last. He had taken and paid for the Newport Mercury for the last Fifty-nine years. He was the father of James Coggeshall, Esq., of this city.
this is not a relative.
