Newport Daily News, 8 Aug 1950. Freeborn Coggeshall, 71, who retired 40 years ago as a patrolman after 40 years on the police force looks to the modern-day traffice stand as his greatest achievement. In 1912 he invented a stand that he believes was the first in the country. In 1915 members of the summer colony presented him with an umbrella to go over the stand.

Pete,
Again, many thanks. No, I do not need the children of Benoni Coggeshall Weaver. Some contributors to this line have that Benoni died in Somme, France! I guess one person makes an error and other people copy it without verifying sources.

Pete, Yes, senior moment. I meant Josiah Coggeshall who apparently was his grandfather. I am a beginning researcher of the Weaver/Coggeshall line. Family trees on Ancestry.com are all over the map re: this line. So much conflicting information! So with your kind reply I am beginning to see the light. Just need to know the maiden name of Hannah, widow of Benoni, and who then married Josiah Coggeshall.
Thanks so much, Diane

I am happy to sell you this book. But before you send any money, you need to know that it covers many more families than the Coggeshalls or the Throckmortons (2 families covered by the book). Send me an e-mail at this address:
pcoggeshall(a)earthlink.net
so that I can send you more info on this book.

This is Pete Coggeshall, Sandy's husband.
You need to see my posting on Benoni (Coggeshall) Weaver who changed his name from Coggeshall "in order to inherit the estate of Benoni Weaver, the former husband of his mother, Hannah (Weaver) Coggeshall." This information comes from the 1930 book "The Coggeshalls in America" (TCIA) on Page 177-8.
Stephen Perry Weaver is the 5 child of Benoni (Coggeshall) Weaver and Mary Peckham. Stephen was b in Middletown, RI on 9-10-1822; married Newport, RI (no date given) to Elizabeth Gibbs who was born in Portsmouth, RI on 12-5-1823; she died Middletown on 12-28-1898.
They had 5 daughters (all listed in TCIA).
I suspect that there may be a mis-spelling in your information. The Coggeshall line from President John down to Stephen is as follows:
- President John Coggeshall = great x 5 grandfather
- Joshua Coggeshall = great x 4 grandfather
- Joshua Coggeshall = great-great-great grandfather
- Capt. Thomas Coggeshall = great-great grandfather
- Ensign Thomas Coggeshall = great grandfather
- Josiah Coggeshall = grandfather
- Benoni (Coggeshall) Weaver = father
- Stephen Perry (Coggeshall) Weaver = son
I suspect that the Joshua Coggeshall you are asking about may be his grandfather Josiah. This may also be his half-uncle Josiah Coggeshall who was born in Middletown 5-7-1782.
There is only one Alton Coggeshall listed in the index of TCIA, Alton Francis Coggeshall was born 1-3-1878 the third child of George Coggeshall and Alzada Francis Weaver. The line from President John matches the one shown above only as far down as Capt Thomas. They would have been distant cousins both living in the Middletown, RI area.
There is a great deal of information in TCIA on this family, too much for me to appempt to post here.

This is Pete Coggeshall, Sandy's husband.
Almost all of the questions in this and the previous post on this thread are answered in the 1930 book "The Coggeshalls in America" (TCIA).
On page 109 is a detailed listing for Josiah Coggeshall of Middletown, RI who was born there on 8-13-1752 and died there in 18??. Josiah was married 3 times as follows:
1)To Mary Horswell, spinster at Newport, RI on 10-10-1776. She died in Middletown (no dates given).
2)To Mrs Hannah Weaver at Middletown on 11-22-1786, widow of Benoni Weaver. She died Middletown (no dates or original maiden name given).
3)To Mrs Patience (Tripp) Peckham, widow, at Newport on 4-27-1817.
Josiah had 6 children all born in Middletown, RI by his first wife as follows:
- Simon Horswell Coggeshall b 7-16-1777 (more about him on pg 170).
- Freeborn Coggeshall b 1780 (more about him on pg 171).
- Josiah Coggeshall b 5-7-1782 (more about him on pg 172).
- Ruth Coggeshall who married Abraham Brown and had 1 child, Abram A Brown.
- Deborah Coggeshall who married Abraham Peckham and had 2 children "of whom we know nothing."
- Pearce Horswell Coggeshall b 3-15-1785 (more about him on pg 173-6).
Josiah had 4 children all born in Middletown by his second wife as follows:
- Benoni Coggeshall b 10-23-1787 (more about him on pg 177, some of which appears below).
- Mary or Abigail Coggeshall who married Westin Leonard. "They went out West where she soon afterwards died."
- Hannah Cornell Coggeshall b 8-3-1792, d Bristol RI 7-18-1882, m Middletown, Benjamin Peckham. Child Eliza Maria Peckham (more avail on Eliza).
- Elizabeth Coggeshall married Walter Leonard. "They went to Ohio to live."
The third wife bore no children to Josiah.
>From Page 177:
Benoni (Coggeshall) Weaver of Middletown, RI was born Middletown on 10-23-1787, died Middletown 10-22-1849; married Middletown on 12-12-1815 Mary Peckham, daughter of Levi and Sarah (Tripp) Peckham. She was born Middletwon 4-22-1787, died Middletwon June, 1876.
"Benoni Coggeshall had his name changed to Benoni Weaver, in order to inherit the estate of Benoni Weaver, the former husband of his mother, Hannah (Weaver) Coggeshall."
Benoni and Mary had 8 children (7 boys) all of whom are listed in TCIA. Because this post is getting long, I can post the information on these 8 children, if asked for that information.
PETE

This is Pete Coggeshall -- Sandy's husband.
The 1930 book "The Coggeshalls in America" (TCIA) has this listing on page 277:
Morgan Evarts Coggeshall was born in St Louis on July 31, 1882 to the Honorable Carol Herbert Coggeshall and {his wife} Clara Bell Evarts Morgan.
This is the only information on this Morgan (who is the only Morgan in this book). Added information is available in TCIA on his ancestors, particularly his Coggeshall Ancestors.
My father's book "Ancestors and Kin" has no listing for Morgan because Morgan is descended from President John's son Joshua -- and my father's book only tracks the Coggeshall line after President John through his first son, Major John Coggeshall. The advantage of "Ancestors and Kin" (over TCIA) for all Coggeshall descendants is the more detailed and accurate information it contains about the Coggeshall line from President John back into England.
Most currently living Coggeshalls can tie into a listing in TCIA and thus trace their line back to President John Coggeshall. Then "Ancestors & Kin" gets them back into England with more accuracy than is available in TCIA

I too am interested in this line and have been very confused about the surname of Benoni Weaver, son of Josiah Coggeshall and Hannah Weaver. Another post states that Josiah Coggeshall m. (1)Mary Horswell on 29 Sep 1774 and they had six children (not named in post. Then he married (2) Mrs. Hannah Weaver, widow. What was her maiden name? Who was her first husband? Benoni was the oldest of four children -- who were the others? Did they keep the surname of Coggeshall or did they also use the surname Weaver? When and where did Benoni die? Do you have his day and month of birth in 1786?

I would like to join your Coggeshall research group. I am seeking relationship between Stephen Perry Weaver, son of Benoni and Mary Weaver, and Joshua Coggeshall. Stephen's obit (Newport Mercury, week ending 15 Sep 1904) states that he "lived for a long time with Joshua Coggeshall on the West Main Road". Stephen Perry Weaver was born 10 Sep 1822 and died 13 Sep 1906 (some say he died on the 6th)in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. After the death of his father, Benoni (date unknown), he managed the family farm on Brown's Lane until his mother (Mary) died in 1876. Ownership changed hands and Stephen bought a smaller farm in Portsmouth. Estate of Stephen P. Weaver (Newport Mercury, 22 Sep 1906). "Elizabeth W. and Sarah G. Coggeshall presented petition for appointment of Alton Coggeshall as administrator. Who are these Coggeshalls and how are they related to Stephen Perry Weaver?
