I am researching COGSWELLs who came to Western New York State (Genesee
County) in the early 1800s.
I am currently working on Thomas COGSWELL of Attica, NY, and his
descendants. Thomas Cogswell was born in Canterbury, NH in 1792 and
arrived in Genesee County, NY in the early 1800s, living first in Alexander
and then moving to Attica in 1817. His father-in-law, Parmento Adams
arrived in Genesee County in 1804. He built the 'old stone house' and farm
on Maplewood Drive in Attica.
From Genesee County (NY) Pioneers Association
Thomas Cogswell of Attica was born at Canterbury, Rockingham Co., NH,
February 15, 1792; came to Attica March 1817; and died in that village
September 15th, 1874.
From Jameson's "Cogswell in America" (1884)

Canterbury, NH, and died September 1874. He married SARAH ADAMS February
28, 1819 in Genesee County, NY, daughter of PARMENTO ADAMS and ELEANOR ???.
She was born September 02, 1802 in Skaneateles, Onondaga Co., NY, and died
