Message Board Post:
Elizabeth [Wise] Cogswell (1744-1838) was the sister of my ancestor Mary [Wise] Farley (1741-1792). The identity of their parents has been a "brick wall" for all of us, from E. O. Jameson's Cogswells in America, (Boston: Alfred Mudge and Sons, 1884), p. 76, to the present time, and I strongly suspect that Mr. Jameson simply repeated the mistake of the Denison genealogy published in 1881 by authors Baldwin and Clift. With the help of Essex County (Mass.) probate and searchable Mass. Vital Records, I have found the parents of the two girls, and all their lines can be traced back to the immigrants.
If you are interested in adding the corrected information to your trees, it can be found at my blog http://rootscrazy.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/13/
Just use Ctrl F and "Cogswell" or "Farley" or "Wise."
