This may not be the same person, but my ancestor is Jerry Cogswell (b. about 1850 in PA). He lived in Manistee, MI and had two sons die in 1897 and 1899. At least one of the sons died in an accident. Jerry died prior to 1901. He was married to Margaret Hopkins, who died in 1901. If there is any connection please reply. Thanks.

This is such a generous offer. I would very much like to have this as documentation of my Cogswells. Please let me know what information you need/want to send it, if I'm the first one to respond. Thank you so much!

I have a copy of "Angel Gabriel: the Elusive English Galleon" by Warren C Riess. It mentions several Cogswell names as it describes the wrecking of this ship near the Pemaquid settlement (present day name Bristol, Maine) in 1635.
I will be glad to send it to the first person who requests it. Please send snail mail address to sharon.fitz(a)sbcglobal.net.

I've "rescued" an old diary belonging to Frank GOSS of Henniker, New
Hampshire. The diary is dated 1892 and includes entries of almost every day
along with accounting records in the back for recording the sale of hogs and
other farm purchases and sales. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information regarding Frank and his family:
Franklin T. GOSS was b. 20 Oct 1830 in Henniker, NH. Franklin married 1st
Ellen Marie COGSWELL (b. 28 Apr 1837 in Henniker, NH) and with Ellen had a
son, George C. GOSS b. 3 Aug 1863 in Henniker, NH. Franklin's second
marriage was to Lucy H. CAMPBELL (b. 21 May 1841 in Henniker, NH) in about
1867 and with Lucy he had another son, William C. GOSS b. 17 Aug 1868 in
Henniker, NH. Franklin died in Henniker, NH on 20 Jul 1918. Records also
indicate that Frank was married at some point to Sarah W. CONNER.
Census records provide the following information:
