If your first name is Marilyn and you're from Tampa Bay, then we have emailed re Benj. before. If you're a different researcher, then yes, I believe that Benj. & Tryphena are siblings. I believe that all siblings exc. Wm. moved to Oneida Co. with father John who d in 1819 intestate (without will) and named Benj. as his administrator. That doc. is the only item in the Oneida Co. file re John Cogswell (no other family members named exc. Benj.). Benj. & John Jr. are found as land owners in Western, Oneida Co. by 1814. I haven't found a burial site for Benj. but Cogswell genealogies claim he d in Oneida Co. John Jr. d in 1874 in Western, Oneida Co. I have his meager obit. He also appears in 1820 Western census, maybe later ones too. John Jr.'s birthdate on tombstone is Mar 14, 1781. Is Benj. older or younger? I am unsure. Check out probable son Henry who moved to Hayworth, MacLean Co., IL & appears in 1880 census w/mother Philena in household. Keep in touch. Sharon

I am desc from a Benjamin Cogswell who was b. in NY betw 1790-1799. he married Philena Wright, daughter of Abner and Polly wright, b. 5 Oct 1800 in NY. I am trying to figure out if he is the brother of Tryphena Cogswell Martin. I think I found him in the 1830 census in Steuben,Oneida NY.
he may be the Benjamin named administrator of the estate of John Cogswell who d. 1819.I hope we can someday connect the dots. I am also interested in who this John Cogswell was who d. 1819. Is there some further info on that will?

Ms. Alden
While researching inquiries on the Cogswell Family, I came across your inquiry from Jan., 2007 and I was excited at the Listing of all the names on your message
Caroline Case-Cogswell was my Maternal Gr., Gr., Grandmother. She was Married to Charles P. Case from NY(??). I have been trying to find information on Charles's Family for quite some time but have been unsuccessful. After the 1870 Township of Otisco, Symaria, Ionia Co., Michigan census, Charles seemed to disappear and by the 1880 Litchfield, Hillsdale Co., census, she's listed as a Widow!
Caroline was the Daughter of Alanson Cogswell anshe was Born 2 Feb., 1833 in New York & Died: 27 March, 1887 in Homer, Calhoun Co., Michigan. My Great GrandMother, HARRIET AUGUSTA CASE-TURNER, was her oldest child. Caroline & Charles had Four Daughters; Harriet, Mary Florence & Francis
Caroline is Buried in Fisher Cemetery in Homer, Michigan Near her Older Sister, Lydia Ann Cogswell Church & her Family. It is believed that Alanson is also Buried there, but some older files have been lost due to poor record keeping. It's said he's buried in an Unmarked grave because of moved & missing headstones!!
If you would happen to have any info on Charles Case or his Parents & siblings, I would really appreciate any info you'd like to share!! Any info would be greatly appreciated, Thanks & thanks for your posting!!
Sincerely,
Gary 'Smokey' Naden

Mr. Bohn
I came across your reply below to a inquiry about Francis Beard-Cogswell & the info on Alanson, so I hope you don't mind my contacting you..
I have been researching my Maternal Gr.,Gr.,Gr.Grandfather
'ALANSON COGSWELL' b: 1798 in New York (??Oneida I think) and who died aft. 1880 in or around Litchfield, Hillsdale Co.,Michigan.
From what I've been able to find, I think that he is the son of WILLIAM COGSWELL & SUSANNAH BEARD. According to the COGSWELL"S IN AMERICA, Their Son Alanson "died in early life at sea"!! However, I feel he did not die and went on to marry & have children and lived into his 80's!
As a little kid, I remember my Great Grandma, Harriet Augusta Case-Turner telling me about her Grandpa who went to sea as a young man but came back, settled down and became a farmer never to return to the sea again!
My problem is trying to definately connect him completely!! I know by Census files that he came from New York, That he was Born in 1789, He fought in the War of 1812 in New York(76th NY Infantry)and that he had (at least) two Daughters. Lydia Ann Cogswell-Church b:30 June 1824 in Elba, Genesee, New York and d: 8 June, 1876 in Homer, Calhoun, Michigan AND Caroline Cogswell-Case b: 2 Feb. 1833 in New York & d:27 March, 1887 in Homer, Calhoun, Michigan.
If anyone in the Cogswell Association (ps By the way,I hope to be joining soon)has any info on ALANSON COGSWELL, I'd greatly appreciate all replys!! I've been working on him for quite some time and I feel that the Cogswells in America Listing him as died at sea is incorrect...
Thank you for your time..
Sincerely
Gary 'Smpkey' Naden

>From Cogswells in America:
William(7) Cogswell, son of John(6) Cogswell, was born Feb. 25, 1777, in Stockbridge, Mass. He married, Nov. 30, 1796, Susanna Beard, daughter of Francis Beard. She was born Aug. 1, 1778, in Watervliet, NY. They resided in Bennington, VT, Lancaster, Townbay and St. Catherine's, Canada, and Erie, NY. Mr. Cogswell died in Macon, GA.
Their Children were:
- ***Alanson, b Jan 6, 1798 (he died in early life at sea).
I BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS MY Gr.,Gr.,Gr. GRANDFATHER WHO 'DID NOT' PERISH AT SEA BUT WENT ON TO LIVE INTO HIS 80'S BEFORE DYING IN LITCHFIELD or HOMER MICHIGAN AT HIS DAUGHTER CAROLINE COGSWELL-CASE BY HIS SIDE!
- Francis B., b. Aug. 19, 1900, m. Jun 22, 1821, Sally Thorn.
- John, b. April 29, 1802; d. 1854
- Harriet, b. Auril 30, 1804
- Sally Ann, b. March 15, 1806
- Rhoda, b. Dec. 22, 1808

Dear Ms. Hirt,
I happened to come across one of your postings on the Ancestry Message Board referencing the Cogswell families in Michigan. I have been researching my Maternal side of our family for some time & I'm trying to find as much info as I can on ALANSON COGSWELL b:6 Jan., 1798, d: aft. 1880 in Homer Mich...
His Daughter, CAROLINE COGSWELL-CASE is my Maternal Gr.,Gr. Grandmother.
I do know that Caroline & Alanson lived with Alanson's other Daughter (LYDIA ANN COGSWELL-CHURCH, b:30 June, 1824 in Elba, NY, d: 8 June, 1876 in Home , Calhoun Co., Mich) in both Indiana & Michigan (ref U.S. census records) before Caroline Married Charles Case in 1858. I also have been able to find that Caroline, Lydia Ann & alot of Lydia's 'Church' family are buried in Fisher Cemetery in Homer, Mich.
(alot of info I know!) what I've been trying to find is more info on Alanson, his Wife's name,
other children and what ever other connections I can find..
I rember when I was little my Grandmother (HARRIET AUGUSTA CASE-TURNER) telling me that her Grandfather had been a Sailor in his younger years & I have found in the Cogswell's in America it says on page 420 that Alanson Cogswell "He Died in early life at Sea"!!
As you can see, my problem is proving "MY" Alanson Cogswell (Sailor & Farmer) & the Alanson Cogswell mentioned in the Cogswells in America, are one & the same!!
Same Birth date & all but trying to connect them is difficult!!
If you happen to have any info or Points of contact I can follow, I'd be verry appreciative.
Also, I have some info on the Case/Church/Turner family I'd gladly share...
Thank you for your time...
Sincerely
Gary 'Smokey' Naden

Hi Carol,
I am also researching ALANSON COGSWELL because my Maternal Gr.,Gr.Grandmother was CAROLINE COGSWELL-CASE one of the daughters of ALANSON COGSWELL..
Alanson was born in Jan. 6, 1798 in Oneida, Oneaid Co., New York and he Fought in the War of 1812. Alanson died sometime after 1880 in either Litchfield or Homer. In the 1880 Litchfield, Hillsdale Co., Mich. Census, He is still alive & living with Caroline & her daughters in Litchfield,Mich.
Caroline died in 1887 in Homer, Calhoun Co., Michigan & is buried in the same cemetery as her older Sister (Fisher Cemetery in Homer, Calhoun Co., Mich.) LYDIA ANN COGSWELL-CHURCH, who died in 1876 and was married to John Church. Per contact with a poc for Find-A-Grave, it is believed that ALANSON is also buried in Fisher Cemetery in one of the many unmarked gravesites, but as older cemetery records cannot be found (they were hand written on old brown paper bags and were lost to time), this is only a guess! I only know of his two daughters, but I'm sure there were other siblings and I've yet to find his wife's name..
If you have any info on Alanson & his family, I'd greatly appreciate any info..
