PREFACE.
Rev. William Cogswell, D. D. [411], as early as 1810, began to collect
genealogical data of the Cogswell family. At his death, in 1850, these data
were placed in the hands of Rev. Daniel Lancaster, late of New York City,
with a view to publication, but susequently returned to Rev. Dr. Cogswell's
brother, Francis Cogswell, Esq. [417], late of Andover, Mass. A few years
prior to his death, IVIr. Francis Cogswell gave these papers into the hands of
the son-in-law of Rev. Dr. Cogswell, with the hope that at some future time
they might furnish the basis of a published volume of family history. But
nothing further was done until sometime in March, 1 881, when Mrs. Abby
P. Choate, of Salem, Mass., at the suggestion of her father, Hon. George
Cogswell, M. D. [418], of Bradford, Mass., who was the youngest and only
surviving brother of Rev. Dr. Cogswell, proposed that this genealogical work
be carried forward to publication. Accordingly the materials gathered by Rev.
Dr. Cogswell, which could have been easily embraced within twenty or thirty
pages, were made the basis of further research, which resulted in the accumu-
lation of a surprisingly large amount of genealogical facts. The magnitude
of this work had been greatly underestimated, the impression being that the
Cogswells in this country were few, and that nearly all the materials for the
proposed publication were contained in the papers of Rev. Dr. Cogswell.
With this impression the work was entered upon, in the midst of a busy pro-
fessional life, as a matter affording recreation, and not demanding much time
or labor. There was contemplated nothing more than a small pamphlet, which
might be prepared and published at slight expense. Bui only after years of
wide research and the expenditure of thousands of dollars has the undertak-
ing culminated in the present volume of more than seven hundred pages.
The Cogswells in America embraces names, dates, and facts gathered
from various sources through the length and breadth of a continent. There
has been exercised in the editorial work a conscientious fidelity to the docu-
mentary statistics furnished ; so that any violence done to the orthography of
proper names, any inaccuracy of dates, and any incompleteness of details must
be carried to the account of those furnishing or failing to furnish die accurate
and needed data.

In making this contribution to the genealogical literature of America, the
author is happy to acknowledge the generous co-operation of those connected
with the Cogswell famih^ and the exceeding courtesy of the thousands with
whom he has had correspondence. Town Clerks, Registrars of Probate, and
others having the custody of public records have rendered a great and willing
service, and sometimes without compensation.
Among those who have generously aided this w'ork in different ways, men-
tion can be made here of only a few, as follows : Hon. George Cogswell, M. D. ;
Edward JR. Cogswell, M.D., of Cambridge, Mass.; Charles Cogswell, M. D., of
London, England ; Col. Leander IV. Cogswell., of Henniker, N. H. ; Dr. Henry
D. Cogswell, of San Francisco, Cal. ; William T. Cogswell., Esq., of Rockville,
Conn. ; Rev. Augustus Caldwell., of Ipswich, Mass.; Edmund John Cogswell,
LL B., of Kentville, N. S. ; Col. Joseph H Cogswell, of Titusville, Pa. ; George
E. Morton., Esq.., of Halifax, N. S. ; Niram J. Cogswell., of Tuscarora, Pa. ;
Edward Cogswell, Esq.., of Sackville, N. B. ; the late Col. Milton Cogswell.,
U. S. A., of Washington, D. C. ; Hon. Andrew M. Haines., of Galena, 111. ;
Hon. Williatn J. Cogswell, of New York City ; the late David C. Whittlesey,
Esq., of Washington, Conn. ; Alfred Chipman Cogswell, D.D. S., of Halifax,
N. S. ; James Mason Cogswell, Esq., of Parma, Ohio; Mason Whittlesey Cogs-
7i>ell, Esq., of Elyria, Ohio ; William Cogswell, M. D., of Bradford, Mass. ; John
Eraficis Cogswell, Esq., of Andover, Mass. ; and Hon. John Wentworfh, LL. D.,
of Chicago, 111. These and many others who have co-operated in this under-
taking have the grateful acknowledgments of the author.
This volume is simple in its arrangement, and by a copious Index its con-
tends are made easily available.
The Preface is followed by an Introduction, in which is mention of the
Cogswells in England, and some account of their passage on the ocean to
this country in 1635. The body of the work gives a record of the Cogswells
in America in ten generations, occupying six hundred and thirty-one pages,
exclusive of twenty-nine steel engravings. There is added a Supplementa of
additional data, and of Cogswells whose lineage is unknown. Then follows an
Errata, and the volume concludes with a threefold Index.
The Index refers to the numerical position of the names, and to the page
of persons and things of incidental interest and mention. The abbreviations
used are those common to such works.
The edition is limited to five hundred copies, nearly all of which are sub-
scried for prior to publication.

INTRODUCTION.
THE COGSWELLS IN ENGLAND.
1580-1635.
It is not the object of this work to give any extended account of the
Cogswells in England, but merely as introductory to their record in America
to mention the birthplace and the more immediate ancestors of John Cogs-
well, who with his family were the first immigrants of the name to this
country. Tradition and probability identify the name Cogswell with the old
English town of Coggeshall, which is located forty-four miles from London, in
the County of Essex. Coggeshall was the ancient Canonium of the Romans,
and held by them as a military trading post for several centuries, being surren-
dered only on their departure from Britain. Roman bricks, tiles, broken urns,
and coins, relics of Roman possession, have often been found in Coggeshall.
In the time of the Saxons it was called Coed Garr's Hall. When Canute,
the Dane, ruled Britain, Godwin, one of his favorites, who lived also under
Edward the Confessor, came into possession of Coggashael, whose daughter
Edward the Confessor married, and whose son was King Harold, the last of
the Saxon kings.
In 1046 Coggeshall was given to the Church of Christ for the support of
the Benedictine monks of Canterbury. In 1139 the Abbey of Coggeshall was
founded by King Stephen and Queen Matilda, the monks being of the Cister-
cian Order. The first Abbot of Coggeshall was William. In the reign of
Edward III., A. D. 1337, Johanus Coggeskale was M. P. from Gloucester,
England For further history of Coggeshall, vid. The Annals of Cogges-
hall, by Bryan Dale^ M. Z?., and The Chronicles of Ralph De Cogges-
hall, /;/ Latin.
It is the family tradition of the Cogswells now holding the ancient Cogswell
possessions in Westbury, County of Wilts, England, that their ancestors came
from the County of Essex, and were there known as Coggeshall, with the vari-
ous spellings which appear, viz. : Cogshall, Coggeshall, Hoggeshale, CogeshoU,
Cogeshole, Coggashael, Cogshol, Coxhall, Cockshall, and Coggshale. Beside
Vlll
the family tradition tlie experts in such matters say that Cogswell and Cogges-
hall in England have the same origin.
The ancient Family Arms, which appear on the cover of this volume,
are recorded in England : Argent, a cross belween four escallops sable. Crest,
a stag lodged sable attired or. Motto :
"^cc s:pernc> xxcc ttntco."
The Coggeshalls lost their head in the reign of Henry VI., and became
a widely distributed race, the branches remaining in several counties ; and
"between Henry VI., 1422, and Charles I., 1625, there was plenty of time for
the name to change among bad spellers."
But while Coggeshall and Cogswell have the same origin in England,
they are two distinct names in America although sometimes confounded.
The Coggeshalls of this country have mostly descended from John Cogges-
hall, the First Governor of Rhode Island, while the Cogswells, with the
exception of a few recent immigrants, have sprung from John Cogswell,
who came from Westbury Leigh, County of Wilts, England, and settled, in
1635, in Ipswich, Mass.
Westbury, County of Wilts, England.
The Doomsday Book, by William the Conqueror, 1086, gives the earliest
mention of Westbury, which appears to have been held by Editha, Queen of
King Edward the Confessor, in the year 1044.
" ©bt J^htg bolbs Mcslbcric.

The Arms of Westbury were registered in
Heralds Office, London, in 1573, 16 Elizabeth.
They are said to be the same that John of
Gaunt, fourth son of Edward HI., bore, who
was born 1339 and died 1399- Westbury,
England, was granted its charter of incorpora-
tion by Henry IV. It is a parish forming the
Hundred of Westbury, County of Wilts, and com-
prising the borough of Westbury, the chapelries
of Bratton and Dilton, and the townships of
Hawkeridge, Hay ward, and Leigh, and contain-
ing about seven thousand inhabitants, upward of two thousand of whom are in
the town of Westbury. This town is twenty four miles northwest from Salis-
bury and ninety-eight miles west by south of London. The place is of great
antiquity. It occupies the site of the old Roman military and trading station,
Verlucio. All that remains to tell its Roman history are fragments of pottery,
Seal and Arms.

an old aqueduct, and coins, dug up occasionally, bearing the impress of Con-
stantine, Marcus Aurelius, and other Roman emperors. The name is of Saxon
origin, intended to designate the importance or the relative position of the
town. Here, according to tradition, was the Palace that belonged to the West
Saxon Kings. There are three principal streets, irregularly built, branching
off toward Frome, Bradford, and East Savington. The inhabitants are sup-
plied with water from springs and a small stream that falls into the Avon.
The clothing trade formerly flourished here, one house alone employing a
thousand persons. The principal manufactures were broadcloth and kersey-
mere. There were in and near the town eight manufactures, and several
others within the parish.
Bryan Edwards, the historian, and Dr. Philip Withers, a writer of some
eminence, were natives of Westbury.
The Westbury Parish Church.
The Westbury Parish Church dates to the time of William the Conqueror,
who reigned from Dec. 25, 1066, to Sept. 9, 1087. A new church edifice was
erected in 1315, during the reign of Edward II., which was still standing in
1884, as here represented. This fine Gothic structure, nearly six hundred
Wfstbury Parish Church.
1315-1884.
years old, was built in the form of a cross. The nave was seventy-nine feet
long and twenty-six feet wide. The transept was seventy-seven feet long
and sixteen feet wide. The chancel was forty-eight feet by twenty-four feet.
The height of nave was forty feet. The height of chancel was twenty-six
feet. The height of the tower was eightv-four feet from the ground. The
walls were two feet nine inches thick. Those of the tower were four feet
thick. Chained to the reading-desk was a copy of the English translation of
Erasmus's Paraphrase of the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, which was
printed as early as 1550. The ancient communion service of the Westbury
Church was pewter. This consisted of two large cups and one large salver.
These were ornamented by a figure of Christ riding on an ass, and inscribed
with this motto: ^'' What have we that zve have not received of the Lord V
"Anno Domini 1616." The clock on this church was erected in the second
year of James I., 1604, during the vicarage of Rev. William Thompson, John
Cogswell's father-in-law, who was vicar from 1603 to his death in 1623. The
tower of the church contains a fine peal of six bells. The chimes were the
work of Louis and William Cockey, in 1688. These bells bear the following
dates respectively: ^671, ^1738, ^1620, ^1619, ^1616, ^1714. The sixth weighed
five thousand pounds and was the largest bell in the County of Wilts, The fifth
and oldest had the Arms of England on one side and the Arms of Lord Ley's
family on the other. It was inscribed with this motto : " (Bjinr «j)ra," /. ^., The
Voice of God. Under the shadow of this ancient church "repose the mortal
remains of more than thirty generations of the inhabitants of Westbury, while
upwards of twenty generations have worshipped beneath its roof." There
were many Cogswells connected with this ancient church, as appears on
Church and Parish Register of Westbury. It will be seen also that the
name of Cogswell often appears in the Register of St. Mary's Chapel, Dilton,
and in the Register of the Chapel of Westbury Leigh.

It is unknown what connection, if any, the Cogswells of Westbury may
have had with a certain Richard Cogwell who died June 12, 1534, to whose
memory was erected in Faversham Church a large stone, in which was set a
brass plate, still in a good state of preservation, on which were engraved the
following quaint lines :
" Mlboso biin bctljoft inbarbli) aiib oft,

ROBERT COGSWELL.
Robert and Alicia Cogswell were the grandparents of John Cogswell,
immigrant to America in 1635. They Uved in Westbury Leigh, County of
Wilts, England.
Robert Cogswell, as appears from his will, was a manufacturer of woollen
cloths. Little is known of him. The Register of the Parish gives the date
of his burial June 7, 1581. Mrs. Alicia Cogswell survived her husband.
The date of her burial is given Aug. i, 1603. Their children were: Robert;
Richard; Stephen; Joane, m. Freestojie; Margaret, m. Fnvik-

wife, Mrs. Phillis Thompson, died in 1608. The Westbury Register records
her burial thus: '^Phillis, uxor of Mr. lVilliat?i Thompson ., Vicar., Sepiilt. 19
July, 1608." Of this marriage were Elizabeth, who married John Cogswell,
Maria, who was baptized in 1604, and other children, as mention is made in
his will of five daughters. After the death of Mrs. Cogswell's mother, her
father married ^Elizabeth , who survived him. Of the second marriage
were two sons: William, who was baptized April 23, 1615, and Samuel, whose
baptism is thus recorded in the Westbury Register: " 1616, Samuell, Jilius
Willmi. Thompsonn., Vicar ie de Westburie., baptizat Novemb. 30."
Samuel lliojnpson^ Mrs. Cogswell's youngest brother, became the Rev.
Samuel Thompson, D. D., of London. His son, William Thompson, lived
with his uncle, John Cogswell, for many years in Ipswich, Mass. Vid. p. 12.
In the Public Record Ofifice, London, appears the following conveyance :
II Charles First, Trinity Term., 1635.
Anthony Selfe and Henry Allyn, Plaintiff, and John Cogswell and
Elizabeth., his wife. Defendants, whereby Anthony and Henry give to John
and Elizabeth £\o sterling for one messuage, two Cottages, one barn, two
gardens, two orchards, 4^ acres of land, one of meadow and four of Pasture,
with the appurtenances in Westbury and Westbury Leigh, Co. Wilts.
This was undoubtedly the sale of John Cogswell's homestead just on the
eve of his departure for New England.

THE COGSWELLS ON THE OCEAN.
May 23 TO August 15, 1635.
The Angel Gabriel was the ship on board of which John Cogswell and
FAMILY crossed the Atlantic. This vessel, it appears from the Letters of John
Aubreys the celebrated antiquary of Wiltshire, was built by Sir Charles Snell
for Sir Walter Raleigh, " for the designe for Guiana, which cost him the
manor of Yatton Regnell, the farm of Easton Piers, Thornhill, and the
Church-lease of Bp. Cannings, which ship upon Sir Walter Raleigh's attainder
was forfeited." Vid. Aubrey's Letters, Vol. 2, p. 514, Mss. Bodleian
Library, Oxford, Eng.
Sir Walter Raleigh, who was executed Oct. 29, 1618, doubtless made
his second and last voyage, A. D. 1617-18, to Guiana, S. A., in the same ship
in which the Cogswells came to America in 1635, ^""^^ which became a wreck
off l^emaquid, as Mather says : " was burst in pieces and cast away J'''
John Cogswell, with his wife Elizabeth and eight children, embarked
May 23, 1635, 3.t Bristol, England, on the Angel Gabriel, for New England.
Mr. Cogswell had with him his three sons, William, John, and Edward, and
five of his six daughters. One daughter was left in England, who afterward
married and resided in London. Mr. Cogswell took with him several farm
and household servants, an amount of valuable furniture, farming implements,
housekeeping utensils, and a considerable sum of money. They were
detained many days after going on board the Angel Gabriel for lack of
wind, so that not until June 4 did they actually set sail from Bristol. On the
same day another vessel, The James, sailed, having on board emigrants for
America, among whom was Rev. Richard Mather, fleeing religious intoler-
ance in England to find the home of religious freedom in the New World. He
became the minister of Dorchester in the Colony of Massachusetts. Rev.
Richard Mather was the father of Rev. Increase Mather, D. D., President of
XVll
Harvard College, and the grandfather of Rev. Dr. Cotton Mather, niinistef
of Boston, and the distinguished author of the Magnalia Christi Americana.
Richard Mather's tombstone was thus inscribed :
Mljo I^ab a son greater t^an l^is falljer,
ginb eke a granbson greater tl^an either."
The Angel Gabriel was commanded by Capt. Andrews^ who had on board
with him two nephews, John and Thomas Burnham, sons of Robert and Mary
(Andrews) Burnham, and ancestors of the Burnhams in America. There were
on board also Samuel Haines, ancestor of Hon. Andrew Mack Haines, of
Galena, III., William Furber, and others seeking homes in New England.
Both ships touched at Milford Haven, Pembroke Co., South Wales, and June
2 2, they put to sea again and proceeded on their way, and many on board
saw the English coast fade from view, never to be seen by them again with
mortal eyes. The vessels kept company for about two weeks, when they
became separated, but arrived about the same time on the coast of New
England. The James lay at anchor off the Isles of Shoals, and the Angel
Gabriel off Pemaquid, Me., where the great storm and gale of Aug. 15 of that
year struck them. The James was torn from her anchors, and obliged to put
to sea, but after two days of terrible battling with storm and wave, she reached
Boston Harbor with " her sails rent in sunder, and split in pieces, as if they
had been rotten ragges." The passengers of the James landed in Boston,
Aug. 17, having been twelve weeks and two days on the passage. The Angel
Gabriel fared still worse. "The storm was frightful at Pemaquid, the wind
blowing from the northeast, the tide rising to a very unusual height, in some
places more than twenty feet right up and down ; this was succeeded by
another and unaccountable tidal wave still higher." The Angel Gabriel
became a total wreck, passengers, cattle, and goods were all cast upon the
angry waves. Among those who reached the shore with their lives were Mr.
Cogswell and his family. Three or four passengers and one seaman perished,
and there was the loss of cattle and much property. Thus ended the passage
of The Cogswells on the Ocean, and thus became a fact : The Cogswells
IN America.
Journal of Rev. Richard Mather.
Rev. Richard Mather, already mentioned as a passenger on the James,
kept a journal in which are found frequent references to the ship Angel
Gabriel, and to the events of the voyage, so interesting and quaint that the
author cannot forbear to quote somewhat at length from this old and curious
record. Rev. Richard Mather in his reflections, says :
XVlll
^'- '' And let everythi7ig that hath breath praise the name of the 'Lo^n fof ever
and ever J Who gave unto us his poore servants such a safe and comfortable
voyage to New England "
" The particular passages whereof were as followeth : The ship James
was commanded by Captayne Taylor. They fell in with the ship Angel
Gabriel, also bound for New England, before leaving Bristol Harbor, Eng-
land." May 27, 1635, while at anchor, Capt. Taylor, of the James, accompa-
nied by Mr. Maud, Nathaniel Wales, Barnabas Fower, Thomas Armitage, and
Richard Mather, went on board the Angel Gabriel. Mr. Mather says : " When
we came there wee found divers passengers, and among them some loving &
godly Christians that were glad to see us there."
The next day, May 28, 1635, being still detained, "the master of the
Angel Gabriel & some of their passengers came aboard our ship, and desired
to have our company, etc. J^ime 4. Thursday morning, the wind serving us,
wee set sayle and began our sea voyage with glad hearts, y' God had loosed
us from our long stay wherein we had been holden, and with hope & trust
that Hee would graciously guide us to the end of our journey. We were y' set
sayle together y' morning five shippes, three bound for Newfoundland, viz. :
the Diligence, a ship of 150 tunne, the Mary, a small ship of 80 tunne, and
the Bess (or Elizabeth), and two bound for New England, viz. : The Angel
Gabriel, of 240 tunne, the James, of 220 tunne."
" And even at our setting out we y* were in the James had experience of
God's gracious providence over us, in y* the Angel Gabriel haling home one
of her ancres, had like, being carried by the force of the tide, to have fallen
foule upon y^ forep't of our ship, w'ch made all the mariners as well as pas-
sengers greatly afraid, yet by the guidance of God and his care over us, she
passed by without touching so much as a cable or a cord, and so we escaped
y' danger."
They were detained at Lundy by adverse sea and winds from June 5 to
June 9. On the 9th of June the five ships made for Milford Haven, Pembroke
Co , Wales, where they anchored, with rough sea and seasick passengers.
June 14. Sabbath. Still lying at Milford Haven. "Mr. Maud, Mathew
Michel of the James, and many of the passengers of the Angel Gabriel
went to church on shoare called Nangle, where they heard two comfortable
sermons, made by an ancient, grave minister, living at Pembroke, whose name
is Mr. Jessop. His text was Ps. xci 11 : ^ For He shall give His angels charge
over thee to keep thee in all thy ways.'' .And his coming was purposed for the
comfort and encouragement of us y' went to New England." " I was exercised
on shipboard both endes of the day, remayning there for helpe of y" weaker
& infirm sort that could not go on shoare."
On the afternoon of Thursday, June 18, "there came to the Angel Gabriel
and to our ship, Mr. Jessop, to see the Christians bound for New England.
He was a grave and godly old man, one y' had lost a good living because of
his nonconformity, and wished us all well, and we were much refreshed with
his godly company & conference."
XIX
Still at Milford Haven Mr. Mather speaks of being " exercised both ends
of the day," "besides," he says, "the day was more comfortable to us all in
regard to y*^ company of many godly Christians from y*^ Angel Gabriel, and
from other vessels lying in the haven with us, who, wanting means and home,
were glad to come to us, and we were also glad of their company, and had all
of us a very comfortable day, and were much refreshed in the Lord."
By lack of wind having been delayed at Milford Haven for 12 days,
they sailed on June 22, Monday. On the evening of the Tuesday, June 23,
they "lost sight of the 3 ships bound for Newfoundland, but the master of
the James thought it best to stay for the Angel Gabriel, being bound for
New England as wee were, rather than to leave her & go with the other
three.
The Angel Gabriel is a strong ship & well furnished with fourteene or
sixteene pieces of ordnance, and therefore our seamen rather desired her
company ; but yet she is slow in sailing, and therefore wee went sometimes
with three sayles less than wee might have done, y' so we might not overgoe
her."
On Wednesday, June 24, "We saw abundance of porpuyses leaping &
playing about our ship." "And wee spent some time that day in pursuing with
the Angel Gabriel what wee supposed was a Turkish pirate, but could not
overtake her."
Mr. Mather speaks of the Sabbath, June 28, 1635, and says, "I was
exercised in the forenoon, and Mr. Maude in the afternoon."
"This eve'g wee saw porpuyses about y'" ship, and some would fayne
been striking, but others dissuaded, because of the Sabbath, and so it was
let alone."
The next day by seven o'clock the sailors had a great porpoise on deck.
Mr. Mather says: "The seeing him haled into the ship like a swyne from
y^ stye to the tressle, and opened upon y'' decke in viewe of all our company,
was wonderful to us all, and marvellous merry sport and delightful to our
women & children. So good was our God unto us in affording us the day
before, spiritual refreshing to our soules, and y"" day morning also delightful
recreation to our bodyes, at y'' taking and opening of y'' huge and strange fish."
In the afternoon, June 29, " Captayne Taylor went on board y® Angel, and
took Mathew Michel & mee along with him."
They found that there had been much seasickness on the Angel Gabriel,
and two cases of "small pockes well recovered again."
, "Wee were intreated to stay supp, there with their Master, &c., and had
good cheese, mutton boyled & rosted, rested turkey, good sacke, &:c."
Saturday, July 4, 1635. "This day y* sea was very rough, and we saw
y'' truth of y' Scripture, Ps. cvii. Some were very seasicke, but none could
stand or go upon y* decke because of the tossing & tumbling of the ship."
"This day (July 4) we lost sight of the Angel sayling slowly behind us, and
we never saw her again any more."
Mr. Mather speaks of Sabbath, Aug. 2. "And y® wind blew with a coole
XX
& comfortable gale at south all day, which carried us away with great speed
towards o"" journeyes end, so good was o"' loving God unto us as always so also
this day. Mr. Maud was exercised in y" forenoone & I in the afternoone "
Aug- 3. "But lest wee should grow secure and neglect y'' Lord through
abundance of prosperity, o'" wise & loving God was pleased on Monday
morning about three of y® clock, when wee were upon the coast of land, to
exercise us with a sore storme & tempest of wind & rain, so y* many of us
passengers with wind & rain were raised out of our beds, and our seamen
were forced to let down all y® sayles, and y* ship was so tossed with fearfuU
mountayns and valleyes of water, as if wee should have beene overwhelmed
& swallowed up.
But y*" lasted not long, for at o' poore prayers, y** Lord was pleased to
magnify his mercy in assuaging y* winds & seas againe about sun rising." He
then speaks of "taking abundance of cod & hollibut, wherewith o'' bodyes
were abundantly refreshed after they had beene tossed with y* storme." .
"Aug. 14. While ancored at the He of Shoales, when wee had slept
sweetly y" night till breake of day," Mr. Mather adds : "But yet y'' Lord had
not done with us, nor yet had let us see all his power & goodnesse which he
would have us take knowledge of, and therefore on Saturday morning (Aug.
15), at about breake of day, y" Lord sent forth a most terrible storme of raine
& easterly wind, whereby wee were in as much danger as I thinke ever people
were. For we lost in y*^ morning, three great ancres & cables, of wich cables,
one having cost ^^50, never had been in any water before, two were broken by
y*^ violence of y*^ waves, and y" third was cut by y*^ seamen in extremity & dis-
tress to save y^ ship & o'' lives.
And y* Angel Gabriel being y" at ancer at Pemmaquid, was burst in
pieces & cast away in y^ storme & most of the cattell & other goodes, witli
one seaman & 3 or 4 passengers did also perish therein, besides two of y*" pas-
sengers y' died by y** way, y*" rest having y'' lives given y'" for a prey. But
y*' James & wee y' were therein, with our cattell & goods, were all preserved
alive, viz. : 100 passengers, 23 seamen, 23 cowes & heyfers, 3 sucking calves
& mares."
'^ The Lord's name be blessed forever ^
A touching incident is narrated of one of the passengers of the Angel Gabriel,
more amusing to the reader than it could have been to the parties concerned. The
name of this passenger was Bailey. He was a young man and lately married. He
embarked, leaving his young bride in England, wishing to acquaint himself somewhat
with the new country, and make arrangements for a home in America, and then
return for his wife. But alas ! the frightful disaster from which he had narrowly
escaped so wrought upon his mind that he was too timid ever again to risk himself
upon the ocean, and tlie doleful account which he wrote home so indmidated his
young bride that she could never be persuaded to undertake the voyage. And so it
came to pass, that between this loving couple the broad Atlantic continued to roll, and
this married twain, poor souls, remained separated from each other all the rest of their
mortal lives.
XXI
Rev. Dr. Increase Mather states as a historical fact that : "The Angel
Gabriel was the only vessel which miscarried with passengers from old Eng-
land to New, so signally did the Lord in his providence watch over the plan-
tation of New England."
John Cogswell and family having crossed the ocean and disembarked at
Pemaquid, in the unceremonious fashion narrated, were at last in America,
They were the first of the name to reach these shores. The elapse of two
hundred and fifty years has given to them a numerous posterity, some of whom
in each generation have lived in eventful periods, have risen to eminence, and
fulfilled distinguished service in the history of the country.

JJioflraiJljicaL
John Cogswell, the ancestor of the Cogswells in America, as already nar-
rated, was the son of Edward and Alice Cogswell, of Westbury Leigh, in the
County of Wilts, England. At the age of twenty-three years he married the
daughter of the parish vicar, succeeded to his father's business, and settled
down in the old homestead. His parents died soon after his marriage, and he
received by inheritance "The Mylls called Ripond, situate within the Parish of
Frome Selwood," together with the home place and certain personal property.
Like his father, he was a manufacturer of woollen fabrics, largely broadcloths
and kerse3'meres. The superior quality of these manufactures gave to his
" mylls " a favorable reputation, which appears to have been retained to the
present day. There are factories occupying much the same locations and still
owned by Cogswells, which continue to put upon the market woollen cloths that
in Vienna and elsewhere have commanded the first premiums in the world
exhibitions of our times.
John Cogswell doubtless found in London a market for his manufactures.
He may have had a commission house in that city, which would account for
his being called, as he sometimes has been, a London merchant.
Mrs. Cogswell's father was the Rev. William Thompson, vicar of Westbury
from 1603 to his death, in 1623. Her younger brother was the Rev. Samuel
Thompson, D. D, of London. About twenty years after their marriage, with
a family of nine children about them, and having the accumulations of a pros-
perous business, Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell determined to emigrate to America.
The particular reasons which led them to leave England may have been much
the same that influenced others in their times. It appears that early in 1635
Mr. Cogswell made sale of his "mylls" and other real estate, and soon after,
with his wife, eight children, and all their personal effects, embarked at Bristol,
May 23, 1635, for New England. Their passage was long and disastrous.
Vid. "The Cogswells on the Ocean." Their arrival in America was after a
most unexpected fashion. Having reached the shores of New England, they
were landed very unceremoniously at a place called Pemaquid, in Elaine, being
washed ashore from the broken decks of their ship "Angel Gabriel," which
went to pieces in the frightful gale of Aug. 15, 1635, when such a "sudden,
dismal storm of wind and rain came as had never been known before by white
man or Indian." Traces of this storm remained for years. It was on that
terrible 15th of August, 1635, that Parson ^z^^/j perished, with these words
upon his lips: "Lord, I cannot challenge a preservation of life; but accord-
ing to thy covenant, I challenge heaven." "Which words," says Hubbard, "as
soon as he had ever expressed, the next wave gave him a present dismission
into his eternal rest."
The easy verse of Whittier has made the story of that August storm
familiar :
"There was wailing in the shallop; woman's wail and man's despair;
A crash of breaking timbers on the rocks so sharji and l)are ;
And through it all the murmur of Father Avery's jM-ayer.
The car of God was oi)en to his servant's last request.
As the strong wave swej)! him downward the sweet hymn upward pressed,
And the soul of Father Avery went singing to its rest."
Mr. Cogswell and his family escaped with their lives, but well drenched by
the sea and despoiled of valuables to the amount of five thousand pounds
sterling. They were more fortunate than some who sailed with them, whom
the angry waves gathered to a watery grave. On leaving England Mr. Cogs '
well had taken along with him a large tent, which now came into good service.
This they pitched, and into it they gathered themselves and such stores as they
could rescue from the waves. The darkness of that first night of the Cogs-
wells in America found them housed beneath a tent on the beach. The next
day they picked up what more of their goods they could, which had come ashore
during the night or lay floating about upon the water. As soon as possible Mr.
Cogswell, leaving his family, took passage for Boston. He there made a con-
tract with a certain Capt. Gallup, who commanded a small barque, to sail for
Pemaquid and transport his family to Ipswich, Mass. This was a newly settled
town to the eastward from Boston, and was called by the Indians " Aggawam."
Two years earlier, March, 1633, Mr John VVinthrop, son of Gov. John
Winthrop, with ten others, had commenced a settlement in Aggawam. An
act of incorporation was secured Aug. 4, 1634, under the name of Ipswich.
The name Ipswich is Saxon, in honor of the Saxon queen Eba, called " Eba's
wych," /. d'., Eba's house; hence Yppyswich or Ipswich. Some derive it from
Gippewich, meaning "little city." In the early records are found the follow-
ing enactments of the General Court :
'■'■April isf, 1633. It is ordered that x\°^ ps°" wtsover shall goe to plant or
inhabitt att Aggawam, withoutt leave from the Court, except those already
gone, vz : Mr. John Winthrop, Jun'r, Mr. Gierke, Robte Coles, Thomas How-
lett, John Biggs. John Gage, Thomas Hardy, Willm Perkins, M. Thornedicke,
Will"' Srieant."
" yu?ie 11, 1633. There is leave graunted to Tho: Sellen to plant att Agga-
wam. _^ August, 16^4. It is ordered that Aggawam shal be called Ipswitch."
"At Ipsidge a plantation made upe this yeare. Mr. Ward P , Mr.
Parker T •. 'James Cudworth, 1634."
It was probably near the last of August, 1635, when Capt. Gallup sailed
up the Agawam River, having on board Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell, their three
sons and five daughters, and whatever of household goods his barque would
carry, the rest of their effects being taken by another ship. The settlers of
Ipswich at once manifested an appreciation of these new-comers. They made
John Cogswell liberal grants of land, as appears from the following municipal
records :
'■'■16^6. Granted to Mr. John Coggswell Three Hundred acres of land at
the further Chebokoe, having the River on the South east, the land of Willm
White on the North west and A Creeke romminge out of the River towards
William White's farme on the North east. Bounded also on the West with a
Creek and a little (creeke)."
"Also there was granted to him a parsell of ground containinge eight acres,
upon part whereof y*^ s'^' John Coggswell hath built an house, it being the
corner lot in Bridge street and hath Goodman Bradstreet's house-Lott on the
South East."
This was doubtless Humphrey Bradstreet, son of Gov. Simon and Ann
(Dudley) Bradstreet. Ann Dudley was daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley.
" There was granted to him five acres of ground," which is thus described :
"Mr. John Spencer's buttinge upon the River on the south, iiaving a lott of
Edmond Gardiner's on the South East, and a lott of Edmond Sayward's on
the south west; with six acres of ground, the s^' John Cogswell hath sold to
John Perkins, the younger, his heirs and assigns."
The grant of " three hundred acres of land at the further Chebokoe '" was
some five miles to the eastward, in a part of Ipswich that was constituted, May 5,
1679. Chebacco Parish; and Feb. 5, 1819, incorporated the town of Essex-
A settlement had been commenced in the Indian Chebokoe, in 1635, ^Y ^'^'
Ham White and Goodman Bradstreet. This grant to John Cogswell embraced
a swell of land, the western boundary of which is the main road which runs
from Ipswich to Gloucester. On the south flows the Chebacco River ; on the
north is a brook, which marks the boundary of a farm lately owned by Col.
John P. Choate ; and to the eastward is an arm of the sea. The grant of " a
parsell of ground containinge eight acres, upon part whereof y« s^ John Coggs-
well hath built an house," embraced land located near the present site of the
court-house. This house, which Mr. Cogswell built soon after his arrival, stood
on the site occupied by the residence of the late Hon. Charles Kimball, where
Edward L. Kimball, Esq., now, 1884, resides.
Mr. Cogswell, some time in 1636, put up a log-house and removed to
"further Chebokoe," where he spent the rest of his days. His descendants
for eight generations, through a period of two hundred and fifty years, have
continued to cultivate these ancestral acres. A few rods from where stood the
log-house of the first settler now stands an ancient dwelling-house, which is
the third in succession built on or near the same spot to domicile Cogswells in
America. This house was erected by William^ Cogswell [39] in 1732, and is
still occupied by Cogswells, the lineal descendants of John Cogswell, of West-
bury, England. For more than one hundred and fifty years " The Cogswell
House " has withstood time and change. Within its walls have dwelt six gen-
erations of the name. In it are carefully treasured many relics and articles of
household use, which were brought over in 1635, and survived the wreck of
■
the "Angel Gabriel." These have been handed down from father to son as
having belonged to their great ancestor, and are enshrined in various and
quaint traditions. This ancient dwelling-house, which is well preserved, is
represented by an engraving on the following page.
This engraving is the work of Miss Charlotte Broome Cogswell, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., who for some years has been a teacher in drawing and
engraving in that city and in New York. She is a lineal descendant of John
Cogswell in the eighth generation. Miss Cogswell visited Essex, Mass., in
1882, made a sketch of the Cogswell homestead, and on her return completed
the engraving with her own hands.
It appears that John Cogswell was the third original settler in that part of
Ipswich which is now Essex, Mass. His comparative wealth, intelligence, and
piety gave him an acknowledged prominence in the town and church. On the
records of Ipswich his name often appears. It is uniformly distinguished by
the appellation of Mr., which in those days was an honorary title given to but
few, who were gentlemen of some distinction. There were only about thirty of
the three hundred and thirty-five original settlers of Ipswich who received this
honor.
Very soon after his arrival, March 3, 1636, by an act of the Court, John
Cogswell was admitted freeman, to which privileges none were admitted prior
to 1664 except respectable members of some Christian church. To freemen
alone were the civil rights to vote for rulers and to hold public office.
For several years Mr. Cogswell and family lived in the log-house with its
thatched roof, while many of their goods remained stored in boxes, awaiting
some better accommodations. It is said there were pieces of carved furni-
ture, embroidered curtains, damask table linen, much silver plate ; and that
there was a Turkey carpet is well attested. As soon as practicable Mr. Cogs-
well put up a framed house. This stood a little back from the highway, and

was approached by walks through ounds of shrubbery and flowers. There is
an- English shrub still, 1884, enjoying a thrifty life, which stands not far from
the site of the old Cogswell manor. This shrub, tradition says, John Cogswell
brought with him from England in 1635. Among other relics of their ances-
tor still treasured by his descendants are articles of personal attire and orna-
ment. A quaint mirror and many other curious things are in the possession of
Messrs. Albert and Jonathan Cogswell, brothers, who occupy the ancient Cogs-
well house in Essex. Mrs. Mary (Cogswell) Choate had the old clock which

The daughter of John Cogswell, whose name is not given, who remained in London,
and doubtless their oldest child, never came to America, so far as is known. Her brother,
John Cogswell- [4], who went back to England in 1652, and died Sept. 27, 1653, on the return
passage to America, visited her in London. He made mention in his letter to his parents of
his sister and her two children, but gave no names.
Edward Cogswell, the youngest son, is not named in his father's will. He probably
died in early life; although some say there is mention of him made in 1670 and in 1676.

in America and in England.

William Cogswell was the eldest son of John and Elizabeth Cogswell.
The record of his baptism in the Westbury register reads: "1619 Will. fil.
John Cogswell, March." Hence he was sixteen years of age at the time he
came with his parents to America in 1635, and about thirty when he was mar-
ried. He settled on the home place, and lived in a house that then stood a
little to the north of the site now occupied by the ancient Cogswell house
already mentioned. Mr. William Cogswell possessed many of the traits of his
father. He was a man of Christian character, and one of the most influential
citizens in that part of Ipswich. It was largely by his efforts that the Gospel
ministry was established in Chebacco. The first meeting for consultation on
this subject was held at his house Feb., 167^, and a petition to the town was
the result, asking the " liberty to call a minister to preach among themselves "
This not being granted, Mr. Cogswell was chosen chairman of a committee of
three to confer with the selectmen in regard to this matter. After two years
of opposition, several appeals to the General Court, and determination to
accomplish this end, at last, May 5, 1679, the Parish of Chebacco was estab-
lO
lished Mr. Cogswell gave the land on which to erect a meeting-house, a lot
thirteen rods by three. This first meeting-house in Chebacco stood on what
was long known as Meeting-house Hill. The site in x868 was o<^'^P^'^^l'^'
residence of Capt. Joseph Choate. The meeting-house was dedicated April
1680 Mr. Cogswell entertained at his house the Ecclesiastical Council, that
met Aug. 12, 1683, to organize the church and to ordain Mr. John Wise, their
^'''ReTRobert Crowell, D. D., in his "History of Essex," mentions William
Cogswell as the leading man in establishing the parish and the church and in
buitding the meeting-house. He was often chosen on the board of selectm n
of the town and the moderator of parish meetings. In 1693 the parish com-
mittee on the assignment of seats in the meeting-house, after the -anner o
those quaint days, gave Mrs. Cogswell a seat with the minister s wife, which
was significant of her respectability. , . 1 • -f^ ;^
Mr. Cogswell, in his will, dated Aug. 5, 1696, states that his wife is
deceased, and mentions his four sons and four daughters. To the former he
bequeaths all his landed estate, and to the latter all his personal proper y^
One of his daughters, Ann, had previously died. Mr. Cogswell died at the
age of eighty-on^ years, Dec. 15, 1700. His burial occurred Dec. 17 following.
A town meeting notified for that day was adjourned, "to give opportunity for
citizens to attend Mr. Cogswell's funeral."

liam Cogswell appealed to the next court, which confirmed the sentence, and bound the defend-
ant to the sum of ^300 to give a just and full account. The account was delivered to John,
who claimed that it was false. It was therefore rejected, and suit against William was entered
at Salem, Jan., 1676, which brought in judgment of ^300 against the defendant; from which,
appeal was made to the court in Boston. This court reversed the judgment, Sept., 1676, and
brought costs of court, ^13 4^., against John Cogswell. John did not pay these charges, but
m Oct., 1676, delivered his person to the marshal; and in the same October petitioned the
General Court, pleading his sad condition and inability, and asked another hearing. The
court ordered him to liberty, and granted him a hearing, to which William was summoned.
The whole case was heard over again. May 29, 1677. The conclusion was that the plaintiff
had to pay the judgment rendered, ^13 4^-. 'Thus ended the historic case of Cogswell vs.

Depositions in the Case of Cogswell vs. Cogswell, on Record, 1676-7.
Deposition of William Tarbox, Sen., aged sixty-two years or thereabouts. This
deponent testifieth and saith : "That in the year of our Lord 1635, I, the said deponent, did
come m the ship called the 'Angel Gabriel,' along with Mr. John Cogswell, Senior, from Old
England, and we were cast ashore at Pemaquid ; and I do remember that there were saved
casks, both of dry goods & provisions, which were marked with Mr. Cogswell, Senior's, mark ;
and that there was saved a tent of Mr. Cogswell's, which he had set up at Pemaquid, and
lived in it with the goods that he saved from the wreck, and afterwards Mr. Cogswell removed
to Ipswich ; and in November, after the ship was cast away, I, the said deponent, came to
Ipswich, and found Mr. Cogswell, Senior, living there, and hired myself with him for one year.
I, the said deponent, do well remember that there were several feather beds, and I together
with Deacon Haines, as servants, lay together on one of them ; and there were several dozen of
pewter platters, and that there were several bra.ss pans, besides other pieces of pewter and
other household goods, as iron work and other necessaries for house keeping, then in the
house there ; and I, the said deponent, do further testify that there were two mares and two
cows brought over in another ship, which were landed safe ashore, and were kept at Misticke
till Mr. Cogswell had them. I do further testify that my master, John Cogswell, Sen., had
three sons which came over along with us in the ship called the 'Angel Gabriel.' The eldest
son's name was William, and he was about 14 years; and the second son was called John,
and he was about 12 years of age then; and the 3d son's name was Edward, who was about 6
years of age at that time ; and further said not."

Xber, 1676. Before me, Richard Martyn, Comm.''

deponent testifieth and saith : " That I lived with Mr. John Cogswell, Sen., in Old England
about three years, a servant with him, and came over along with him to New England in the
ship called the 'Angel Gabriel,' and was present with him when my Master Cogswell suffered
shipwreck at Pemaquid, which was about forty years ago the last August when the ship was
cast away. I, the said Haines, do remember that there were saved of my master's goods
a good quantity of good household goods, both feather beds & bedding, and also a good
quantity of brass and pewter, and also several pieces of plate ; and to the best of my remem-
brance of this brass, there were several brass pans. Furthermore, I do remember that my
master had a Turkey worked carpet in Old England, which he commonly used to lay upon his
parlour table, and this carpet was put aboard among my master's goods, and came safe ashore,
to the best of my remembrance : all which goods, together with some provisions which were'
saved then, good-man Gallup brought to Ipswich in his bark for my master, except some of
them which the vessel could not hold ; and I, the said deponent, came along with him in the

JOHN COGSWELL.
[4]
(Sfcnealoflical.
JoHN^ Cogswell, {yolui"), son of Johni [il and Elizabeth (Thomp-
son) Cogswell, was born 1622, in Westbury Leigh, County of Wilts,
England. Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell resided in Chebacco, Ipswich, Mass.
Mrs, Cogswell died in 1652. Mr. Cogswell died Sept. 27, 1653.
THEIR CHILDREN WERE:
Elizabeth, [20] b. 1648; m. Abraham Wellman ; d. May 10, 1736.
John, [21] b. 1650; m. July 22, 1674, Margaret Gifford ; d. 1724.
Samuel, [22] b. 1651 ; m. Oct. 27, 1668, Susanna Haven.
3Sioflrapi)icaI.
JoHN^ Cogswell is found on record in the Westbury register: "1622,
Johannes Coggswell, filius Johannes Coggswell, baptizatus fuit 25 July."
Subsequent to his marriage, Mr. Cogswell devoted himself to farming. In
1651 he leased of the feoffees of the Ipswich Grammar School certain lands
called "The Neck," now known as " Jefferies Neck," for nine hundred and
ninety-nine years, in consideration of an annuity of ;^i4 ; /. 1?., "^4 in Butter
and cheese, ;^5 in pork and Beef, and ;^5 in Corn, at the current prices."
Shortly his wife died, leaving three children, the youngest a year old. Mr.
Cogswell was much broken by the affliction, and his health being poor, he
arranged with his sister, Mrs. Waldo, to care for his little ones, constituted his
father and older brother, William, their legal guardians, made his will, and
sailed for England in the fall of 1652. He arrived in London, visited his sister
and other friends, attended to matters of business, and when about to embark
for home he wrote a touching and affectionate letter to his parents, which was
dated London, March 30, 1653. A copy of this letter and also a copy of his
will are found on a following page.
Early in the autumn of 1653 Mr. Cogswell started on his return to
America, but died on the passage, Sept. 27, 1653, at the age of thirty years.
His orphaned children were brought up among his friends, their uncle William
acting as their guardian. The amount of property left by their father, as by
schedule of inventory, was ;^34i 10^. This was expended in the care and
education of the three children.

HANNAH COGSWELL.
[5]
(Sfrttfalotjital.
Hannah^ Cogswell, O////'), daughter of Johni [ij and Elizabeth
(Thompson) Cogswell, was born in Westbury Leigh, County of Wilts,
England. She married, 1652, Dea. Cornelius Waldo, of Ipswich, Mass.'
They lived in Ipswich, and subsequent to 1657, in Chelmsford, Mass.
Dea. Cornelius Waldo died June 3, 170L
THEIR CHILDREN WERE:
Elizabeth, m. Feb. 4, 1673, Josiah Brackett.
Daniel b. Aug. 19, 1656; m. Sept. 20, 1683, Susanna Adams.
Martha, b. Feb. 27, 1658.
John, '\ .^ j,^j^^ ^^ ^ f m. 1677, Rebecca Ada^ns; d. 1700.
Cornelius, \ ' " ' ' 1 m. Mrs. Faith {Peck) Jackson.
Deborah, b. Jan. 14, 1661.
Rebecca, b. Jan. 28, 1662; m. 1695 or 1697, Edward Emerson.
Judith, b. July 12, 1664.
Mary, b. Sept. 9, 1665, She died in infancy, Nov. 25, 1665.
Cornelius Waldo, it is claimed, was in the line of descent from Peter
Waldo, a merchant of Lyons, who lived in the twelfth century and became the
founder of the Waldenses, who occupied the valley of Piedmont, to which
Peter Waldo had retired. These Waldenses were distinguished both for their
industrious, upright, Christian lives and for the cruel persecutions they suffered.
That Cornelius was a descendant of Peter Waldo is not improbable.
Mr. Waldo first appears upon the town records in this entry : " Cornelius
Waldo, John Cogswell's farmer." And so John Cogswell's farmer aspired to
and won the hand of John Cogswell's daughter Hannah. About the time of
their marriage, Dea. Waldo purchased a house of " Richard Betts, of Ipswich,
and Joanna his wife, of Ipswich, in County of Essex, for and y" consideration
i6
of thirty pounds, this 14*'^ of Sept., 1652." This house is on High Street,
and one of the oldest in Ipswich. It is still standing, 1883, being more than
two hundred and thirty years old. For an engraving of this ancient dwelling,
known as " The Old Waldo House," vid. " Ipswich Antiquarian Papers " for
March, 1880. Aug. 31, 1654, Dea. Waldo sold this house, in consideration of
£2^, to John Caldwell, whose descendants still own it, although it has passed
out of the name.
In that part of Ipswich which is now Wenham, Rev. John Fiske early
gathered a church, of which he became the pastor, Oct. 8, 1644. Of this
church Cornelius Waldo was one of the first deacons. In May, 1657, Rev.
Mr. Fiske, with the greater part of his church, removed to the new town of
Chelmsford Dea. Waldo and family removed with them, and continued in
the office of deacon of the church in its new settlement. Rev. Mr. Fiske remain-
ing the minister for some twenty years after the removal. Dea. Waldo had a
farm, a store, and in later life he kept a tavern. His license as an innkeeper
was dated May 9, 1690. It was granted in consideration of his not allowing
"cards, a dice table, bowles, ninepins, billiards, or any other unlawful game."
He lived to good age ; his death occurred June 3, 1701. Mrs. Hannah (Cogs-
well) Waldo was the ancestress of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The time of her
death is unknown.

William Cogswell, when a lad, was out from home by the highway, where
some men were trying in vain to relieve a cow who had become choked with a
potato. There stood by, also, a young girl, eight or ten years old, who watched
with interest every effort made. When all experiments failed, and it was sug-
gested that only by some one thrusting his hand down the cow's throat would
the cow be saved, she at once said, " My arm is small ; I can do it best ; you
24
hold her mouth." They did so, and she drew out the potato, to the great relief
of the poor cow and all present. The young lad said to himself, " That young
miss, by and by, shall be my wife." Her name was Martha Emerson ; and
thus the name of Emerson came into the Cogswell family,
William^ Cogswell left an estate of £^41 2s. to be divided among his chil-

Jonathan Cogswell was a merchant ; received the appointment of Justice of the Peace,
and held a captain's commission. He was usually called " Capt. Jonathan Cogswell."
Francis Wainwright, Mrs. Cogswell's father, when a boy, came from Chelmsford, England.
He was noted in the Pequot war. He was once attacked hy two Indians at the same time ;
while defending himself, he broke the stock of his gun; he then used the barrel, and finally
killed them both. His brother, Capt. Simon Wainwright, of Haverhill, was a prominent citi-
zen, said to have been very wealthy. Tradition says he had a large chest filled with dollars.
He was killed by the Indians in the massacre in Haverhill, Mass., Aug. 29, 1708.
Mary Cognvell, daughter of Capt. Jonathan and Elizabeth Cogswell, was betrothed to
Ebenezer Choate, son of John and Mrs. Elizabeth (Giddings) Choate. He was born Jan. 23,
1694, and died 1718. Ebenezer Choate left by will : "To his dear and well-beloved Mrs. Mary
Cogswell, daughter of Capt. Jonathan Cogswell, ;i^30, of which ;,^I4 to purchase mourning."
She subsequently married her cousin, William* Cogswell [ 39 ]. Thus Ebenezer came to be a
family name in memory of this Ebenezer Choate.

Samuel Cogswell came to Saybrook, unmarried, about 1665, and settled
on a farm. The Colonial Records of Connecticut state that he was made
freeman, May, 1669. There has been some uncertainty expressed by different
writers as to his parentage and whence he came to Saybrook, also as to the
person he married. There is little doubt he was born in Ipswich, Mass., and
wasthe son of John^ Cogswell [ 4], who died on his return passage from Lon-
don in 1653, and that he married, as above given, Susanna Haven, of the
town of Lyme, Conn. Lyme was Saybrook until 1667.
^Wnnorantra.
Sainucl Cogswell, of Savbrook, Conn., sold, Feb. 9, 1674, five acres of land in Lyme, Conn.,
to Edward DeWolf, for the sum of £,\2.
Richard Havctt, Mrs. Cogswell's father, was a farmer in Saybrook, Conn., in 1645.
John Wastall, of Saybrook, Conn., deeded, June 13, i6Si, to the children of his loving
kinsman, Richard Haven, of Lyme, Conn., 3,000 acres of land in Hebron, Conn., which he had
by will of Joshua, Sachem. It is said that John Wastall mentions in his will Wastall Cogs
well, a son of Samuel and Susanna Cogswell, as a grandson. This suggests that the wife of
Richard Haven mav have been Susanna Wastall (instead of Newhall), a sister perhaps of
John Wastall, and so Richard Haven would l:)e his kinsman. .Some have read the name of
Samuel Cogswell's wife, which is much blotted on the record, " Hearn," others " Wastall " ;
but it was doubtless Susanna Haven.
" Sa7}iicel Cogswell sold 10 acres of salt marsh in Chebacque to Abraham Perkins. 1674."
This was land let to his father, John Cogswell, for 1,000 years. The land record shows that
the land willed by Joshua, Sachem, was divided into eightv-si.x shares among the proprietors
of Hebron, in 1702, the quantity being according to quality. John Wastall owned shares
Nos. 44, 66, and 83, about two hundred and sixty-three acres. .Samuel Cogswell owned two
shares, Nos. 9 and 84, making one hundred and nine and three fifths acres. The disposal of
these lands does not appear on the town records of Hebron ; probably to be found in probate
records, now in the Andover District, Tolland Co., Conn.
In 1 7 10 proprietors voted a second division of upland to be made, each proprietor receiv-
ing not less than fortv nor more than sixtv acres on each thousand-acre right. Samuel Cogs-
well received one hundred and one acres. Wastall Cogswell was dead. The same year,
1710, by a third division, Samuel Cogswell received twelve acres.
FOURTH GENERATION.
EDWARD COGSWELL.
[23]
Edward^ Cogswell, ( Willianfi, William'^, John^), son of William-^
[14] and Martha (Emerson) Cogswell, was born Aug. 13, 1686, in
Gloucester, Mass. He married, r/oS, Hannah Broivn. She was born
in 1 69 1. They resided in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, Mass. In 1735
remov^ed to Preston, Conn., and in 1747 removed and settled in New
Milford, Conn. Mrs. Cogswell died June 6, 1771. Mr. Cogswell died
April 17, 1773.

Edward Cogswell is mentioned as a member of "The New London Soci-
ety United for Trade and Commerce," in 1732. This was probably Edward* of
Ipswich, ]\lass., for we find him soon after, 1735, in Preston, New London Co.,
33
Conn., where he remained some ten years ; he then made a purchase of wild
land in the northern part of New Milford. He purchased, Sept. lo, 1745, of
John Baker and Caleb Mallory, for ^iio, old tenor, the thirty-third lot of the
south tier of lots in the so-called North Purchase, and became, in 1747, the
first settler in that region. Subsequently, he bought other lands in the vicinity,
established iron works, and did much to develop the resources of that new
country. Mr. Cogswell lived to be eighty-seven years of age. His grave is
near that of his youngest son, Major William^ [ 86 ] Cogswell, in the cemetery
of New Preston Parish, Washington, Conn.
Edward* Cogswell, his son, Samuel^, and son-in-law, Jacob Kinney, were very active in
establishing the institutions of religion in that part of New Milford known as New Preston,
now Washington, Conn. This was accomplished in 1753; and in Nov, 1754, " It was voted
to build a meeting-house 36x26 feet, with five windows of twelve lights each." It is said that
Edward Cogswell made a " Family Record of the Cogswells," and that there is a-n extant
copy of it in Cazenovia, Madison Co., N. Y. This has not been found; but his grandson,
John^, left a record, in possession of M. W. Cogswell, Esq., Elyria, Ohio, which has been of
great service. John** Cogswell [ 250 ] says that his uncle John' and aunts Lucy^ and Martha^
Cogswell, children of Edward, removed to some place in Vermont, near a lake. Edward
Cogswell had a large and influential family. His descendants are very nuriierous in Connecti-
cut, Vermont, and Pennsvlvania.
MARTHA COGSWELL.
[24]
Martha^ Cogswell, {Williajit^, William-, yohn^), daughter of Wil-
liam*^ [14] and Martha (Emerson) Cogswell, was born in Chebacco
Parish, Ipswich, Mass. She married, Oct. 9, \ y 10, Matthczv Whipple,
son of Major Matthew and Martha (Denison) Whipple, who was the
grand-daughter of Gen. Daniel Denison. They lived in Ipswich, Mass.,
and in New Milford, Conn.
IViUiam^ Cogszvell, Mrs. Whipple's father, died, and Matthew Whipple was appointed
guardian, 1709, of her brother Emerson and sister Dorothy, who were minors. Mrs. Whipple
was an heir to one-sixth part of the property of her deceased brother, William* Cogswell,
who was killed by the Indians in 17 10. Mr. and Mrs. Whipple deeded, Dec. 18, 1712, one-
sixth part of Loblolly Cove Point, which was property that they had received of her brother
William's estate. This deed was witnessed by Jonathan Cogswell. Mrs. Whipple's sister,
Mrs. Dorothy (Cogswell) Moulton, deeded, Nov. 20, 17 13, one-sixth part of Loblolly Cove
Point, the deed acknowledged by her Nov. 15, 17 17.
34
Matthe7u Whipple, of " Ipswich, in the County of Essex, in the Province of Massachusetts
Bay, yeoman," bought of Edward Cogswell, Oct 24, 1747, " one half of the Iron Works in New
Milford, North Purchase, standing on a stream called Aspetuck . . . with all the appurte-
nances, privileges, and accommodations belonging thereunto, with the privilege of the iron ore,
as I, said Edward Cogswell, have of P^lisha Williams and Martin Kellogg." From which it
appears that Edward Cogswell and his brother-in-law, Matthew Whipple, carried on the first
manufacturing interest in that part of New Milford.
iMartka De)iiso)i, Matthew Whipple's mother, was a daughter of John Denison, who was
the only son of Major Daniel Denison. Martha Denison married ^Thomas Wiggin, a grandson
of Gov. Thomas Wiggin, also of Gov. Simon Bradstreet. She married, July, 1693, ^Capt.
Jonathan Thing, of Exeter, N. H., who died Oct. 30, 1694. They had one son, Daniel, born
May 12, 1694. She then married ■'^Major Matthew Whipple. The "wife of Maj. Matthew
Whipple, Esq., died Sept. 12, 1728, in ye 6otli year of her age."
Capt. Jiviathati Thitii^'s first wife was Mary Oilman. They had two sons, Edward and
Moses Thing.

Emerson Cogswell, after marriage, resided some years in Ipswich. His
house stood near the present station on the Eastern Railroad, the site, 1884,
of Damon's Block. He was a tanner and currier, and carried on the business
35
near the Stone Bridge. He was a member of the First Church in 1746,
and became one of the original members of the South Parish, which was
incorporated by act of the General Court, June 5, 1747. He removed to
Boston, and in 1769 was residing at the corner of Salem and Hanover Streets.
He purchased, Dec. 17, 1771, a hatter's shop, in Concord, Mass., to which town
he soon after removed, and there spent the rest of his days.
Mary Cogswell, the oldest daughter of Emerson and Mary (Pecker) Cogswell, married
Capt. Burley, who followed the seas. Their residence was in Boston, Mass. They had no
children.
John Papillion, whose widow Capt. James Pecker married, was an Englishman. He mar-
ried Bridget in England, "June ye 7th, 1710. They had one son, Ebenezer, born April ye 9th,
1712." Mr. Papillion died 1718, in London. Soon after, Mrs. Papillion and her son arrived in
America. Her son, Ebenezer Papillion, followed the seas.
Caft. James Pecker, son of James and Ann (Davis) Peckei", was born Nov. 15, 1684, in
Haverhill, Mass. He married Mrs. Bridget Papillion. They had two daughters, Mrs. Cogs-
well and Mrs. Susanna Clarke. Mrs. Clarke wrote verses against the use of tea in the Revo-
lutionary times. Mrs. Pecker survived her husband, Capt. James Pecker, who died April 28,
1734, and also her son, Ebenezer, who was lost at sea in 1736, at the age of twenty-four years.
Subsequently to the death of both husband and son, she writes : " Very pleasant were these
to me while living. The loss of them will make me go mourning to my grave." A paper,
inscribed by her after her husband's death, had the following reference : " He was my truly
worthy and dearly beloved James Pecker, who died April ye 28th, 1734, in the forty-ninth year
of his age, in the division of things to me, his widow, Bridget Pecker." " Open Thou mine eyes
that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law." Capt. James Pecker devised an estate of
nearly ;i^3,ooo. For a copy of his will, dated April 22, 1734, and of the inventory of his estate,
dated May 10, 1734, vid. "Pen Portraits," pp. 565-572.
Mrs. Mary {Pecker) Cogstuell had an uncle, John Pecker, of Haverhill, and an uncle,
Daniel Pecker, of Boston, Mass. It is thought, that Dr. James Pecker, of Haverhill, who
married, Dec. 13, 1744, Susannah Cogswell [132], was a near relative.

Jonathan Cogswell inherited the Cogswell homestead. He was com-
missioned Justice of the Peace, Oct. 26, 1733- His commission, bearing the
signatures of the Province officers, is still in existence ; also a volume, heavily
bound, which as a magistrate he often consulted, entitled " Acts and Laws of
His Majesty's Province of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England, Passed by
the Great and General Court in Assembly of the Massachusetts Bay, Published
1726." The date of the most ancient enactment was 1692. It is said that
Jonathan Cogswell, Esq., built the house in which the late Adam Boyd resided.
The stone that marks the grave of Mrs. Cogswell is thus inscribed : " Here
lyes ye body of Mrs. Hannah Cogswell, wife to Mr. Jonathan Cogswell, Dec'd
June ye i8th, 1723, In the 32(1 year of her age." The stone that marks his
grave bears this inscription : " Here lies Buried the Body of Jonathan Cogs-
well, Esq , who departed This Life April ye 2ndj 1752, Aged 64 years." There
is also another stone, without date, which doubtless marks the grave of his
infant son, Jonathan, inscribed as follows : " Here lyes the body of Jonathan
Cogswell, son to Jonathan Cogswell, Esq., and Mrs. Elizabeth Cogswell, Aged
I yr. 8 mos. 16 days."

Nathaniel Cogswell was three years old when his father died. He went
from home in boyhood, and entered a store in Haverhill, Mass. He became
a leading merchant and a prominent citizen of the town. In person he was
of medium stature, portly, of dark complexion, with black hair and eyes. He
was a man of integrity and business capacity. He united with the church
June I, 1746, and was a devoted and efficient member.
Mrs. Cogswell was the only surviving daughter of Joseph Badger, Esq., a
merchant in Haverhill. She was but sixteen years of age at the time of her
marriage. At the age of twenty, March i8, 1744, she united with the church.
She was a person of commanding figure and cultured manners. Her com-
plexion was fair, her hair brown, and her eyes blue.
47
Mr. Cogswell, after a successful business life, retired in 1766, and settled
upon a farm in Atkinson, N. H. He at once became artive in establishing
religious and educational institutions in the town. He gave the land and
contributed freely toward the first meeting-house, which was erected by private
subscription in 1768-9. Prior to the completion of the meeting-house, public
worship was conducted in Mr. Cogswell's house.
During the Revolutionary War his patriotism was declared by large loans
of money, to provide equipments and provisions for the soldiers. These
loans of money, by reason of a depreciated currency, proved almost a total
loss. Beside providing money, Mr. Cogswell gave eight sons to the army,
who served with distinction, and fulfilled an aggregate term of service of more
than thirty-eight years ; said to be the longest rendered by any family in the
country. It is said that these eight sons were of such height that in the
aggregate they measured about fifty feet, making a large amount of soldier
lineally, as well as in other respects. They all survived the war, and became
prominent in professional and civil life.
The last survivor of this large family was Joseph Cogswell, M. D., who
died March 17, 185 1, in Tamworth, N. H.

VVastall Cogswell evidently received his name from John Wastall, who
was in some way connected with the family ; perhaps an uncle of Mrs, Susan-
nah (Haven) Cogswell. The name Wastall has various spellings, viz., Westall,
Westell, Wastoll, and Wastall.
Mr. Wastall Cogswell was a blacksmith, as appears from the inventory
made of his effects, April 21, 1709. That he was married twice, and the name
of his first wife was Hannah, appear in a further statement, in which mention
is made of " clothes given to Hannah, that was his first wife." Mention is
made that Wastall Cogswell administered upon the estate of the said Samuel
Cogswell, his honored father. Wastall Cogswell must have died about 1709.
as his brother Samuel Cogswell received an inventory of his estate as his exec-
utor, April 21, 1709.

Samuel'' Cogswell, {Sai/incI^, yohn~, yo/iu^), son of Samuel'^ [22]
and Susanna (Haven) Cogswell, was born Aug. 3, iGyy, in Saybrook,
Conn. He married, March 17, 1701, ^Mrs. Ann {Mason) Dcnison,
daughter of Capt. John Mason, and widow of John Denison, Jr. They
resided in Lebanon, Conn. Mrs. Ann Cogswell died, and Mr. Cogs-
well married ^Abigail . They lived in Canterbury, Conn. Mr.
Cogswell died March 21, 1752. Mrs. Abigail Cogswell died June 17,
1753-
THE CHILDREN OF THE FIRST MARRIAGE WERE :
Samuel, [189] b. Dec. 25, 1701. He probably died in infancy.

Samuel Cogswell probably lived a few years after marriage in Say-
brook, Conn. ; but certain lands coming into his possession in Lebanon, he
removed to that place. In advanced life IVIr. Cogswell made his home with
his son, Rev. James Cogswell, of Canterbury, Conn. There was a Samuel
Cogswell received to the communion of the church in Lebanon, June 30, 1728,
and an Ann Cogswell, Aug. 29, 1742. These were probably Samuel and his
wife, IVErs. Ann Cogswell.
Mrs. Ann (Denison) Cogswell, tie'e Mason, was the daughter of Capt.
John Mason, who was in King Philip's War, and died of wounds received in
a battle with the Indians at Narragansett Ford, in 1675. Mrs. Cogswell had
one brother, John Mason. Mrs. Cogswell's grandfather was Major John
Mason, who was born in 1600, in England; came to America in 1630; settled
in Dorchester, Mass., but removed to Connecticut in 1635 ; was one of the
founders of Windsor; took an active part in the Pequot War, after which, lived
in Saybrook, and removed, in 1659, to Norwich, Conn. He was for thirty
years Major of the colonial forces, a magistrate from 1642 to 1668, and Deputy-
Governor of Connecticut from 1660 to 1670. By the request of the General
Court of Connecticut, he prepared an account of the Pequot War, which was
published by Increase Mather, and reprinted in 1677.

Major Mason married, July, 1639, '^ Anne Peck, of Hartford, Conn. Their
children were Isabel; Priscilla, b. Oct., 1641, m., Oct., 1664, Rev. James Fitch,
being his second wife; Rachel; Anne, b. June, 1650, m. Dr. William Whiting,
of Great Barrington, Mass. ; David ; and Elizabeth, who married James Fitch,
eldest son of Rev. James Fitch, so that father and son married sisters. Rev.
James Fitch, first minister of Saybrook, Conn., was born Dec. 24, 1622. in
Bocking, England. He came to America in 1638, studied seven years, was
ordained in England in 1646, and settled in Saybrook, Conn., but in later life
removed to Norwich, Conn., where he died in 1696. His will was an important
document.
Capt. John Mason, of Stonington, deeded, March 8, 1725, to Samuel and Ann Cogswell
certain lands in Lebanon, Conn., the consideration being a " General Release or quit claim
from Samuel and Ann Cogswell, daughter of Capt. John Mason, Esq., of Norwich, deceased,
to him, ye said Capt. John Mason, of Stonington, ... of the other real and personal effects
of said John Mason, deceased." From which it appears that Capt. John Mason, of Stoning-
ton, was son of Capt. John Mason, Esq., of Norwich, and brother of Mrs. Ann Cogswell.
Mrs. Cogswell's first husband, John Denison, Jr., was a grandson of Gen. Daniel Denison,
of Ipswich, Mass. The date of Mrs. Ann Cogswell's death is not ascertained, but we find
July 3, 1748, Samuel and Abigail Cogswell, parents of Rev. James Cogswell, admitted to the
church in Canterbury, Conn.
Robert Cogswell received deed of land from his parents, Samuel and Ann (Mason) Cogs-
well, Sept. 7, 1733. There was a Robert Cogswell, of Haddam, Conn., mentioned in 1741.
Robert Cogswell owned a small piece of land in Haddam, which he sold in 1739. His mark
was entered on the Town Records of Haddam, Conn.
Jedidiah Cogswell lived in Hanover, Hunterdon Co., N. J. The Town Records of Lebanon,
Conn., under date of Sept. 14, 1733, mention a deed given by Samuel and Ann (Mason) Cogs-
well to their son Jedidiah Cogswell, weaver, of Hanover, Hunterdon Co., N. J.
Samuel^ Cogswell [68], of Lebanon, Conn., may have had other children, viz. : Alithea
Cogswell, who was admitted to the communion in 1730, and who married, March 23, T731,
David Foster ; Phebe and Hannah Cogswell, who were admitted to communion the same
year, 1735; •'^'^o Temperance Cogswell, who married, Nov. 10, 1737, Jo/in Hutchiiison.

Joshua'' Cogswell, according to tradition, hailed from Rochester, Mass., in 1730, and pur-
chased land in Coventry, Conn. An old record of the town of Windsor reads : "Joshua Cogs-
well, of Windsor, deeded land to Joshua, of Coventry, in Jan., 1756." Joshua Cogswell, of
Windsor, lived in that part of the town which is now Ellington, Conn. Although lacking-
positive documentary proof, it is quite assured that the above Joshua* Cogswell was the son
of Samuel^ and Susanna (Haven) Cogswell, of Saybrook, Conn.
Joshua, Sachem, was an Indian chief, owning a large territory of land lying in Saybrook,
Colchester, Hebron, and perhaj^s other towns. He willed a large tract, if not the whole of it,
to a company of men, and they divided it among themselves. In this division there occur the
names of Cogswell and Wastall as owners of these lands, who were called legatees of Joshua.
Samuel Cogswell, of Saybrook, Conn., devised 3,000 acres of land in Hebron that belonged
to his estate. This was in nine undivided parts, doubtless belonging to his nine children, but
onlv eight appear recorded ; counting Joshua we have the nine. This and other incidental
eviderces go to show that Joshua Cogswell [ 73 ] was Samuel C'ogswell's youngest son.

Samuel Cogswell, the oldest son of Edward Cogswell, of Ipswich, went,
when a young man, to Preston, Conn. He was married and had eight children
while resident in that town. Subsequently, under date of June g, 1746, he
purchased of Caleb Mallery two lots, Nos. 30 and 31, of wild land in that part
of New Milford, Conn., which was then called "North Purchase," and after-
wards known as New Preston Parish, now Washington, Conn, He paid for
this land ^^300, old tenor.
His father, who had removed to Preston in 1735, also made a purchase of
land in the same vicinity ; and some time in-1747, Samuel Cogswell, his father,
6o
and his uncle, Matthew Whipple, took up the land they had bought, and became
the earliest settlers in that region.
Mr. Cogswell, after some ten years, removid, and his subsequent history is
not ascertained. It is said that he was married three times, and had nineteen
children. He may have been the Samuel Cogswell who died March 2, 1779,
in Mount Washington, Mass.

There is found recorded the following action of the Assembly of Connecticut, under date

2d company or trainband in the town of Preston."
John^ Cogswell \7.yi\ son of Major William^ Cogswell [86], of New Preston, in 1801
rode on horseback, in company with his mother, Mrs. Anna (Whittlesey) Cogswell, to visit his
brother, Roger^ Cogswell [ 241 ], in Hartford ; and from thence to Preston, to visit his uncle,
Nathaniel^ Cogswell [ 76 ], who, he says, " was smart and active, although eighty-seven years
old, the last uncle living on the Cogswell side."
James W? Cogszvell\e^'o']\ of Parma, Ohio, 1883, at the age of eighty-three years, remem-
bered his grandfather, NathanieP Cogswell, who lived to the age of ninety-seven years. An
incident is told of Lieut. Cogswell. At the age of eighty years, he rode on horseback some
miles to visit his son. When ready to start homeward, his son led the saddled horse to the
horse-block for his father to mount; but the old gentleman said, '■'■ A^o ! my son ; token I can-
not mount my horse from the ground, I ivill ride no more.''''
A stone marks the grave of Lieut. Nathaniel Cogswell in the Griswold Cemetery, and is

Elisha Whittlesey, son of John and Mary (Beal) Whittlesey, was born Oct. ig, 1783,

son. When he was nine years old, 1792, his parents removed to Salisbury, Conn., where his
boyhood was spent. He early qualified himself for the ])ractice of law, and was admitted to
the bar of the county ccnut of Fairfield, and opened an office in New Milford, Conn.
About 181 2 he removed with his family to Canfield, Mahoning Co., Ohio. The country
was then new; and it is said that he drove his wagon into the woods, and his family lived in
it until a log-cabin could be built for them. Mr. Whittlesey secured a large professional prac-
tice in his own county and throughout Northern Ohio. He rose rapidly in public estima
tion, and was much respected for his ability as a lawyer and also as a gentleman of singular
uprightness.
In 1823 he was elected to Congress from Ohio, and continued a member of the House of
Representatives for eighteen years. Soon after he took his seat he was appointed on the
Committee of Claims, of which he became chairman. While of this committee he effected

great changes by his stern integrity, perseverance, and industry. Whatever measures he
reported, the Congress were quite sure to adopt. He was at the head of the Treasury Depart-

was completed, prior to the War of the Union. He spent the most of his life in Washington,
U. C. His death occurred in 1865. On a preceding page is an engraving of him.
Hoit. Elisha Whittlesey may have been related to William Whittlesey, the Archbishop of

William-'"' Cogswell was the youngest of thirteen children. While an
infant his parents removed, 1735, to Preston, and later they settled in the
northeast part of New IVIilford, Conn. His father purchased a large tract of
land, and was the first settler in that region.
William, when about twenty-one years old, purchased of his father, Aug. 29,
1756, ninety acres of land. To this he added from time to time, until he became
the owner of some 2,000 acres in and about New Preston Parish, with numer-
ous buildings and appurtenances. He had a tavern, a country store, an iron
foundry, a saw and grist mill, a potashry, a distillery and malt-house. From
his orchards were made a thousand barrels of cider per annum. He kept
twenty cowsj a hundred sheep, and employed twenty men. At the age of
twenty-eight he married Anna Whittlesey. Her father was the grandson of
the immigrant, John Whittlesey, of Saybrook, Conn,, who married Ruth Dudley,

sick of their iinpeitineiice, she armed herself with a chair, and cleared the house in quick
time. In later life she was wont to sav, ^'' I never feared a Tory."
There is a tradition that an indignant public determined on a coat of tar and feathers for
one Patterson, a noted Tory. They seized him and brought him to the " Cogswell Tavern " to
execute their purpose. But Mrs. Cogswell made show of great remonstrance, and warned them,
with a significant look, not to touch the tar down cellar nor the feathers up-stairs. This was
enough to notify them where the needed articles were ; and alas for poor Patterson ! he was
taken to an oak-tree near by, and the coat of tar and feathers applied with great thoroughness
and satisfaction.
As a magistrate Major Cogsw'ell sometimes married people. A couple from the old
country, whom he had married not long before, came into his yard one day and wished to be
unmarried. He said, " I '11 do it." There stood near by a block and cleaver. " Here," he
said, " whichever of vou wishes to be unmarried, put your head on this block, and I will cut
it off; that will do it." They stared at him, then looked at each other, and at last one of
them timidly asked, " Is there no other way .-' " He said, " No." They concluded not to be
unmarried.

Cogswell resided in a building in later years known as " The Old Block-
House." After his father's death his mother resided with him and kept school
in his house, having her grandchildren among her pupils. Subsequent to the

well in person was portly, wore short-clothes with knee buckles, after the

Mr. Cogswell's family, and Mr. Samuel Bartlett. Mr. Cogswell was a great
reader, and familiar with the Bible. The copy from which he read bears the
marks of use. It was a Dublin edition of 17 14, and is in the possession of
Mrs. William S. Robinson, of Maiden, Mass. Lieut. Emerson Cogswell died
May 13, 1808, at the age of sixty-five years, and was buried in the old North
Hill Cemetery in Concord, Mass. At his funeral Rev. Dr. Ripley remarked,
71
" If there ever was a good man, I think Mr. Cogswell was one." The follow-
ing appeared in a Boston paper of that date : " He was a valuable member of
society, and his loss is deeply regretted by many who have tasted of and
experienced the substantial benefits of his beneficence. He was a faithful
and interesting companion, and an honest man."
Dr. Stone, who married Mary Cogswell [ 251 ], removed to Georgia, where he died in
1849, at the age of seventy-two years. There were no children.
James Call, who married Lucy Cogswell [ 253 ], was the son of James Call. He was born,
lived, and died in Charlestown, Mass. He was a baker. Mrs. Call remained a widow, and
for some twenty years made her home with a nephew, Jeremiah Robinson, and died at his
house in Jackson, Mich., at the age of more than eighty years. They had no children.

of 1812, taken prisoner, and died at an early age. He was on board the " Old Constitution."

Nathaniel Cogswell was indentured Sept., 1756, by his guardian, Joseph
Appleton, to Dr. John Perkins of Boston, until the completion of his twenty-
first year, " to learn his art or mystery as much as may be in physick, Perkins
surgery, anatomy, and pharmacy," for which he was " to pay to the said John
sixty-six pounds, thirteen shillings, and fourpence lawful money," and Dr. Per-
kins agreed " to find meat, drink, washing, and lodging fitting and suitable for
the s'l Nath'."
" After his settlement in Rowley he did not practise physic, for which by a
natural distaste and too great sensibility he was ill-fitted, but soon transformed
his lancet into the sickle, and the drug-shop into a garner. He considered
agriculture as the most independent and least responsible occupation, and was
delighted, not only with theoretical, but with practical and experimental hus-
bandry. Unlike his brother, Col. Cogswell [ 99 ], of Ipswich, who had for many
years served both in military and legislative capacity, he was averse to public
life, yet, at the news of Lexington fight, he equipped his horse and himself and
hurried to Cambridge, where he remained until the alarm was over."
" His heart and cares were centred in home. He loved tranquillity and
hated wars and rumors of wars, and thought that only by pride cometh con-
tention. Still he was an independent, self-thinking man, inflexible in princi-
ple and active in beneficence."
May 8, 1875, ^^ ^'^^ appointed by the town of Rowley one of the Com-

Jt)NATHAN Cogswell was born on the " Cogswell farm " in Chebacco
Parish, where he settled down and became a thrifty farmer. In 1791 he pur-
chased and removed to what was called the " Pickering place." The house

tively. Col. Cogswell was greatly affected by the death of his only surviving
son. Col. Jonathan Cogswell, Jr., a young man of ability and great promise,

William Cogswell was a trader. He resided and had a store in Boston
until just before the siege of that town in 1775, vv'hen he was compelled to
seek safety for himself and family by removal. He abandoned his business
and the new house he had lately built, on Milk Street, and removed to Marl-
boro', Mass., where he continued in trade and also carried on the manufacture
of potash He died at the age of seventy-three years, leaving a large family
and a good estate. This record is made of him : " Mr. Cogswell was a genial,
generous, hospitable man, and a good patriot."
William Cogswell's mother was the daughter of Rev. John Rogers, of Ipswich, Mass.,
who was the son of Rev. John Rogers, president of Harvard College, who was the son of
Rev. Nathaniel Rogers, of Ij^swich, who was the son of Rev. John Rogers, of Dedham,
England, who was the grandson of J'JHN Rogers, who was burned at the stake, Feb. 5, 1555,
in Smithfield, England.
Mrs. Abigail [Dawes] Cogswell was brought up in a home so strict in the godliness of the
times "that the children were not allowed to laugh or look out of the window on Sunday."
William'^ Daives, (Thomas^, Anibrose"^, IVillia/n^), her father, died Nov. 14, 1S02.
JVilliaiii Dau'es, Jr., a brother of Mrs. Cogswell, was a distinguished patriot. His name
is associated with that of Paul Revere. When Paul Revere started from Charlestown for
Lexington and Concord on the night of April 18, 1775, William Dawes, Jr., left Boston by the
road over the Neck at full speed towards Lexington, rousing the people as he went along.
William Dawes, Jr., was born April 6, 1745, in Ann Street, Boston, Mass. He was a
tanner, and his place of business was at the corner of Sudbury and Friend Streets. He mar-
ried, May 3, 176S, Mehitable May, at the age of seventeen, daughter of Samuel and Catharine
(Mears) May, of Boston. They lived for seven or eight years at 64 Ann Street. They were
both members of the Old South Church. They had six children. He fought at Bunker Hill.
In later life they lived in Marlboro', Mass., where he died Feb. 25, 1799.
John Ada?iis s-a.\A to Samuel Adams that they had seen "four noble families rise up in
Boston, the Craftses, Gores, Daweses, and Austins."
William Cogsiuell, being engaged in trade, was accustomed to go to New York and Phil-
adelphia for goods. Some time during the war it is said, " he made a journey to Philadel-
phia and returned on horseback, bringing his saddle-bags full of nutmegs, which he sold for
one dollar apiece." The descendants of Mr. Cogswell still live in Marlboro'. His daughter
Ruth occupied the old homestead till her death. William Gibbon, of Marlboro', and John
Brown, a merchant in Concord, Mass., were his grandsons.
A GR.VNDDAUGHTER of William and Abigail (Dawes) Cogswell gives a graphic account
of the hegira of the family from Boston, in 1775. She says, "I have often heard my grand-
mother relate the manner of their moving. The crowds of people who were eager to leave
the town made it extremely difficult to get a vehicle for their goods, or conveyance for them-
selves. After a good deal of trouble, however, they succeeded in getting a one-horse wagon,
with a colored man, who was servant in the family of a relative, for a driver, and into this
wagon they put all the goods they could take with them. Another vehicle on two wheels, a
sort of chaise without a top, was to convey the women and children. The second wife of
Grandfather Dawes, Mrs. Hannah (Jackson) Dawes, had her two children, afterwards Mrs.
Tidd and Mrs. Hammond, then nine and ten years of age. These children had shawls tied
round their waists, attached to Grandmother Dawes's arms, to hold them in. The good lady
was also to hold Grandmother Cogswell's baby, while grandmother drove. This was very
likely her first attempt at driving, and she was not very skilful, as subsequent events proved.

" Starting out in tliis queer fashion, they must have presented a spectacle both ludicrous
and touching, for they carried heavy hearts with them, leaving dear ones behind of whose fate
they were uncertain, and feeling anxious for their own. They were obliged to ask leave to
pass the gates (on the Neck), grandfather, with hat in hand, waiting while an official examined
his goods to see that no arms or ammunition were concealed in them. After due search they
were allowed to pass on. They proceeded very well for a time, but came to grief before
night, for, going down a hill in Weston, the horse in the gig, or whatever it might be called,
fell down, throwing out the entire load. The baby's face was badly cut upon the sharp stones
and bled profusely, but a brook was near by (Stony Brook), at which they bathed the child's
face and rested.
" In after years, as the family journeyed back and forth to and from Boston, this brook was
pointed out as the scene of their peril and delivery. In due time they reached Marlboro'.
They lived for a time in a few hired rooms, and afterwards rented a house in the middle of
the town, where grandfather began a small trading business. Afterwards, when he had decided
to remain there, he bought a very pleasant house, which had been owned by Col. Barnes, a
Tory, and confiscated, and there resided until his death." Vid. "Dawes Genealogy."
Charles'^ Cogswell [ 304 ] married Lucy Wilder ; he died June 11, 1838. Mrs. Lucy Cogs-
well died 1846. The will of Widow Lucy Cogswell, of Marlboro', Mass., was proved May,

DEATH OF THE

OF GILMJNTON, JV. ff.
Departed this life, on Monday tlie 3d day of September, 1810, tlie Hon

Wednefday following, his remains were decently interred, attended by his dif-
confolate and afTedlionate wife and children ; together with a numerous and
refpedlable concourfe of people, who fympathized with his relations at the lofs
of fo kind a Hufband, indulgent Parent, and worthy member of the commu-
nity. He was born at Haverhill, in the Commonwealth of Maffachufetts ;
at an early age, with the good of his country at heart, he became an Officer
in the United States fervice, in the Revolutionary War, in which he continued
during all our llruggles with England, and exhibited himfelf the Patriot and
the Hero. — When Peace was echoed from fhore to fliore, the good of his
country called him into another fphere of a6lion. — Here he difplayed that
firmnefs and benevolence, which chara6lerize the great and the good Statef-
man ; and continued a firm fupporter of the rights of his fellow-citizens, and
the liberty of his country until his departure. No man could have been more
ufeful ; from his youth, he was given to hofpitality. The rich and the great
honoured him, and the poor fliared in his bounty. — Thus has fallen one, for
whom while his connexions mourn, his country will lament.
" Hope fprings beyond the grave."

A Memorial to the Honorable Continental Conorkss.
" The Memorial of Major Thomas Cogswell sheweth that he entered into the .ser-
vice of the U. S. on the 19th of April, 1775, with the command of a company in the line
of Mass. ; that the reduction and mode of raising regiments for the service from that State
down to 1777 did not admit of any promotion of those otficers who were retained in service
(accidental causes excepted) ; at the beginning of 1777 your memorialist received the apjjoint-
ment of Major in the ist Mass. Regt. ; that on the 6th of Sept., 1779, there was a vacancy of
a Lieut.-Col. in the 15th Mass. Regt. ; that your memorialist and then Major Hull became com-
petitors for that office ; that on the 26th of Nov. your memorialist was appointed a Lieut.-Col.
by the authority of the State of Mass., at which time your memorialist and his competitor were
present and examined respecting the premises ; that on the next day Major Hull requested the
authority of the State for a re-hearing ; it was granted and terminated a 2d time in favor
of your memorialist, who then repaired to camp, took command in the 15th Regt., and
was mustered as Lieut.-Col.; that your memorialist's competitor kept up the dispute, and
in Feb., 1780, ex parte obtained an appointment to the same office. The contention was
still continued, and at the close of the year 17S0 your memorialist, rather than continue the
dispute, which appeared to be injurious to the service, requested in a letter to Brig.-Gen.
Glover to retire from the service in the arrangement to take place, with a determination never
to take on him any military command whatever, but at the repeated solicitations of the Quar-
termaster General, and at the request of many principal olificers in the army, vour memorialist
accepted that of Wagon-Master General, and had continued to this day. Although there was
a series of misfortunes attended your memorialist as to his rank (too many to impart in a
memorial), yet he flatters himself he is in possession of such documents as to convince Con-
gress that he is not unworthy their notice, and from the disposition that Hon. body has
ever shown to reward the deserving part of the army, he is induced to request Congress to
take his particular circumstances under their consideration, and confirm to him his rank of
Lieut.-Col. from the 6th of Sept., 1779, '^'^•^^ the Paymaster Gen. mav issue his certificates for
receiving of pay and commutation accordingly. As in duty bound, &c., &c."
Gen. George Washington's Letter.
"I certify that in the dispute of rank between Majors Hull and Cogswell, which was ulti-
mately determined in favor of the former, there was no personal preference to Major Hull, but
that his succession to the vacant Lieutenant-Colonelcy depended solely upon the established
principles of promotion, he having been considered as an elder Major than Major Cogswell
from the time of the new arrangement of the army in 1777. And I do further certify that
Major Cogswell has been always represented to me as an intelligent, brave, and active officer.
"Given at Headquarters at New Windsor, the 7th of Jan., 1781.

dent-General in 1787. There were present at the organization of this order, and
among its original members, Major Thomas Cogswell, Capt. Amos Cogswell,
brothers, and Lieut. Samuel Cogswell ; the latter was probably Samuel" Cogs-
well [480], son of Rev. James'' Cogswell, D. D., of Canterbury, Conn. They
all served through the war with distinction. Subsequently, when the war was
over, Major Cogswell received from Gov. Langdon, of New Hampshire, a com-

Gen. Washington, on his Northern tour in 1789, visited Portsmouth,
N. H., and was escorted, Oct. 30, 1789, from the State line to the town by
Col. Cogswell's regiment of Light Horse, Col. Cogswell himself being in
command. Col. Amos Cogswell took up his residence in Dover, N. H , Sept.,
1784. He married, Nov. 20, 1785, Mrs. Lydia (Baker) Wallingford, a daugh-
ter of Col. Otis Baker, of Dove;', N H. She was the widow of Capt.

Wallingford, was killed on board the '' Ranger," under command of John Paul
Jones, in the naval battle and capture of the P]iitish ship of war " Drake,"
April 24, 1778, off Belfast, Ireland.
Capt. Samuel and Lydia (Baker) Wallingford had one son, who was born
May 19. 1776, and named George Washington. He graduated at Harvard
College in i7'95, was admitted to the bar in 1798. and practised law in Wells,
now Kennebunk, Me., until his death, Jan. 20, 1824. Vid. " Wentworth

ford was solemnized by Rev. Jeremy Belknap, D. D , minister of Dover,
and Historian of New Hampshire, Col Cogswell was called to fill many
civil offices as a citizen of Dover, N. H. He represented the town in the
State Legislature as Representative in 1807, 1808, 1809, i8io, 1812, 1814, 1815,
and perhaps other years. He was State Senator in 1818, 1819, and 1820, and
Presidential Elector in 1816. He was chosen President of the New Hamp-
shire branch of "The Society of the Cincinnati." There is still extant a

July 8, 1820, in his own handwriting. An extract from this petition is copied
on the following page. Vid Memoranda.
Hon. Amos Cogswell died at the age of seventy-three years. Mrs. Cogs-
well survived her husband about two years, and died at the age of sixty-eight

A?i Extract: "About the loth Mav, 1775, I entered the service uf my country as Second
Lieutenant in Col. Gerrish's regiment, in the Massachusetts line, and was in a small action
with the enemy at Sewell's Point with their floating batteries. In 1776 I served as Second
Lieutenant in Col. Baldwin's regijnent in New York; was in a small action with the enemy
when they landed at Throg's Neck, and also at White Plains.
" At Trenton I waded across the river, and took two Hessian prisoners under the Bridge;
in doing which I got a bad cold, and have had the rheumatism more or less ever since. In
1777, January ist, I was ajjpointed a Captain in the 9th Massachusetts Regiment, commanded
by Col. James Wasson ; was ujj the Mohawk River; took Ensign Butler with fourteen Canada
Rangers and three Indians, prisoners ; was at the raising of the siege of Fort Schuyler ;
marched from Albany to Ballston with one hundred men, and took forty refugees prisoners,
that were going to Canada ; was at the taking of Burgoyne ; marched into their encampment
with one hundred men, when their troops marched out, and collected together all their arms,
and made my report to the Adjutant-General that night.
"From there I joined General Washington at Whitemarsh; was in the battle of Mon-
mouth ; was in a small action near Kings's Bridge, when the French troops joined the Amer-
ican armv.
" I continued in service until the last day of December, 1783, when I left with a commis-
sion of Brevet Major.
"I retired from service and settled at Dover, N. H. I married a young widow, whose
husband was a Captain of Marines, Samuel Wallingford, in the ship ' Ranger,' with Capt.
Paul Jones, Commander, when he took the British ship of war ' Drake,' and then lost his
life. According to the several acts of Congress, she was entitled to about $1,000 for the
prisoners and guns so taken, but she has never been able to obtain anything. She is now in
years, very infirm, of the same complaint as my own. She thinks she ought to draw a stipend
from Government for one or the other of her husbands.
" I have always been a true friend to my country, both in the field and cabinet. I have
served about ten years as a member in our General Court, three years in the Honorable Sen-
ate, and have had the honor of being one of the electors, in 1S16, for our present President
and Vice-President. I do say, not to my knowledge did I ever miss a regular tour of duty
the whole time I was in service, but performed hundreds for my brother officers that were
absent in visiting their friends.

William Cogswell, at the age of twelve years, preparatory to the study
of medicine, was placed under the private instruction of his uncle. Rev. Jona-
than Searle, of Mason, N. H. The war of the Revolution breaking out. he
entered the army, at the age of fifteen years, enlisting in the company com-
manded by his older brother, Capt. Thomas Cogswell, in Col. Baldwin's regi-
ment. Having served the term of his enlistment, from Jan. r, 1776, to Jan. i,
1777, he pursued the study of medicine and surgery with Dr. Nathaniel Pea-
body, of Atkinson, N. H. In 1778 he re-entered the service of his country for
a short time, under Gen. Sullivan, of Rhode Island. Having completed his
medical studies, he was appointed, July 19, 1781, Surgeon's Mate in the Military
Hospital at West Point, N. Y. Jan. 5, 1784, he was promoted to the position
of Surgeon-in-Chief of the hospital and Chief Medical Officer of the United
States Army, which he filled from June 20, 1784, to Aug., 1785. Dr. Cogswell
resigned the position of Surgeon-in-Chief, Sept. i, 1785, and terminated his
connection with the army, having been some five years in the service of the
country. He soon- after married and settled in Atkinson, N. H., where he
continued in the practice of his profession, for almost half a century, until his
death.
Dr. Cogswell was one of the original members of the New Hampshire
Medical Society, which was incorporated in 1791. He was appointed by the
General Court one of its nineteen Fellows. Many medical students were under
his instruction. He was one of the founders of Atkinson Academy, which was
incorporated in 1791, and a member and the President of its Board of Trustees
I04
for many years. He gave the land on which the academy was erected. Dr.
Cogswell was appointed, Oct. 5, 1794, Justice of the Peace by Gov. Oilman of
New Hampshire. Sept. 27, 1810, together with his wife and three oldest chil-
dren, he made a public profession of religion and united with the church. His
other six children, one an infant, were baptized the same day. Dr. Cogswell,
some twenty years later, died at the age of seventy years. On the funeral
occasion Rev. John Kelley, of Hampstead, N. H., preached a sermon, which
was published, the text being, "Wise men die " Ps. xlix. 10. It has been
said of Dr Cogswell, " He advanced the doctrine of God his Saviour by his
life and conversation. In his religious faith he was decidedly evangelical. His
last days were happy in the enjoyment of his Redeemer, and at his departure
he seemed sweetly to sleep in Jesus."
Dr. William Cogswell, in his early career, was approved, July 19, 1781, Surgeon's Mate in
the Military Hospital, with Gov. Eustis, at West Point. John Cochran, Director-General,
certifies "that he discharged his duties with great faithfulness, intelligence, and uncommon
assiduity, by which means he has improved much in medical skill and has given universal sat-
isfaction to those gentlemen of the department with whom he has been associated." Jan. 5,
1784, he was promoted to the chief charge of the hospital.
Mrs. Judith (Badger) Cogswell, wife of Dr. William Cogswell, survived to the ninety-
fourth year of her age. The united ages of Mrs. Cogswell and her mother, Mrs. Hannah
Badger, would amount to one hundred and eighty-eight years, or one tenth of the whole
Christian era. It was said of Mrs. Cogswell, " Her life was one of singular equanimity and
devotion to a single object, the doing her duty in the sphere in which God placed her ; and
well she fulfilled her mission." The sermon preached at her funeral, Oct. 3, 1859, by the
Rev. Jesse Page, was published.

Joseph Cogswell, the youngest son of Nathaniel Cogswell, served, when
a mere lad, in the army of the Revolution. He studied medicine with his
brother, Dr. William Cogswell, and was Assistant Surgeon at West Point. Dr.
Joseph Cogswell, in 1787, established himself in the practice of medicine in
Warner, N. H. He was married soon after. In 1789 he became a Christian
and united with the Congregational Church in that town. Dr. and Mrs. Cogs-
well the ne.xt year, 1790, removed to Durham, N. H., where they remained
until 1797, when they removed to Tamworth, N. H., where Dr. Cogswell lived
and practised medicine for upwards of fifty years. He died at the age of
eiglity-seven years, and in the sixty-second of his married life. He was the
last survivor of his father's family.

Adam Cogswell was a ship-master, and known as Capt. Cogswell. He was a skilled naviga-
tor. He owned an estate in Newburyport, Mass., where his children were born. He removed,
about 1774, to Benjamin River, now Sedgwick, Me. He was the second man to settle in that
place. Capt. Cogswell was a man of great force of will and capacity. His life was spent
mostly upon the water. It is said he had never lost a man at sea, when, right before his own
eyes, his only son was washed overboard in a gale and perished. This cast a gloom over the
remainder of his life.
Pompey was the name of a colored servant who belonged to Capt. Cogswell. An anec-
dote is told of this Pompey. He had heard prayers at church for persons in distress or
exposed to danger on the ocean. On one occasion he asked Massa Adam, son of Capt. Adam,
to write a note for liim, which he did. It ran thus : " Pompey, servant of Capt. Cogswell,
being about to go to a strange land, requests the prayers of this congregation, that he may
get safe home to Africa." Capt. Cogswell, quite to his amazement, having had no previous
knowledge of it, heard the note read in church. After service, with great show of sternness,
he demanded of Pompey an explanation. Pompey said : " Massa Adam did it." But Adam,
then a mere lad, being called upon, said: "Pompey told me to." They were finally let off,
upon promise of right behavior in the future.
Miss Abigail A. Hawes, of Castine, Me., granddaughter of Capt. Cogswell, has an auto-
graph letter written by Abraham Burnham to his sister, Mrs. Sarah Cogswell, Castine, Me.,

THE COGSWELLS IN NOVA SCOTIA.
I761-1884.
HEZEKIAH COGSWELL.
Hezekiah Cogswell and his family were the first of the name of
Cogswell who settled in the Royal Province of New Scotland.
The early history of Nova Scotia, called by the French, Acadie, from a
native Indian term denoting local abundance, is replete with stirring and
romantic episodes. Both British and American authors have found in it
material for narrative and poetry, and the more its records are studied the
deeper is the interest attached to them. From a geographical point of
view, the situation of the Province has many natural advantages, and its
mineral wealth, when properly developed, must secure for it a great future.
Until the end of the last century it included the Province of New Bruns-
I 12
wick, rich in forest and rivers, but even in its curtailed proportions it adds
to its mineral resources many productive fields for the agriculturist ; and it
was in the richest of these, near the Bay of Fundy, that the drama was
enacted in which the French Acadians made way for the New England
Puritans. Sympathy with the expatriated is always strong under any cir-
cumstances, but the American poet, Longfellow, has, by his genius, shed a
warm glow of sentiment over the banished Acadians, which blinds the reader
to the real facts of the situation. It must be borne in mind that Nova
Scotia was for years a battle-field for the arms and diplomacy of Great Britain
and France. To Britain, through the agency of the Cabots, belongs the
credit of the discovery of the Province, for Columbus had only explored in
the Gulf of Mexico. The Gilberts followed with actual residence ; and on
this fact, mainly, perhaps, depended the claims for possession made by Great
Britain. But the brave and enterprising French, under the energetic guidance
of De la Roche and De Monto, and with a power of assimilation, so to speak,
which was not visible in their subsequent efforts at colonization, soon made
Acadia a French province, and they established themselves in the rest of
Eastern Canada with a tenacity such as to secure the retention of their indi-
viduality in the Dominion to this day. By the treaty of Germains, Nova Scotia
was formally ceded to France, although prior to that date special efforts had
been made, initiated by King James I., to convert the country into a New Scot-
land, corresponding to t?ie New England, which was already realizing the
hopes that had attended its first settlement.
The student of history finds himself wondering how any progress was pos-
sible in Provinces which changed hands so frequently to meet the exigencies of
European statesmen. The conditions of life must have been at times abso-
lutely bewildering, and anything like settled loyalty must have been more than
difficult. At one time a treaty, at another time a conquest, led to change of
ownership. Nova Scotia was retaken by the English under secret instructions
from Cromwell, but the treaty of Breda, in 1667, between Charles the Second
and Louis the Fourteenth, restored it again to France. From this time, how-
ever, the energy of the British colonists and the apathy of the French gov-
ernment portended the ultimate predominance of the former race, and the cap-
ture of Port Royal (afterwards called Annapolis Royal) by the Massachusetts
force, in 17 10, paved the way for the cession of the Province to the British
crown under the treaty of Utrecht, in 17 13. A troubled career was before it
until 1749, little real colonization being effected ; and in that year a large part
of the Province known now as Cape Breton was, in a miserable spirit of com-
promise, ceded again to France. For the next six years every effort was made
to develop the resources of the Province and to make it a thoroughly British
colony, but in vain. The French residents, simple and industrious though
they were, were compelled by external agencies to live in an atmosphere of
intrigue. They assisted to keep the Indians in a state of agitation ; they car-
ried on a mistrusted correspondence with their countrymen in the Province
known then as Canada, and now as Quebec. The strengthening of Louisbourg
1^3
in the French colony of Cape Breton seemed to be aggressive, and the disas-
ters to the British troops under Gen. Braddock increased the plotting against
British rule among the French settlers. There are times with nations, as with
individuals, when drastic remedies have to be employed, and when an urgency
exists which cannot wait for the ordinary movements of the law, when, in a
word, weapons for ifnmediaie e.K&ct are called into action, irrespective of their
rudeness and harshness. No one can do other than deplore the sufferings
which attended the expatriation of the French Acadians, but their removal
had become a political necessity. The act was performed with all possible
humanity by Col. Winslow, a native of New England, who commanded the
forces charged with the unpleasant duty. Col. Winslow himself said that the
work was " contrary to his make and temper," and was not likely to aggravate
the sufferings of the unhappy people.
Some descendants of the French Acadians remain in the Province, living in
secluded villages, retaining their separate language and customs, and holding
little intercourse with the British inhabitants, yet it may be questioned whether,
nationally regarded, not only they, but all the so-called French Canadians,
are not really more British than French ; for their ancestors are reputed to
have come from Brittany and Normandy. Jacques Cartier. the first European
voyager who set foot in Canada, was a native of Brittany. Brittany was col-
onized from Wales ; its French name is Bretagne, the same as for Britain,
while both its current English name and that of its people are but variations
of Britain and Briton. The intimate blood relationship between the Normans,
also, and the English, requires no words of explanation. If, then, there be rea-
son to believe that no actual difference exists except in language, between the
French Canadians and their British compatriots, it may be worth while for the
former to consider whether they would not do wisely to give up this one
acquired peculiarity, and so identify themselves in all respects with their
neighbors speaking the English tongue.
The vacant places in Acadia were soon filled. New England, whose vig-
orous sons took so prominent a part in all the battles of Great Britain on the
American continent, stepped into the vacant farms, and among her pioneers in
New Scotland, came from Connecticut in 1761, Hezekiah Cogswell.
Our earliest authority in print for the statements in the foregoing sketch is
"• Haliburton's History of Nova Scotia." This work was received with special
and official favor by the Legislative Assembly, and is worthy of the author,
who on other and humorous fields earned the sobriquet of " Sam Slick." It is
in two volumes, published in 1829. The first volume is occupied with a
general history of the Province, and the second contains an account of its
arrangement in divisions, counties, districts, and townships, and the manner in
which they became settled with inhabitants. The settlers were invariably of
the respectable classes, and their descendants have no reason to fear a compar-
ison with the population of any other country as regards their origin. No con-
vict under sentence has ever been known to cross their borders, except, strange
to say, outward-bound. An amusing instance of this was recently given in a
114
Halifax paper. A man named Paterson was convicted of forgery, and trans-
ported to England by order of Judge (afterwards Sir Brenton) Halliburton, with
a threat of capital, or some other severe punishment, if he should ever return
to Nova Scotia.
A more elaborate work in three volumes, bearing nearly the same title as
the above, "Murdoch's History of Nova Scotia or Acadie," was published in
1866 It is more a chronicle than a narrative, and seems to have been
intended by its author to serve as a book of reference to future historians.
From its pages we learn that in 1758 a proclamation was issued by the Pro-
vincial government, setting forth the great extent and value of the lands
vacated by the French, and inviting those who might desire to settle on them
to apply to " Mr. Hancock, at Boston, or the Messrs. Delancie and Watts, at
New York." Applicants were informed that the land was to be divided into
townships of one hundred thousand acres, or about twelve square miles, and
to insure a considerable residerit population, it was resolved that no one person
should receive a grant exceeding one thousand acres.
In April, 1759, four delegates from Connecticut and one from Rhode
Island came to Halifax to negotiate the terms of settlement. They were
Major Dennison, Messrs. Jonathan Harris, Joseph Otis, and James Fuller,
from Connecticut, and Mr. John Hicks, from Rhode Island. In the month
following their arrival the seal of the Province was attached to deeds convey-
ing grants in the townships of Horton and Cornwallis to the Connecticut del-
egates Mr. John Hicks, the delegate from Rhode Island, and Mr. Amos
Fuller desired that lands should be reserved for them and their constituents at
Windsor. From information contributed very kindly by Barclay Webster,
Esq., barrister at law at Kentville, Nova Scotia, it appears that by a deed bear-
ing date July 21, 1761, some lands in the township of Cornwallis were assigned
to a number of persons, among whom appears the name of " Hezekiah Cogs-
hall," for one share and a half of the original allotment. The spelling of the
surname is remarkable. If it was not the mode then prevailing in Connecti-
cut, it is an evidence of the same carelessness or indifference to what was then
probably considered a trivial matter, which is to be found in the pedigrees in
England of members of the De Coggeshall family. Tradition speaks of three
founders of the new population as being remarkable for stature and physical
strength. Mason Cosgwell, son of Hezekiah Cogswell, who is referred to above,
was one of the three. It is mentioned as an instance of his strength that he
could lift a barrel of cider at arm's length, bring it to his lips, and drink out of
the bung hole. Had physical sports been encouraged in those days, this
same strength would doubtless have found other opportunities of display,
but the spirit of the Puritans was opposed to athletic exercises, as both frivo-
lous and involving a sinful waste of time. They forgot that they themselves
had rejoiced in no less a gymnasium than a new continent ; that in it they had
not merely to wrestle with the sturdy trees of the " forest primeval," but with
armed men, contesting for no less a prize than the rod of empire. In the
peaceful days that now followed, when the hard work was no longer necessary
115
which used to develop the muscle and induce vigorous health, evils accrued
which alarmed those acquainted with sanitary science. To them it was clear
that the monotony of daily labor, without wholesome recreation, and especially
when the scene was transferred from the open field to the "store," counting-
house, and office, was seriously affecting the public health, both physical and
moral. To remedy this, a systematic return to the athletic games of the old
countries was sucessfuUy recommended some quarter of a century ago, and
now the bat, the oar of the amateur, and the volunteer's rifle are familiar among
not only the youthful, but the adult population of New Scotland.

Hezekiah Cogswell settled in Lebanon, Conn, The record of the First
Church in that town shows that Hezekiah owned the Covenant, Jan. 2, 1732.
He received a conveyance of land Nov. 6, 1731, from his parents, and made
purchase of other land, May 19, 1732, in Hebron, Conn., where, from mention
made, it appears he resided in 1758. In 1761 Mr. Cogswell with his family
emigrated to Nova Scotia. The youngest child was perhaps ten years of age
ii6
when they embarked for New Scotland. Some of their children did not
accompany their parents, and two or three went to return. It is said that their
daughter Ann [474], with her sister Diademia [475], did not leave the ship,
but came back to New England on the return of the vessel. There appears
on the records of Lebanon, Conn., " Eliphalet Cogswell, hapt. Dec. 15, 1734;
Samuel bapt. Nov. 22, 1741," who may have been the children of Hezekiah
Cogswell. The following incident is narrated: "When Hezekiah Cogswell
and family were about to embark for Nova Scotia in 1761, the grandmother felt
unwilling to lose her little pet, the 3'oungest boy, and so hid him away and told
him to ' lie still and make no noise.' Search was made in all directions for the
little fellow in vain, and the grandmother refused to give him up. But when
the ship could wait no longer, the troubled father called aloud, ' JVIason,' at
which the child, unused to disobdience, answered, 'Sir.' This of course dis-
covered his whereabouts, and he was taken on board, much to the discomfiture
and grief of his doting grandmother." Mr. Cogswell became an elder in the
Presbyterian Church in Coinwallis, N. S., and continued to occupy an elder's
seat in church until age and distance prevented his attendance on public wor-
ship. He was fond of reading religious books. Flavel was his favorite author.
Mr. Cogswell lived to such extreme age, ninety-seven years, that he could
not distinguish an apple from a potato, and did not recognize his own children.
Mrs. Cogswell survived her husband, and died at the age of about ninety
years. She has been characterized as a strong-minded woman, and it has been
said that " She held the purse-strings and ruled her house in all that a woman
might."

The township of Cornwallis, Nova Scotia, "containing in the whole one hundred thou-
sand acres, more or less," was granted, July 21, i76i,to proprietors, chiefly from Connecticut.
After the expulsion of the French, in 1755, and during the last year of the reign of George II.,
1760, colonists were invited by royal proclamation to come and possess the land. Each pro-
prietor was entitled to a right for himself and a half-right for his family. Each right consisted
of a town lot of three acres, a farm lot of forty acres, and seven hundred acres of wilderness
land. The following are the names of the colonists copied from the Grant now on file in Corn-

James Cogswell was the youngest of his father's family. He was about
four years old when his parents removed, 1724, from Saybrook to Lebanon,
Conn. He experienced religion when a lad of fifteen years, and was received
to the church in Lebanon, Dec. 29, 1735- -^^ ^^e age of twenty-two years he
graduated from Yale College, in the class of 1742. After completing his
theological studies he was ordained and installed, Dec. 28, 1744. the pastor of
the church in Canterbury, Conn After a ministry of twenty-seven years he
resigned, Nov. 5, 1771, and soon after, Feb. 19, 1772, was installed the pastor
of the church in Scotland Parish, Windham, Conn., where he fulfilled a min-
istry of thirty-three years, and resigned in 1804. Thus his active ministerial
service covered a period of sixty years, and at the age of eighty-four years
he retired from public labor in the gospel, and made his home with the only
survivor of his family of five children. Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell, of Hart-
ford, Conn. Rev. Dr. Cogswell survived but a few years. His death occurred
Jan. 2, 1807. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Nathan Strong, D. D.,
and he was buried in the North Burying Ground, of Hartford, Conn. The
spot is marked by a fitting monument to his memory.
Rev. Dr. Cogswell had a long, laborious, and useful ministry. His life was
one of many and great afflictions; his ministry doubtless had its shady side,
and his old age had its infirmities, but he kept the faith, was a faithful minister
of Jesus Christ, and attained unto his crown of heavenly reward. Dr. Cogs-
well has been described thus : " A good logician and a graceful speaker, mod-
erate in his own opinions, tolerant of those of others, mild in temper, and
affable in manner, dignified in the pulpit, and conciliatory in private. His
pulpit abilities, combined with kindliness of temper and genial manners, won
popular favor." He was a well-read student and a teacher of theology. He
was called by contemporaries, " The big theologian," and students for the min-
istry resorted to him for instruction. Among his pupils were Josiah Whitney,
afterwards pastor of Brooklyn Parish, and Naphtali Daggett, subsequently the
President of Yale College
Rev. Dr. Cogswell was called to preach on special occasions. When, for
example, April 19, 1783, Washington announced the cessation of hostilities, a
public service was held in the meeting-house on Windham Green, he was des-
ignated to preach the sermon, which was widely commended. Among his pub-
lished sermons were an election sermon, preached in 177 1, a sermon on the
death of Rev. Solomon Williams, D. D., March 4, 1776, in Lebanon, Conn.,
and a sermon at the funeral of Rev. Samuel Moseley, pastor of Hampton,
Conn., in 1791.
He received the degree of D. D. from Yale College in 1790, and held a
prominence among the leading divines of his day. Dr. Cogswell's home was
always the centre of much literary and social culture. His first wife, Mrs.
Alice Cogswell, belonged to one of the most cultured families in the State, the
Fitch family. His second wife, Mrs. Martha Cogswell, was the widow of
119,
Rev. Ebenezer Devotion, who had preceded him in the pastorate of Scotland
Parish. Her daughter became the wife of Hon. Samuel Huntington, who, in
1784, was made Chief Justice of the State of Connecticut, and in 1786 chosen
Governor, being re-elected each year until his death. Dr. Cogswell's sons and
Mrs. Cogswell's daughters were all highly educated and accomplished, so that
the Scotland parsonage was the centre of much social attraction. Among
the celebrities who were frequent visitors were Gen. Putnam, of Revolutionary
fame. Gov. Huntington and his brilliant brothers, and others prominent in the
State and country.
Dr. Cogswell experienced heavy bereavements in his family. Soon after
his settlement in Scotland Parish, his wife^ Mrs. Alice Cogswell, died, and a
few weeks later his only daughter, at the age of twenty-three years, and spoken
of as " a young lady highly educated and accomplished in the useful as well as
ornamental parts of female learning," and there was engraved this inscription
to her memory : " She departed this vain and transitory life in firm hope of a
glorious immortality." Then followed, soon after, the death of his little son,
Septimus, and not long after his second marriage, the death of Mrs. Martha
Cogswell's youngest daughter, Betsey Devotion, a very beautiful and interesting
young lady. Her death occurred suddenly in March, 1775. In 1785 his son,
Samuel Cogswell, a young lawyer of great promise, was accidentally shot dead.
In 1792 his oldest son. Dr. James Cogswell, of New York, died from disease
contracted by fidelity in his profession. Then, in 1795, his second wife died
suddenly of paralysis, and so his life seemed to be filled with personal bereave-
ments. And, added to all, in his later years of gospel ministrations there
arose some differences between him and his parish. His salary was poorly
paid and his people dissatisfied, showing that '* length of days " was not alto-
gether desirable when one was settled in the pastorate for life. In his old age
there was provided for him a most delightful home in the family of his son in
Hartford, a seeming compensation to him for the provision he had made for
his own aged parents many years before, at his home in Canterbury, Conn.
In his last illness Rev. Dr. Cogswell seemed to lose all knowledge even of
his nearest friends. He forgot, indeed, his own name. When asked if he
remembered his son. Mason Fitch, he replied : " I do not recollect that I ever
had a son." But when asked whether he remembered the Lord Jesus Christ,
he replied at once by exclaiming, " Oh, yes; I do remember Hhn ! He is my
Lord and Redeemer ! "
It is said that Mrs. Sigourney has touchingly described the scene of Rev.
Dr. Cogswell's death-bed.
Some incidents are told of Rev. Dr. Cogswell. On one occasion he publicly protested
against sending a certain man, Zephaniah Swift, as deputy to the General Assembly of the
State, declaring himself " grieved and displeased that men should have so little regard for
religion as to choose a man for deputy who has none." At the time of the death of his adopted
daughter, Miss Betsev Devotion, it is narrated that " The bereaved parents, greatly overcome
I20
by the shock, were persuaded by sympathizing friends to indulge in the soothing stimulus of a
cup of tea. Their delinquency was soon made public, and Dr. Cogswell was informed that
they would be reported to the Committee of Inspection. He immediately waited upon that
body, and, by a certificate from his physician to the effect that the cup of tea had been taken
as a medical prescription, was able to satisfy these olficials. But the general public was not
so easily appeased. Aggrieved patriots continued to express their resentment by open
remonstrance and by staying at home from church service. Doughty old farmers rode over
from Pudding Hill with rebuke and grumble, and sharp-tongued good-wives did not hesitate
to assure their minister that the public would not be satisfied without a confession and apology
from the pulpit. Some insisted that his name and offence should be published in the ' Nor-
wich Packet ' and ' New London Gazette.' Dr. Cogswell, always nervously sensitive to the
public opinion, was greatly annoyed and distressed by these manifestations of displeasure on
the part of the people. But to relieve matters, providentially, soon came the news of the bat-
tle at Lexington, which swept away all minor excitements."
In Dr. Cogswell's diary, under date of July 2, 1788, record is made of a most terrific and
devastating thunder and hail storm : " A black cloud seemed to settle down upon Westmin-
ster Parish, and the hailstones fell to the depth of nineteen inches."

Edward Cogswell was a drummer in the old French and Indian War.
He went to the northward and suffered great privations and hardships, nearly
losing the use of his right hand. In the leisure of the camp he decorated a
powder-horn very beautifully with engravings cut with a penknife. This powder-
horn is a rare curiosity. It is in the possession of Dr. Niram J.^ Cogswell
[1720], of Silvara, Pa., who is the great-grandson of Edward Cogswell. This
curious relic is finely decorated with various quaint figures, and inscribed on one
side as follows :

ELBRIDGE GERRY ROBINSON, ESQ.
Elbridge Gerry Robinson married a daughter of Nathaniel and Mrs. Polly (Harding)
Frothingham, nee Whipple. She was born Jan. 2, 1810, in Salem, Mass. Mr. Robinson
learned the trade of carriage painter, which he pursued in Concord, afterwards in Salem, and
subsequently in Dedham, Mass. He was a frequent contributor to the local newspapers in
Dedham. He was an earnest temperance advocate, and wrote many temperance tales and
sketches, besides other miscellaneous articles for the weekly press. In 1837 Mr. Robinson
purchased the Dedham Advertiser, and published it under that name for two years. He then,
in 1839, called it the Norfolk Democrat, and made it a political newspaper. In 1848 he, with
many others, joined the Free-Soilers. He was a decided friend of the reforms of the day.
He advocated their claims with ability and zeal, determined, at whatever cost of patronage
and popularity, to do his work of love for fallen humanity. His weekly paper was valued
and popular with those of kindred sei]timents. " He was a man of strict integrity, and faith-
ful in all the relations of life." For years he was a patient and cheerful sufferer from bodily
disease : but his confidence in, and reliance upon the goodness of God sustained him won-
derfully in his severe sufferings. Tried by the following standard, Mr. Robinson was a rich
man. " The wealth of a man is the number of things he loves and blesses, the number of
things he is loved and blessed by." He died July 1 1, 1854, in Dedham, Mass. Many obituary
notices appeared in the papers of the time, expressing the high esteem in which he was held.
Mrs. Robinson resided, 1S83, No. 23 Church Street, Salem, Mass. They had four children,
viz.: Mary Frothingham, b. March 13, 1S3S ; a son, b. Feb. 15, d. Feb. 16, 1842; Nathaniel
Frothingham; and Martha Elizabeth, b. Nov. 25, 1S46, d. Sept. 28, 1848.
iVathanh'l Frothingham Robinson was born Oct. 29, 1843, and died May 20, 1865, in Salem,
Mass. At an early age he enlisted in the army to serve his country. He was a Corporal in
the Salem Light Infantry, which formed a part of the Fiftieth Massachusetts Regiment, and
was connected with the Banks E.xpedition. Young Robinson was at the siege of Port Hudson,
and served with great credit to the end of his enlistment. But by the exposure and hardships
of the campaign he contracted the fatal disease of consumption, and died soon after his return
home. Although so young and promising, he met death with the same tranquil and submis-
sive spirit that had pervaded his blameless life.
WILLIAM STEVENS ROBINSON, ESQ.
William Stevens Robinson was a journalist, widely and favorably known as " War-
rington." Mr. Robinson was by trade a printer, but early betrayed much ability as a writer.
He was associated somewhat with the editorship of several newspapers for a period of thirty
years, and won an honorable reputation as a newspaper correspondent. Mr. Robinson was a
member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1852-53, and its Clerk for ten years
next succeeding 1862. He was a vigorous writer, an ardent advocate of human freedom, and
a stanch friend of the laboring people. He was the editor of the Yeoman's Gazette, the Boston
Daily Whig, and the Boston Republican; and he founded, in 1849, the Lowell American, one
of the first Free Soil and anti-slavery newspapers in the State. He wrote letters and articles
for many Boston newspapers, for the New York Tribune, the Evening Post, and many of the
other leading newspapers in the country. For twenty years he wrote for the .Springfield
Republican, and it was through his letters to this newspaper that he became known as the
renowned " war correspondent," and made famous his )iom de plume of " Warrington." His
published works are "Warrington's Manual of Parliamentary Law" and "The Salary Grab."
140
His wife was Harriet Jane Hanson, a " Lowell Factory Girl," of those early days of New
England cotton mills, when the operatives were New England born and from the best country
homes. Miss Hanson was the daughter of William and Harriet (Brown) Hanson, and was
born Feb. S, 1825, in Boston, Mass. She was a writer for the Lowell (Offering, and in later
years wrote much for jjublication. She used her voice as well as her pen, and stood among
the foremost of earnest and able advocates of Woman's Rights. After Mr. Robinson's death,
which occurred on the second anniversary of Charles Sumner's death, Mrs. Robinson gathered
up his various writings, and with an appropriate memoir of her gifted husband, published a
book under the title of "Pen Portr.vits." She published also a volume called "Massachu-
setts IN THE Woman Sukerage Movement." Her brain and pen were, in 1883, still busy
in preparing articles and books for the press. She resided in Maiden, Mass. Mr. and Mrs.
Robinson had four children, which were : Ilarriette Lucy, b. Dec. 4, 1850; m. June 11, 1878,
.Sidney Doane Shattuck. Elizabeth Osborne, b. Sept. 11, 1852. William Elbridge, b. Oct. 6,

He was the son of John and Sally (Oetchcl) Hanson, one of eleven children. He married
Harriet Brown in 1822. He was a carpenter, and worked for Peter Cudworth in Boston.
His shop stood on Merrimac Street, near Causeway. He died in early manhood.
Jifrs. Har7-ii't (Bnnvn) Hanson, mother of Mrs. Robinson, was born March 19, 1795, ''''
Roxbury, Mass., at "The Punch Bowl Tavern," which her father kept, and died at Maiden,
Mass., Jan. 21, 1881, aged eighty-five years. She was daughter of Seth Ingersoll Brown,
who assisted in making a large cup of tea in Boston Harbor prior to the Revolution. He
was a non-commissioned Captain of minute-men and fought under Cen. Joseph Warren at
Bunker Hill. He was buried in the "Granary Burving-Ground " on Tremont Street, between
Park Street Church and the Tremont House, Boston, where lie buried many famous men of
the earlier days, among whom are eight chief magistrates of Massachusetts, viz. : Govs.
Dummer, Hancock, Adams, Bowdoin, Sullivan, Eustis, and Sumner. Where also are the
graves of Peter Faneuil, Dr. John Jeffries, Judge Samuel Sewall, John Hall, Paul Revere,
Lieut.-Gov. Thomas Gushing, Belknap, Lathrop, and Josiah and Mrs. (Folger) Franklin, the

Jonathan Cogswell was the youngest of fourteen children. His father,
Dr. Nathaniel Cogswell, was a man of superior education and acquirements, a
model of the most remarkable integrity, and of the purest character. He
received from his pious and devoted mother early religious instruction, and at
the age of seventeen years became a Christian. Soon after his conversion,
he received what was to him a most unmistakable call to preach the Gospel,
and accordingly set himself to obey the divine bidding. It is said that his
father was not favorably inclined to his son's purpose to enter the ministry ; he
labored to dissuade him, and even refused to render him pecuniary assistance
in his preparatory course of study. But so strong were his son's convictions
of duty that he waived all opposing considerations, and without delay entered
upon his studies. In the spring of 1803 he was admitted to Harvard College,
and graduated in 1806, among the first scholars of his class. Prof. Joseph
Green Cogswell, LL. D. [350], a distant cousin, was a member of the same
class. Mr. Cogswell, still intent on his early purpose to enter the ministry,
at once engaged in teaching, to obtain the means to prosecute his theologi-
cal studies. For two years, 1807-9, h^ ^^^ under appointment as Tutor in
Bowdoin College, meanwhile pursuing somewhat the study of Theology. Sub-
sequently he was at Andover Theological Seminary for one year, associated
with the first class that graduated from that institution, in 1810. Among the
members of that class, and associated with it, were such men as Rev. Adoni-
ram Judson, D. D., Rev. Samuel Newell, Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D. D., and
Rev. Gardner Spring, D. D., LL D. Mr. Cogswell about this time received
several most flattering offers to take charge of prominent literary institutions,
but refusing them, he obtained license to preach and having received an invita-
tion to settle, Oct. 24, 1810, was ordained to the Gospel Ministry, and installed
pastor, being the fourth pastor, of the Congregationalist Church in Saco, Me.
The installation sermon was preached by Rev. Paul Coffin, D. D., and was
published. The following May, 181 1, he married Miss Elizabeth Abbott,
the niece of Samuel Abbott, Esq., who had been to her as a father since
the death of her parents. Samuel Abbott, Esq., gave to Andover Theological
Seminary one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and became the founder
of the Abbott Professorship in that institution. As illustrating Mr. Cosgwell's
spirit of consecration to Christ's service, it should perhaps receive mention
that it was his cherished desire to labor as a missionary in Western New York,
and he was actually on his way thither, when he received an invitation to
preach in Saco, which was so clearly providential that he felt bound to accept
it. He was settled, and for eighteen years labored there with great fidelity
and marked success, until his multiplied and long-continued service resulted in
such physical and mental exhaustion that his physician assured him he must
discontinue preaching or he could not live. He at once resigned, Oct. 16,
1828, and removed to New York City, where he spent the winter. The April
following he accepted an invitation to a new pastorate, and Aug. 28, 1829.
152
was installed over the church in New Britain Parish, Berlin, Conn., where he
remained until he was called, June 21, 1834, to the Chair of Ecclesiastical
History in the Theological Institute of Connecticut, at East Windsor Hill.
He was inaugurated Professor of Church History in that Institution, May 13,
1834 In 1836 he received the degree of S. T. D. from the University of
New York. Mrs. Cogswell died in 1837. Her burial was the first that took
place within the New Cemetery near the Theological Institute of East Windsor
Hill. Of Mrs. Cogswell it was said : " She was an ornament to her sex, the
church and society." An obituary notice printed at the time passes the high-
est encomiums on her life and character
Rev. Prof. Cogswell, D. D., married, Dec. 12, 1837, Miss Kirkpatrick,
daughter of Chief Justice Kirkpatrick, of New Jersey, and granddaughter of
Col. John Bayard, of Bohemia Manor, "Great House," Maryland In 1842
Rev. Dr. Cogswell published "A Volume of Ten Discourses, Intended as a
Keepsake for the Family and Friends." For a full list of his published writ
ings the reader is referred to the heading James Grant Wilson, in the third
volume of Allibone's Dictionary of Authors. Prof. Cogswell continued to fill
the chair of Sacred History in the Theological Institute for ten years. In
1844 he resigned, having been appointed executor of a large estate, which
required his presence in or near the city of New York, and retired from public
life to the city of New Brunswick, N. J., where he resided until his death,
which occurred at the age of about eighty-two years, Aug. i, 1864, only a few
months after the decease of his wife, Mrs. Jane E. Cogswell, who died March
6, 1864. The following obituary notice of Rev. Prof. Jonathan Cogswell, D. D.,
of New Brunswick, N. J., appeared in some public journal soon after his
death :
" With reference to his character as a man, Christian liberality was his
most marked characteristic. In 181 1, when the work of Foreign Missions was
awakening and giving a new direction to the pecuniary resources of the
church of Christ, he gave all the money he had to the cause, some $600 in
silver. Another instance in which this same generous spirit was manifested,
is furnished by his ten years of gratuitous service at East Windsor ; in addition
to which he contributed largely to the Institution, not only in money, but in
books also, giving most of his private library, and many rare old English edi-
tions of valuable works. Since his residence in New Brunswick, there has
been no change in this respect. With the late Dr. Janeway and J. R. Ford,
Esq., he aided in building the present tasteful edifice of the Second Presbyte-
rian Church, contributing a handsome proportion of the entire cost; besides
giving one half the price of the parsonage, a thousand dollars toward the per-
manent support of the minister, and repeated gifts, both to the pastor and
people, up to the time of his decease. He was a Life Director of the Ameri-
can Bible Society, and a Life Member of the American Tract Society, the Sea-
man's Friend Society, the American and Foreign Christian Union, and various
other religious societies. He founded a scholarship, both in Rutgers College
and in the College of New Jersey, and was a regular annual contributor to the
153
various boards of the church of which he was an honored minister. Christian
beneficence marked the wliole course of his long life. As a preacher Dr.
Cogswell was peculiarly zealous for sound doctrine, and fearless in stating and
defending it. His own faith was unwavering, and timidity in expressing what
he believed was unknown to him. His own religious experience was pre-emi-
nently doctrinal and reflective. Nourished by prayer, enriched by meditation,
and invigorated by knowledge, religion was to him a life, and faith an abiding
principle. When memory lost the record of other familiar things, Jesus and
his love remained deeply graven upon her tablet. Great simplicity of charac-
ter imparted a charm and gave tone to the whole tenor of his life. He was
singularly free from that 'labor and sorrow' which mar the strength of the
fourth score of years, and, like the patriarch of old, 'he gave up the ghost
and died in a good old age, an old man and full ' of experiences, of graces,
and of anticipations. He has gone to his reward, and his works do follow
him, while we deplore his loss in these days, when 'the godly man ceaseth,
and the faithful fail from among the children of men.' "

to that place, where her son Parker was educated. He studied medicine and established him-
self, about 1788, in its practice in Chebacco. He resided in the ancient Rust house, where
he was born. It was owned, 1868, by William H. Mears. Dr. Russ was a skilful ]>hysician ;
" integrity, decision, and energy were prominent traits of his character." He died in early
manhood.

JOHN DENISON RUSS, M. D.
John Denison Russ, the only child of Dr. Parker and Elizabeth (Cogswell) Russ, was
born Sept. i, 1801, in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, Mass. His father was a practising physician
and an accomplished classical educator.
His grandmother, Elizabeth (Wise) Cogswell, was the granddaughter of Rev. John Wise,
the first ordained minister of Chebacco Parish, Ipswich. He was the minister who was tried
and imprisoned in Boston, Aug., 1687, for publicly advising his parishioners to resist the col-
lection of a tax imposed by Gov. Sir Edmund Andros. Two years later Andros was arrested
and sent ignominiously back to England.
The mother of Elizabeth (Wise) Cogswell was daughter of Col. John and Mary (Lever-
ett) Denison. Col. John Denison was son of Rev. John and Elizabeth (Saltonstall) Denison,
and the great-grandson of both Gov. Thomas Dudley and Sir Richard Saltonstall. His wife,
Mary (Leverett) Denison, was the daughter of Hon. John Leverett, F. R. S., President of
Harvard College, and great-granddaughter of Sir John Leverett, Governor of Massachusetts,
1673-9. John Denison Russ, in fitting for college, was a classmate of Hon. Rufus Choate
under Dr. Abbott, of Exeter, N. H. He graduated from Yale College in 1823; was called by
his college mates "Duke of Essex." He pursued his medical studies at Bowdoin College and
other medical schools in Baltimore, Boston, and New Haven, and received his medical degree
from Yale College in 1825. He spent a year in Europe, in the hospitals of Paris, London,
Edinburgh, and Dublin, and on his return commenced practice in New York City. Possessing
an ample estate, he gratified his philanthropy by rendering wide medical service without
charge. His sympathy for human suffering became a religious passion.
Dr. Russ, in 1827, took an active part in aid of the Greeks, in their desperate struggle for
liberty against the Turks. He took charge of the brig " Statesman " from Boston, freighted
with medical and other stores, and proceeded to Greece as an almoner to the suffering
patriots. He remained in Greece three years, devoting himself to this work. So serviceable
was Dr. Russ to the Greeks that the Turks placed a price on his head of twenty thousand
piasters. On his return to America he visited Sicily, Italy, Malta, and France. He brought
the first intelligence of the French Revolution of that year to this country. He recommenced
practice in New York City. His residence for some time was a cottage near the site of the
Clarendon Hotel. He never sent a bill to any patient for service. He became interested in
the instruction of the blind. An institution for the blind was incorporated, 1829, in Massa-
chusetts, and one in New York in the spring of 1831. But as yet no blind person had been
taught on this continent, and no one could be obtained who knew how to give them instruc-
tion. And when the humane design was about to be relinquished, Dr. Russ offered his service,
having obtained some idea of such instruction in Europe. He commenced, March 15, 1832, to
instruct three blind boys from the almshouse in New York; May 19 there were six under his
instruction, which was the first attempt of the kind in America. Dr. Russ was invited to go to
Boston and organize the institution for the blind in that city, but declined, and Dr. Howe was
appointed. He was the first to introduce maps with raised surface for the blind. In the
autumn of 1832 he exhibited to the public, in City Hotel, his methods of instructing the blind,
and made another exhibition at Rev. Dr. McMurray's church on Market Street, June 5,
1833. To him is due the honor of establishing the Institution for the Blind in New York.
Dr. Russ assisted, 1843, '" ^^^ organization of the New York Prison Association. He
wrote a verv popular paper on prison discipline, which was mentioned by George Sumner, Esq.,
brother of Hon. Charles Sumner, at the First Prison Congress in Italy, as the ablest work on
that subject since Livingston's famous " Penal Code."
Dr. Russ was interested in the gradual emancipation of the slaves, and wrote a letter to
Hon. Henry Clay, then I'resident of the Colonization Society, stating his plan. He was
elected, 1848, a member of the Board of Education of the city of New York, and was largely
instrumental in the establishment of the New York Juvenile Asylum, of which he was the
efficient superintendent for seven years, until he resigned in 1858. He assisted in founding
several other charitable institutions in New York. In 1850, with the co-operation of his wife
and her daughter, he established the " Russ Female Home."
155
Dr. Russ married, [830, an accomplished English lady, a widow with four children. Mrs.
Russ died April 28, i860. Dr. Russ, after twelve years, married, April, 1872, Miss Elise B.
Birdsell, daughter of James Birdsell, of Ohio, who survived him. He had no children of
his own. Elizabeth Russ, a daughter of his first wife, married, 1858, Hon. Frederic Cogs-
well [622 ].
Dr. Russ, a few years before his death, retired to a picturesque estate on the high, roll-
ing land about two miles from the plains of Pompton, N. J. Here he fitted up a modern,
square, Gothic pointed homestead, known as " Hillside Cottage," a house neither too large
nor too small for the largest measure of comfort, where he gave himself to relieving want,
and to benevolence, his pleasant home being the hospitable resort of the cultured and the
refined, of eminent scholars and well-known philanthropists. His last illness was of about
two weeks' duration and entirely painless. It was the sweet and peaceful going out of a
well-spent life. No sickness could have been more free from suffering, and no death scene
more tranquil. His funeral was just at sunset on Wednesday, March 2, 1881. The imme-
diate friends and neighbors gathered at " Hillside Cottage." The sunset service was beauti-
ful, conducted by Rev. Mr. Grieves. Thursday morning the public funeral service took
place at St. Paul's Chapel, in New York City, Rev. Dr. Mulchahey officiating. In accord-
ance with his own request his remains were taken to Esse.x, Mass., his birthplace, and
deposited in the family vault of the Cogswells, beside those of the father and mother of
the deceased. "Thus with a 'few I'ast words of faith and prayer,' a good man was laid
gently to rest." By the provisions of his will, after the death of his wife his estate goes to
his native town of Essex, to found a Public Library. Various highly eulogistic tributes were
published at the time of Dr. Russ's death. " In the life of an earnest, conscientious philan-
thropist there is peculiar beauty and strength, and when such a life closes at its full maturity,
the silent pressure of its influence remains like a per]:>etual benediction." F/V/. In Memoriam
OF John Denison Russ, M. D., 1801-1881."

HON. OTIS PHILLIPS LORD, LL. D.
Otis Phillips Lord, son of Nathaniel Lord, Esq., was born July 11, 1812, in Ipswich,
Mass. He graduated, 1832, from Amherst College, studied law, and commenced the practice
of his profession in his native town. His abilities soon became known, and his practice
increased rapidly. He removed to Salem, Mass., and became the leading lawyer of Essex
County and a peer of the most prominent lawyers in the Commonwealth. The Superior
Court of Massachusetts was established in 1859, and Mr. Lord received appointment to a
seat on the Bench, with Messrs. Allen, Rockwell, Wilkinson, Brigham, Putnam, Russell,
Vose, Ames, and Morton. It was a matter of common knowledge that while Judge Lord
occupied this position his decisions were rarely overruled by the Law Court, and compara-
tively few exceptions taken to his rulings. Judge Lord received, 1869, the degree of LL. D.
from Amherst College. He was appointed in 1875 by Gov. Gaston a Justice of the Supreme
Judicial Court of Massachusetts, which position he filled with marked ability for several
years, and resigned Dec. 6, 1882.
Hon. Otis P. Lord was quite prominent in the politics of the State. He was often a
member of the Legislature, where he was an acknowledged leader, and in 1854 was elected
Speaker of the House of Representatives. The natural abilities of Judge Lord, combined
with accurate knowledge, quick perception, and remarkable memory, won for him eminence
in his profession, and rendered him a man of commanding influence in the elevated sphere in
which he was called to act. He was one of the most eminent jurists of New England.

Ebeiiczcr Brmuii was a '' minute-man " in 1775, and rode all night with his company from
Sutton, arriving in Concord just as the British were on the retreat for Boston. Afterwards he
was a corporal in Capt Holman's company. In his old age he received a pension, and after

Brown married -I.ydia Cogswell. They had ten children, making the whole number sixteen.
Mr. Brown was a farmer on a large scale ; he owned a saw-mill, and was a dealer in lumber.
At the age of seventy years he is remembered as " an old gentleman fond of company, agree-
able to all comers, having an easy flow of language, and a large amount of anecdote, as well
as old-time hospitality." Mrs. Lydia (Cogswell) Brown, his wife for forty-seven years, looked
well to her household, and took good care of the sixteen children given her to bring uj). She
is spoken of in her later life " as well posted in current events, and had a memory of events
long past. In this she had few equals, and no superiors."
The story is told of Mr. Brown that on one occasion he said to some of his neighbors,
" I will give the minister as many pine slabs from my mill as you will draw at one load."
The proposal was accepted, a large sled constructed, to which were attached forty yokes of
oxen, and they went for the slabs, and actually drew at one load twenty cords to the minis-
ter's door.

IWcmorantia.
James Cogswell and Sarah Haradon were married by Rev. Jonathan French, in Ando-
ver, Mass. They both were members of the Charles Street Baptist Church, Boston, Mass., of
which Rev. Daniel Sharp was the pastor. Mr. Cogswell carried on for many years the busi-
ness of cabinet making. He himself assisted in making the organ that was placed in the
First Baptist Church, in Providence, R. I., which is the oldest Baptist church in America.
The same organ still remains in that church unless it has been removed since 1870. Mr.
Cogswell has been spoken of as " straightforward in all his dealings, and conscientious in every
respect."
James Per/cnis Cogszoell was a young man of mature Christian character and great prom-
ise. His death was thus recorded in a Boston newspaper of 1833 :
" In this city, on Wednesday, Nov. 27, after a short but painful illness, Mr. James P.
Cogswell, in the twenty-fourth year of his age. Mr. Cogswell for several years has been a
member of the church of our Lord Jesus Christ, and has adorned his profession by a well-
ordered life and conversation. Although young, his Christian graces shone with a lustre that
would have become an individual of riper years."

Joseph Green'' Cogswell, {Francis^, Francis'^, yohifi, William'^,

born Sept. 27, 1786, in Ipswich, Mass. He married, April 17, 18(2,
Mary F Gilinan, daughter of Hon. John Taylor and Deborah (Fol-
som) Oilman. She was born, 1786, in Exeter, N. H., where she died
July 16, 1813, at her father's house. Prof. Cogswell died Nov. 26, 1871,
in Cambridge, Mass.
itJiorjvapljicaL
Joseph Green Cogswell had five sisters and one brother. All of whom,
except one sister, Elizabeth Cogswell [ 347 J, died in early life. He attended
school in Ipswich until fourteen years old ; then went a single term to Atkin-
son Academy, and completed his preparation for college at Phillips Academy,
Exeter, N. H. He graduated in 1806 from Harvard College. Rev. Jonathan
Cogswell, D. D. [289], was of the same class. He studied law partly with
Hon. Fisher Ames, of Dedham, and partly with Judge Prescott, the father of
the historian, in Boston, Mass.
Before completing his legal studies he made two voyages abroad, one to
the East Indies, the other to the Mediterranean, visiting the port of Algiers,
arriving home from his second voyage Jan., 181 1. Having been admitted to
the bar, he married Miss Mary F. Gihnan, the third daughter of Hon. John
Taylor Oilman, Governor of New Hampshire. Mr. Cogswell, with his young
bride, went to reside in Belfast, Me., where they arrived July 16, 18 12. He
opened a law office, and commenced the practice of his profession \ but the
climate was too severe for Mrs. Cogswell, who, after a few months, returned
to Exeter, where she continued to fail in health until she died, July 16, 18 13.
Soon after, Mr. Cogswell was called to a Latin tutorship in Harvard College,
gave up the practice of law, removed to Cambridge, Mass., and taught in the
college for two years.
177
In 1815 he sailed again for Europe, his companions in travel being George
Ticknor and Edward Everett. He remained abroad, travelling widely, for four
or five 3'ears, after which he returned, arriving in Boston Oct. 29, 1820. Dur-
ing his absence, in 18 17, his mother died. Shortly after his return he received
the appointment of Librarian and Professor of Mineralogy and Geology in
Harvard College.
In the autumn of 1823 Mr. Cogswell and Mr. George Bancroft, since
known as a historian, established a school for the more thorough teaching of
boys. This school was located at Round Hill, Northampton, Mass. It became
incorporated as the "Round Hill Institution." In 1823 Mr. Cogswell was the
sole Principal. The enterprise became involved, and after an existence of some
ten years was abandoned in 1834. Mr. Cogswell accepted an appointment to
take charge of a school in Raleigh, N. C, in May, 1834, where he remained
until 1837. ^^ then sailed the fifth time for Europe, and upon his return,
in 1838, he took up his residence in New York, and became the confidential
adviser of Mr. John Jacob Astor in establishing the Astor Library. To this
enterprise he became entirely devoted, making several trips to Europe for the
purchase of books and to examine European libraries.
After the death of Mr. Astor, in 1848, Mr. Cogswell received the appoint-
ment of Superintendent of the Astor Library. This position he continued to
fill until 1861, when he named a successor, and retired to Cambridge, Mass.
He there spent the evening of his days in the quiet of his own home, near to
the college he so much loved. In his later years he received the care and
affectionate attentions of Rev. and Mrs. Haskins, who were family relatives,
Mrs. Haskins being a niece of his lamented wife, of whom he was bereft when
their married life had hardly begun. Mr. Cogswell, while living in Cambridge,
made an occasional trip to New York, to visit the Astor Library and his numer-
ous friends. He died at the age of eighty-five years, and was buried in Ipswich,
Mass.
Prof. Cogswell, in the course of his active and useful life, made nine trips to
Europe. He was the real originator of the Astor Library in New York City,
accomplished a great work for Harvard College, and was the prime mover in
establishing and carrying forward the Round Hill School for ten years, where
were educated some of the most eminent and literary men of that period. In
1 83 1 a list of the students at Round Hill was published, and contained two
hundred and ninety-three names.
At the age of eighty-four years Mr. Cogswell remarks : " I have reason for
gratitude to God. I am not sensible of any failure in my mental faculties, or
coldness in my affections. My self-love has not increased, nor my love of
friends diminished. The pleasures of active life are gone, but those of a tran-
quil, contemplative one are all left to me." His death occurred on Sunday,
Nov. 26, 187 1.
An appropriate Memorial Volume of Prof. Joseph Green Cogswell, LL. D.,
was published in 1874 by Miss Anna E. Ticknor, in an edition of two hundred
and twenty-two copies, for private distribution among friends.

Another beautiful life has come to its earthly close;
Another earthly light is fixed as a star in the sky;
Another patient toiler goes home to his long repose;
Another lowly disciple goes up to his seat on high.
The teacher, eager to learn, the master, modest and mild,
Has gone, with his thirsty soul, to the wellspring of perfect truth.
The old man, in whom to the last was seen the warm heart of a child,
Xow drinks with the sons of God, from the fount of immortal vouth.
Farewell I () teacher revered, wise-hearted companion and friend!
Hail ! truly chcxsen of God to be one of the shining band,
Who summon us by their lives to be faithful unto the end,

head high, nose Grecian, mouth small, eyes blue, complexion fair, form full
and well proportioned, and her voice peculiarly melodious." She was gen-
erously endowed intellectually, and possessed of a benevolent heart. She
appreciated and greatly admired the works of Addison, Scott. Goldsmith.
Cowper, and Beattie. One of Mrs. Upham's gifted sons has embalmed lier
features and personal grace in the following lines :
"Now oft in solitude^s creative hour
When thought and feeling owtt a quickened poiuer,
I sit in pensive silence and retrace
Each well-known feature, each attractive grace ;
Her silent grief when those she loved went zarong,
Her smile, her kindly words, her voice of song.
All else may fail, all other Joys may die
And leave the fount of hope and feeling dry ;
But life nor death shall from my bosom tear
A mother's looks, her kindness, and her care."

1612, in Kent, England. Mrs. Hannah Upham died Aug. 4, 1797. Mention is made of her
as a person of "great phvsical and mental activity." Her tastes were refined, her disposition
gentle, and her piety fervent. \ simple stone marks her final restiag-place, which bears this
inscription :
"HANNAH,
Consort of the REV. TIMOTHY UPHAM,
Who departed this life Aug. 4, 1797,
In the 44th Year of her Age."
"If truth, love, virtue, eacli attractive grace
That warms the Jieart, or animates the face.
If tears, or sighs, or ardent prayers could save
The kind, the generous from the silent grave,
Then death, 7-elentless, must have lost his prey.
And with it lost his cruel power to slay
One who shall rise and shine in realms above.
Forever happy in her Sa7>iour\'; love.'''' E. C. W.

Moses P. Cogswell [ 791 ] was for some years a merchant in Boston, Mass. He shipped
tor California in 1849, and died soon after his arri\al. His deatli was noticed in the following
obituary, published in 1830:
"At Falksville, Cal., Feb. 1 5th all., Mr. Moses P. Cogswell, of the firm of Rand & Cogs-
well, Boston, aged twenty-seven years, son of Amos Cogswell, Esq., late of Canterbury, N. H.
In March, 1849, yomig Cogswell left Boston in a company of twenty-si.x, known by the name
of the ' Ro.xbury Sagamore Company,' in the ship ' Sweden.' In five months and three davs
they landed in San Francisco. Young Cogswell was the only one on board who did not suffer
by sickness on his way out. Soon after his arrival he was taken with dvsentery and fever,
from which he never recovered. In the bloom of youth, far from those loved ones who were
bound to him by all the endearing ties of nature, he has been consigned to the tomb. He
]}ossessed a warm and generous heart, full of sympathy and affection; warm and ardent in
his friendships, ' none knew him but to love, none named him but to praise.' He said to a
friend a few hours before his death, ' I can't live ; I should be glad to see all my friends, but
I am reconciled, and feel prepared for death.' He is gone, his jjleasant voice is silent, and
his heart, so full of ])urity and gentleness, is still in death, the grave closes over all that is
dear and cherished.

Jeremiah Cogswell had to do with the building of the Erie Canal. He was for some
years a forwarding merchant and a dealer in flour and grain. In her eighty-third year Mrs.
Cogswell, then Mrs. Dewey, wrote of her former home : " Our home was one of the happiest
in the village, my husband was one of the best, a very indulgent father, a man of firm integrity,
one who was looked up to for advice by all his associates. All places of business in the town
were closed during the h(jur of his funeral service."

William Cogswell received his early education in the Academy of his
native town and graduated in the class of 1811 from Dartmouth College, N. H.
While a member of college he taught school in Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, Mass.
and was the early instructor of Hon. Rufus Choate, then a lad commencing the
study of the ancient classics. Vid. p. 82. After graduating, Mr. Cogswell for
two years was a teacher in Atkinson and Hampton Academies, N. H. He
pursued his professional studies with Rev. Josiah Webster, of Hampton, N. H.,
Rev. Daniel Dana, D. D., of Newburyport, and Rev. Dr. Samuel Worcester,
of Salem, Mass. An interesting episode in his course of theological study
was a home-missionary tour through Northern New Hampshire, partly to
regain his health, and partly to win souls to Christ. In both objects he was
successful. As the result of his labors in the town of Sandwich, N. H., there
was awakened a deep religious interest, and a church of thirteen members
organized. Of these original members were Hon. Paul Wentworth and his
wife, parents of Hon. John Wentworth, LL. D., and Dr. Asa Crosby, who was
chosen the first deacon, the father of a distinguished family of sons, viz. : Hon.
Nathan, Dr. Dixi, Prof. Alpheus, and Dr. Thomas Crosby. Mr. Cogswell
returned in health and completed his studies, and was ordained to the Gospel
ministry and installed, April 26, 1815, Pastor of the South Church in Dedham^
Mass., where he fulfilled a useful ministry of some fourteen years, and resigned,
much to the regret of his people, Dec. 15, 1829. He had already been chosen
the General Agent of the American Education Society, and soon after, Jan. 25,
1832, became its Secretary, which office he filled with great acceptance for
nearly ten years. In 1833 he received the degree of D. D. from Williams
College, and in 1837 ^^^ chosen a Trustee of Andover Theological Seminary.
Rev. Dr. Cogswell was elected, Jan. 12, 1841, to the Professorship of National
Education and History in Dartmouth College, N. H., and resigned the Secre
taryship of the American Education Society to enter upon the duties of this
new position, which, however, he resigned Jan. 11, 1844, and accepted the
Presidency and Chair of Christian Theology in Gilmanton Theological Semi-
nary, N. H. In 1846 he terminated his connection with the Seminary and
devoted himself to editorial labors. Besides accomplishing a large amount of
literary work, Dr. Cogswell preached on the Sabbath, supplying the pulpits in
Gilmanton Old Parish, and other places. His published works were some-
what numerous, and many of them involved large patience and labor, being of
a statistical character. Under his editorship was issued, in 1847, the First
Volume of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register.
The last work of his life was to edit the Sixth Volume of the New Hamp-
shire Historical Collections, a book of more than three hundred pages,
which mostly came under his revision during his last illness. The final proof-
sheets of this work were sent to the printer on the Monday preceding his
death, which occurred Thursday, April 18, 1850.
Rev. Dr. Cogswell was greatly interested in all matters of history and
14
202
genealog}'. He was connected with various historical and antiquarian societies,
both in this country and in Europe. For forty years, as he had opportunity, he
was collecting genealogical data of the Cogswell Family, which suggested and
inspired the preparation of this work, The Cogswells in America Some time
in the year 1849, largely at Rev. Dr. Cogswell's suggestion, there was held a
FAMILY MEETINC; OF COGSWELLS.
Mrs. Judith Cogswell, in her eighty-fourth year, still resided in the old
homestead in Atkinson, N. H. Tiiis gathering of her children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren was an occasion of deep interest. Rev. Dr. Cogs-
well, the eldest of her children, made the address, in which he recounted the
family history with congratulatory remarks. At that time, 1849, the aged
mother could reckon eight of her nine children as living. Of her forty-eight
grandchildren thirty-seven were living, and of her seventeen great-grandchil-
dren there were eleven living. Rev. Dr. Cogswell died the year succeed-
ing this meeting in the old homestead. There is no space here to give even
a general estimate of his life work and character. Numerous tributes have
been paid to his distinguished memory and published elsewhere. As the good
man neared the blessed transition from earth to Heaven, his mind seemed to
be filled with raptures in view of Christ and the Gospel he had loved to
preach. His last words were those of most animated exclamation : " I tri-
umph ! I TRIUMPH ! "

Mrs. Joanna Stkcjxc; Cogswell, wife of Rev. William Cogswell, D. D., \va.s the young-
est sister of the late Ai.k.xander Strong, Esi^, of licston, Mass. .She was a lady of great
loveliness of character, refinement of manners, and religious devotion. She had gifts of a
poetic nature, and in her notebook left some very sweet snatches of verse, an example of
which is the following :
THOUGUTS of A Mol Ill.K Willi. K SITTING I!V PHK CKAni.F. OF TIER SLEEPING InFANT.
My little William, lovely babe ! She hopes that thou wilt live, and prove
While in the cradle thou art laid, A child who will reward their love
Slee])ing so peacefully, -Vnd all their anxious care ;
Thv mother by thee watching sits, 'i'hat thou wilt be indeed a child
r.v turns she reads, and sews, nnd knits. Most sweet, affectionate, and mild,
Musing parentally. And wilt each virtue wear.
She thinks of thee as now thou art. She hopes that from thy earliest days
The comfort of thy i)arents' heart. Thou wilt delight in wisdom's ways
Their dearest earthly joy. And all her paths pursue ;
She thinks of what thou mayest be. That thou the good wilt always choose,
.•\nd hopes and fears concerning thee, .'\nd every evil wilt refuse,
Their little darling boy. Though flatt'ring to the view.
203
She hopes that if it be God's will,
Thou wilt have talents, gifts, and skill,
In knowledge to excel ;
And that thv powers and gifts may be
To him devoted sacredly
While thou on earth shalt dwell.
And oft a youth with talents blessed,
Who might have lived beloved, caressed,
An honor to mankind,
Has thrown his noblest powers away,
Or o'er them given to vice the sway,
To evil all inclined.
\'et while these pleasing hopes so bright
Inspire with joy and fond delight.
And thus her thoughts employ,
Intruding fears come o'er the heart.
Which sometimes cause the tear to start.
Lest thou these hopes destroy.
Shouldst thou, my precious babe, thus prove
An alien from the God of love,
To virtue thus be lost ;
Thy parents' tears for thee would flow,
Their sorrow no relief would know,
For their fond hopes are crossed.
For oft a child of promise fair.
One nourished with most tender care.
Perhaps an only son.
Has proved ungrateful, wretched, vile,
A prey to every tempting wile,
And utterly undone.
But O kind Father, in thy love
Look down in pity from above.
These evils dire prevent !
May this dear child thine image bear,
Eternal glory may he share
When all his days are spent ! J. s. C.
William Strong Cogswell, the subject of his mother's tender thoughts as above
ex])ressed, realized all her best hopes in ability and character, but was early called to a higher
service than any of earth. He died at his home in Gilmanton, N. H., just before reaching
his twentieth birthday, while a member of the Senior class in Dartmouth College. The death
of this only son of fine scholarship and brilliant promise was a crushing blow to the family.
Dr. Cogswell never recovered from this sad affliction. His health soon after declined, and
two years later his own death was recorded.
The following lines appeared in The Boston Recorder of May 12, 1S48 :
On the Death of W'ILLIam Strong Cogswell.
Another friend whom we have loved is gone,
Gone to his silent home, the peaceful grave.
You in whose bosoms swells the tide of youth.
May guess what cherished hopes unrealized.
Like the first budding flowers of early spring,
When nipped by frosts, have withered in his death.
Consumption came, the lurking foe of man.
And smiling as he fixed his arrow, brake
His morning dream of life. I heard the bell,
W^iich, at his parting breath, began to toll ;
And as each mournful echo died away,
A fresher tear came forth. If I did weep
When no tie bound us but our common lot,
To view the end of his short pilgrimage.
How could the tenderness of woman's heart —
A mother's soul, its untold anguish vent ?
Man's woe is short ; his powers were made for toil.
That plucks the pain of other thoughts away ;
But woman sorrows as she loveth, once.
And then forever. If perchance in time
The memory of her loved one should grow dim,
204
And pleasure weave its magic round her path,
Ev'n then you may detect a lonely spot,
In cypress mantled, and with ivy twined ;
For I have noticed, those who once have mourned.
Smile sadly ever after. Sisters, say,
If ye have seen a brother by your side
Cropped in the bloom of youth, in lonely hours.
When sweetest visions of the past arise,
And well-remembered tones steal on the soul
In melting music, if without a sigh
Ye then can smile.
And William is no more!
The hollow, dismal knell, the pall and bier,
Have done their gloomy office. At his grave
The mourners have their last sad homage paid
To him who died at morn, just ere the last
Among the sister stars sunk pale and sick,
ISehind the deep blue curtain of yon sky.
The warbling birds sang sweetly, as he died,
Their all-wise Maker's praise ; and we may hope
For him in heaven another harp was tuned.
And we must follow. In a few quick years.
Our names, engraved upon the silent slab.
Will be, perhaps, the last remaining proof,
That time once saw us, and his sickle waved
Above our being. When the twilight glows.
Visit some sleeper in his churchyard rest,
And tell me if 't is so. The mighty spell
Of our devotion — life — will soon dissolve ;
And the cold current of forgetfulness
Roll on our hearts, when from their riven cells
Death drags his struggling victim. Youth, beware !
Thy spirit is inmiortal ! Smother not
The heavenly flame that kindles in thy breast ;
IJut cherish as a rich, eternal gift
The love which (iod himself has breathed in thee:
So mayst thou die in peace, and leave a name
Beloved and wept, as William's is by all.
The summer bird, if she have lost her mate.
Will fly to William's grave; and as her plaint
Of touching sadness fills the lingering breeze.
For lack of tears her little heart will break.
Oh, that I were a bird, and I could weep !
How would I sit, the livelong day, and sing.
Beside the fresh, green turf above his head,
And water with my tears each gentle flower,
Blooming in fragrance there! Farewell, thou dust!
Thy once bright spirit's dream is jjast, and Time,
Leaning upon the ruin, sighs, " Farewki.i. ! "

wrote, " Should I live one calendar month more I shall be seventy-eight years
old. At that age I can make but little calculation for the future. I have
great reason to thank our Heavenly Father for all the benefits and blessings
which I have received at His hands. My cup of blessing has been filled and
running over. I have no complaint to make. 1 have passed smoothly and
pleasantly along this, a long life, a full third of a century in a public or cor-

porate employment, and have never had it in my heart to complain of ill usage
by the world. I have always thought that I had received all that I deserved
to have, and was and am satisfied." Mr. Cogswell survived to his eightieth
year. His funeral service was attended in Christ Church, Andover, Mass.

George Cogswell received his earlier education at the academy of his
native town, prosecuted his professional studies under the ablest teachers of
Medical Science in New England, and received the degree of M. D., with the
highest honors of his class, in 1830, from Dartmouth College, N. H. Dr. Cogs-
well at once established himself as a physician in l^radford, Mass., where he
won a wide practice and rose rapidly to eminence in his profession. With the
desire for a wider knowledge in the range of his profession, especially in the
line of surgery, in the fall of 1841 he visited Europe, spending the succeeding
winter in the hospitals of Paris, and in attending the lectures of the most dis-
0-^r^t<-'^^_
213
tinguished men in medical science. In the following spring he visited the
principal cities of Italy, and for a while studied in the hospitals of London.
On his return he at once resumed the practice of his profession. He boldly
and successfully attempted capital operations in surgery, and became the lead-
ing surgical operator and consulting physician for a large circuit. He fitted
up a well-appointed dissecting-room, and the advantages of his instruction
were sought by many students to whom became known his superior knowledge
of Technical Anatomy. In 1844 Dr. Cogswell received, but declined, an invi-
tation to occupy the chair of a Professor in the Medical Department of one of
the leading colleges in New England. He had a great desire to elevate the
standard of medical practice, and largely by his efforts the Essex North Medi-
cal Association was organized, which became a vigorous branch of the Massa-
chusetts Medical Society. After Dr. Cogswell relinquished the active practice
of his profession, he still retained his membership in this society, participated
in its discussions of scientific and practical subjects, and contributed much to
its success.
Dr. Cogswell was called to fill other positions of responsibility and trust.
He was elected President of the Union Bank in Haverhill, Mass., at its organ-
ization in 1849, ^"<^1 was elected to the same office v^'hen that institution became
the First National Bank in 1864, which position he still filled in 1884. For
many years he was the Vice-President of the Haverhill Savings Bank, and for
a time the President of a Railroad Company He was an active member of
the Chapman Hall meeting in Boston, which organized the Republican party
in Massachusetts, with which party he was ever in full accord. In 1852 he
was a member of the Electoral College, which gave the vote of Massachu-
setts for Gen. Winfield Scott. In 1858 and 1859 he was a member of the
Executive Council, Nathaniel P. Banks being the Governor of Massachusetts.
He was a delegate from the Sixth District of Massachusetts to the Chicago
Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for President in i860. In
1862 he was appointed by President Lincoln Collector of Internal Revenue
for the Sixth District of Massachusetts. After holding this office for four
years, he was removed by President Johnson, without cause, and was reap-
pointed to the same office by President Grant in 1870, which position he held
until 1875, when this district was consolidated with two other districts. This
was one of the largest and most important paying districts in the country, and
under the administration of Dr. Cogswell its affairs were conducted with
marked efficiency and exactness. He was a member of the Electoral College
of 1868, which gave the vote of the State for Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Dr.
Cogswell received the degree of A. M. from Dartmouth College in 1865. He
was always deeply interested in educational matters and gave some of his best
service to the management of important schools. He was for a long time a
Trustee of Atkinson Academy, and of the Peabody Academy of Science, in
Salem, Mass. For nearly fifty years he was a Trustee of Bradford Academy,
and during most of this time had the entire management of its financial
affairs. His efficiency in this work is best illustrated by the splendid appoint-
214
ments of this institution for the higher education of young ladies. The ample
grounds, the perfection of the school edifice, the excellence of the teachers,
and the scope of its curriculum, give it a prominence and a power not
excelled. He had the pleasure, with his associate trustees, of seeing this
school, by the generosity and interest of its many friends, placed upon an
enduring foundation. In the great reforms of the last half-century Dr. Cogs-
well gave his influence by judicious advice and consistent example. He com-
menced active life with the temperance cause, and was an ardent supp irter
of the anti-slavery movement from the beginning to the end of that great
controversy.
Dr. Cogswell was evangelical in his religious convictions, and never departed
from the Scriptures of his ancestors. In 183 1 he became a member of the
church in Bradford, and was always identified with its growth and prosperity.
In i860 he assisted in forming the Haverhill Monday Evening Club,
which was composed of gentlemen of literary tastes, residing in Haverhill and
Bradford, for the discussion of literary, scientific, and social topics. In 1878
Dr. Cogswell made his second visit to Europe, and was at the World's Fair in
Paris. He included in his travels the mountains and lakes of Switzerland,
and portions of Germany, Belgium, and Holland. He also visited the rural
districts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, giving much attention to the agri-
cultural capabilities and resources of the countries through which he passed,
and manifesting the same enthusiasm in all objects of interest that character-
ized his former visit. Amid his multiplied cares and duties, Dr. Cogswell
found time to devote no little attention to agriculture, and his broad acres on
the sunny slope of "Riverside" give evidence of good cultivation. There,
amid the rural retirement of his country home, he passed the summer months
of his later years, with his family, receiving his friends with the cordial grace
of old-time hospitality.
It should not fail of mention, that of those who have generously aided in
carrying forward to successful issue the work of genealogical research, as
presented in this volume, there is no one to whom the author is so largely
indebted, for counsel, encouragement, and money, as to Hon. George Cogs-
well, M. D. For fuller mention of Dr. Cogswell, vid. Successful New

Mrs. Elizabeth (Doane) Cogswell, the wife of lion. George Cogswell, M. D., was the
youngest daughter of Hon. Klisha and Susan Doane, of Yarmouth, Mass. Her older sister,
Susan Doane, was the wife of Rev. Nathaniel Cogswell [ 415 ]. The family of the late Judge
Doane were literary and highly cultivated. Mrs. Cogswell was a lady of great refinement
and interesting social qualities.

graduated from Bradford Academy, and in 1S71, with a party of friends, made an extended
tour in England and Central Europe.

"Mason Cogswell, who married Lydia Himtingfon, resided at tlie homestead originally
occupied by his father, which was situated on the highest ground in the vicinity of Upper
Dyke Village, from which the dykes and meadows below and around could be seen to the
extent of two or three miles on either side of the Upper Canard River. He was a very thriv-
ing and industrious farmer, and instructed his boys in the like line of life, with the exception
of the second son, Henry Hezekiah, who was destined for the legal profession, and enjoyed
the advantages of an education at King's College, Windsor, while common schools at the time
were few and far between. From an inventory of the property and estate of Capt. Mason
Cogswell, after his death in 1816, it is observed that he had, besides eight hundred acres of
upland farm and wood lots, with eighty acres of marsh and dyke lands, a herd comprising
twenty-four horned cattle (nine being cows), also two horses, twelve swine, with the several
appliances of agricultural implements employed or procurable at the time, household furniture,
sofa, Windsor chairs, a small book library, silver spoons and sugar tongs for the stirring busi-
ness of the tea table, not omitting coffee-pot, tin kitchen and scales, bed furniture, blankets,
bolsters and pillows, as results of home growth of raw materials, with the use of spinning
wheel and weaver's shuttle. The inventory, in short, would seem to indicate a self-sustaining
house, comprising evervthing required bv the frugal householder and farmer, down to money
scales and shoe buckles, with a number of promissory-notes given him by less prosperous
neighbors, amounting by inventory to an estimated value of $13,334 of the now existing
currency." Capt. Mason Cogswell's grave was in the Presbyterian burial-ground on Church
Street, Cornwallis, N. S. The inscription on his tombstone was as follows :
In Memory of
CAPTAIN MASON COGSWELL,

James Cogswell, eldest child of Rev. Dr. James and Alice (Fitch) Cogs-
well, was born in Canterbury, Conn. He studied medicine, and commenced
practice in Preston, but soon removed to Stamford, Conn. During the War of
the Revolution Dr. Cogswell was under appointment as Surgeon in the Army,
and on duty in Cambridge, Mass., and vicinity in the summer of 1775, and at
the battle of Bunker Hill. Afterwards his official duties called him to Stam-
ford, Conn., as Examining Surgeon of Volunteers for the Army. And yet
later he was assigned to New York, where his younger brother, Mason Fitch
Cogswell [481 J, was his assistant. Subsequent to the Revolution Dr. Cogs-
well continued the practice of his profession in New York. The New York
Directory of 1786 gives "James Cogswell, Surgeon and Apothecary, 219
Queen Street." Dr. Cogswell died of yellow fever, contracted while in attend-
ance upon the duties of his profession. At the time of his death he was only
forty-si.x years of age, but had won for himself an eminence in his profession,
and even higher distinction in character, as a gentleman of literary taste, public
and philanthropic spirit, and devoted piety. Dr. Cogswell was a correspond-
ent of the poet Cowper, and had a wide literary acquaintance. By marriage
he became connected with some of the best families of New England, the
Davenports, Huntingtons, Edwardses, Lloyds, Taylors, and Woolseys. Numer-
ous published obituaries mention his eminent professional skill and unobtru-
sive but effective piety. "Thompson's Long Island" furnishes the following
testimonial : " Dr. James Cogswell, of New York, was a man no less dis-
tinguished for his professional acquirements than for his noble philanthropy
and generous public spirit " For further biographical mention of Dr. James
Cogswell, vid. History of Stamford, Conn.

Dr. James Cogswell was buried in a church vault in New York ; afterwards his remains
were removed and interred in the churchyard of Christ's Church, Manhasset, Long Island,
N. Y. The spot is marked bv a tombstone bearing the following inscription :
237
" Here repose the mortal remains of Doctor James Cogswell, who died the 20th of November,
X792, in the A^th year of his age.-
" He ivas a Patriot, actively engaged as a memher of the staff of Washington in the great
striiogle for Independence.
" A Philanthropist deeply interested in all the benevolent movements of his times, one of the
principal originators of the New York Dispensary Systetn, also of a Society for the relief 0/ dis

Mrs. Elizabeth {Davenport) Cogswell W'-a.s the daughter of Hon. Abraham Davenport, son
of Rev. John Davenport, of Stamford, Conn., and grandson of Rev. John Davenport, " the
father of the New Haven Colony." He was born in 17 15, graduated from Yale College in
1732, married, Nov. 16, 1750, Elizabeth Huntington, of Windham, Conn., whose mother was
the second daughter of Rev. Timothy and Esther (Stoddard) Edwards, of East Windsor, Conn.,
and had nine sisters and an only brother. President Jonathan Edwards, D. D., pastor
of Northampton, Mass., from 1726 to 1750, was Mrs. Cogswell's great-uncle. Mrs. Cogswell's
father, Hon. Abraham Davenport, was prominent in public affairs. He was State Council-
lor, Judge of Court of Common Pleas, Judge of Probate, and a member of the General
Assembly of Connecticut. An incident is told illustrating his good sense and courage. He
was a member of the State Council when occurred the dark day, May 19, 17S0. There was a
general feeling that the Day of Judgment had come. The Ceneral Assembly, unable to trans-
act business, adjourned, and great trepidation prevailed. The proposal to adjourn was before
the Council when Col. Davenport arose and said, " I am against an adjournment. The Day of
Judgment is either approaching or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for an adjournm-etit ; if
it is, I choose to be foicftd doing my duty. I wish, therefore, that the candles may be brought, and we
proceed to business." Mrs. Cogswell's brother was the Hon. James Davenport, who graduated
from Yale College in 1777, married. May 7, 1780, "^ Abigail Fitch, who died ; married, Nov. 6,
1790, -Mehitable Coggeshall, a descendant of Hon. John Coggeshall, first President of Rhode
Island Colony in 1647, under patent granted by the Earl of Warwick. Mrs. Bruen, a descend-
ant, lived, 1883, in a house standing on the site of the ancient Coggeshall mansion in Newport,
R. I. Mr. Davenport was State Councillor in 1796, chosen a member of the American Con-
gress, but died before his term expired, Aug. 3, 1797, at the age of thirty-nine years.
Mrs. Abigail (Lloyd) Cogszaell was the daughter of John Lloyd, Esq., a gentleman farmer
who resided in Lloyd Manor, Stamford, Conn. .She was the granddaughter of Henry and
Rebecca (Nelson) Lloyd. Her mother was the daughter of Rev. Benjamin and Abigail
(Taylor) Woolsey.
LETTERS OF JAMES COGSWELL, M. D..
TO HIS father.
"Camp .at Roxburv, 7TH June, 1775.
''Dear and Honored Sir, — The bearer is just setting out, and I have but a few moments to
employ in writing to you. We are all hurry and confusion here. We have been for several
days expecting a visit from our neighbors and making preparations to give them a suitable
reception. Last night 1,100 men began to break ground at Dorchester Hill, and have not been
molested this morning.
"Col. Putnam began to intrench last night at Bonchee's Hill, on Charlestown side. They
have fired a number of cannon upon him this morning, but the firing is now ceased.
" The troops are healthy, orderly, and in fine spirits, waiting with the utmost impatience
to have the Regulars sally out. I live in a house with the worthy Gen. Spencer. He appears
to me the most sagacious, active officer I have seen in the camp.
" The generals in this colony (as it is now called) are worthy men, but they are not trained
to make such quick dispatch of business as military duty requires. I hope you will write to
2 3cS
me frequently. There is much prophaneness in the Canip, more among the troops that belong
to Rhode Island than ours. Our men are allowed to be the most orderly, able, and best
disciplined of anv in the Service. Col. Parsons arrived this morning The powder from
Connecticut came in yesterday; the arrival of it gave us much joy. We have not enough to
support a constant fire of heavy cannon should we open batteries. This has embarrassed our
officers very much. Give my most dutiful regards to my mother, remember me with affection
to Mr. Devotion and to Sister Lucy.
" I am your dutiful Son,.
"James Cogswell."
" Camp in RoxbIirv, 23Rl> June, 1775.
''Dear and Hoti'd Sir, — Reed yours of the 21st inst. from Coventry, and the request
by the Bearer. I wrote a letter of the same date of yours, m which I have given you all the
information I was then able to give with respect to the matters of which you inquired. Since
that time we have heard by two Persons, something more of the numbers killed and wounded
among the Regulars. A man whose name is Clark made his escape from Boston, the day
before yesterday. He has a brother in the place. General Spencer saw and conversed with
him. He says the Regulars had upwards of a thousand killed and wounded. Major Pitcairn
was killed, and one of those generals that lately arrived, but which he could not tell. A num-
ber of other officers of inferior rank were killed. The other man that made his escape con-
firms this account. We have had no considerable engagement since. The Regulars have
ceased their fu^e, and are intrenching on Bunker Hill. We every day expect they will make
another push. Our men are fortifying Spectacle hill, and are so strongly intrenched that I do
not feel much concerned. I am now obliged to set out for Cambridge, and can add no more
than suitable compliments to all friends.
" From your affectionate Son,
"James Cogswell.
" Rev. Mr. Cogswell."
"Camp in Roxbury, 23RD August, 1775.
"Dear and Hon'' d Sir, — I have received several very kind, affectionate letters from you,
which I have not answered. The reasons have been want of time, and expecting to see you
soon. I have been for about six weeks past in a constant hurry, and not a moment's time to
spare. It has been and is very sickly in our camp, though I think it is now rather abating.
" Considering the numbers that have been sick, the Distemper has not proved very mortal.
" My Grandfather Fitch was here yesterday. By him I understand you have dismissed
the thoughts of visiting the Camp at present, by reason of sickness in Scotland. I hope it
will abate, and I may have the pleasure of seeing you here. We are in expectations of an
attack from the enemy soon ; several deserters from them inform us they are making . . . and
implements for attacking and filling up intrenchments. Many trees in the town are cut down
for that purpose. Some before Mrs. Hancock's door were demolished yesterday. But for
my part I am in doubt whether they will venture. Mrs. Cogswell I conclude is now at Pres-
ton. I wrote to her by Mr. Hart on Monday. If she is with you give my love to her and tell
her I expect her brother from Fairfield soon. Mr. Hart took a carriage with him to Preston,
which I suppose Mr. Davenjiort will ride in here. I hope Betsey will come with him. Give
my duty to my mamma, and to Sister Lucy. P:esent my best regards to Mr. Devotion and
his family. Capt. Fanning waits, and I am in haste. Phin Tracy is very ill. I am very
doubtful of his recovery.
" I am your affectionate Son,
"James Cogswell.

" Stamford, iqtii Dkc, 1783.
" Dear and Hon^d Sir, — This wW) be delivered bv mv brother Samuel, whose company
.we have been favored with some time. It must be very pleasing to you to see him again after
so long absence, returning from the dangers that attend a military life, unsullied with the vices
that accompany it, and as one who has a share in the arduous task of successfully opposing
239
one of the most potent nations in the world, and in jjiocuiing i)eace and independence. For
my own part I view him with a kind of respect, mixed with fraternal affection, gratitude, and
love. Your pleasure would have been increased by seeing Mason with Samuel, had it not
been for an event that has caused great distress among the circle of your acquaintance in
Stamford. You know Mrs. Davenport, and can easily conceive that her death, at so early
a period, must be very affecting. .She grew more and more amiable from the first of my
acquaintance with her, and though we are deeply affected with her loss, we do n(jt mourn
without hope. Mr. Davenport is nuich affected. I hope it may work for his good. I have
been sick with the fever and ague. Mrs. Loyd, Mrs. Cogswell, and Alice have had it, but we
are now (God be thanked) in good health. We were too unwell to think of visiting you
until the weather became too cold. I am going to New York soon, and if I can purchase
medicine and get a store, shall move in. I think of vou often, and wish that I was so nigh
you that I could see you, enjoy your company, and receive your advice. Mrs. Cogswell and
Alice present their dutiful regards to you and my Mother. I hope she enjoys a good state of
health. I wish it for her sake and yours. Give my duty to her, and accept it yourself from

Samuel Cogswell fitted for college under his father's instruction, having
for a classmate his cousin, Ebenezer Fitch. They entered Yale College mem-
bers of the same class, were room-mates throughout the course, and both grad-
uated in 1777. Mr-. Cogswell was in the Army of the Revolution, and was
240
the Lieut. Samuel Cogswell who appears with Col. Thomas Cogswell
[152] and Major Amos Cogswell [156] on the banks of the Hudson when
the officers of the American Revolution organized, in 1783, " The Society
OF Cincinnati." After the close of the war he engaged in the mercantile
business. Mr. Cogswell was a person of fine abilities and of refined and
attractive manners. He seemed to have a career of eminence before him,
when his life was suddenly terminated, Aug. 29, 1790. He was on a gunning
excursion with a college classmate and friend, Mr. Dickinson, when, by some
accident, his friend's gun was unexpectedly discharged, and Mr. Cogswell
killed almost instantly. He was but thirty-six years of age.
LETTERS OF LIEUT. SAMUEL COGSWELL
TO HIS FATHER.
" Pautuxet, gTH March, 1779.
'■' Dear a)id Hoji'd Sir, — It is a long time since I liave had the pleasure to hear from the
family by letter. I am ignorant of the reason. I sometimes think it owing to the miscarriage
of letters, and sometimes to the expectation of soon seeing me at home, but never can impute
it to want of parental love.
"By my former letters you doubtless know the reason of my being so long absent from
home. The same reasons, viz., the scarcity of Officers to do Camp Duty, still keeps me here.
Officers who deserved Furloughs sooner than me and who left Camp in the Winter have not
yet returned. They are daily expected, and as soon as they come I have the promise of a
Furlough. My duty through the Winter has been rather severe, but I have always been able to
perform it. Not a single tour have I missed since I have been a soldier. Thus by my steadi-
ness and attention to my duty I cannot think it will savour of ostentation to say that I have
gained the esteem of my .Superiors and acquired the character of a good Officer ; but I say
this to my Parents only.
"The vices of Camp are innumerable, and i)erhaps the number is as large in this Detach-
ment as in any upon the Continent. Many of the Officers are men of very loose principles
either as to moral or religious duties. They have bravery and public Virtue, but they are
both founded upon wrong sentiments. There are a select few in this Detachment who are
worthy to be beloved and admired. To goodness and politeness they join a desire of pleas-
ing by an amiable and unblemished conduct. I know my Father would choose to have me
neglect the company of the former whilst I make the latter my companions. I do, and with
a great degree of pleasure can say that hitherto I have shunned those vices, of which the liv-
ii\g in general is guilty; but 1 must confess that the frequency of them makes them appear
less enormous to me now than when I first commenced a Soldier's life. Cool reflection shows
them to me in the same colours as ever, but at first sight they have not the same imj^ression
upon me as they once had. Heaven, I hope, will give me power always to avoid them.
" No news in this Quarter. The enemy at New Port are very still. I think they are fools
if they lay still long, for our shores are thinly manned. It is my opinion that four thousand
of them might get to Providence with a great deal of ease; but they would be obliged to go
back again very soon. Hunger, I e.xpcct, will ere long dri\e them out, for we are told they
have but short allowance.
"My Quarters are much exposed. I live with a rich old Farmer, whose Oxen, Cows, and
Sheep would afford them a grand repast. Should they be temjjted to make him a visit some
dark night, it is ten to one but I shall be obliged to run off with but half a Shirt to my back.
" I expect to be at home in three weeks. My best Duty to my Mamma and compliments
to Mr. and Mrs. Devotion.
" I am, .Sir, your dutiful and affectionate Son,
" S. Cogswell."
241
"Camp Pracknkss, N. Jersey, 15 July, 1780.
" Dear and Honored Sir, — You will undoubtedly be glad to know that your son has
safely arrived at camp, and with health sufficient to do the duty of a Soldier. I left New
Haven the day after my father did, and at evening reached Stamford. As I passed through
Fairfield and Norwalk (the first time I have seen them since their distruction) I was almost
persuaded to vow eternal enmity to the name of Britons. My better feelings were aroused by
reflecting on the baseness of human Nature, and compassionating the situation of the unhappy-
sufferers. I tarried at Stamford six days. From Stamford I came to West Point, at which
place I tarried long enough to take a view of all the principal fortifications there. My knowl-
edge of fortifications is very trifling, but I could, however, make up my judgment, partly from
my own observation, but more from the remarks of others w'ho have both ability and oppor-
tunity to become perfectly acquainted with the natural as well as artificial strength of the
Post. Every hill on each side of the River upon which forts are erected appeared formidable
by Nature, but the amazing strong works which 'are raised on every convenient place make
them terrible to the view, and much more so if approached in a hostile manner. From many
considerations it is believed that the Post is only defended by a small force, although it should
be attacked by a very large one. From West Point I travelled in company with General Arnold
t() this Place. The most of the Army I found destitute of Tents, and encamped in a Wood
with no other security from the inclemency of the weather than the boughs of Trees, or now
and then a Bark Hut. The evening after my arrival in Camp, a rain began, which continued
almost two days, the most of which time I was wet to mv skin, as were all that were with me.
This served as an hardening, but it gave me a cold, the effects of which I am not ])erfectly rid
of yet.
"But we have now the happiness to be covered with Tents of the best kind, which, with
the prospect I have of regaining my health, makes me very contented. I find all the gentle-
men, and indeed all the Lords of the Regiment to which I belong, very destitute of every
convenience. I thought the place of their encampment very suitable to their appearance, and
I still think they ought not to have left the woods till they had been clothed anew from head
to foot. Besides being very ragged and very dirty (which by the way they were unable to
prevent for want of a change of clothes), they were supplied with but half allowance of Meat,
Bread, or Rum. Whilst I pity the poor fellows for the neglect with which they were treated,
my admiration was drawn forth at a view of the patience with which they bore it.
" Not a single complaint have I heard made by a Soldier since I joined the army. Every
one seems willing to wait for a compensation till his countrv can grant it to him without injur-
ing herself, which happy time we expect is near at hand. The arrival of the French Fleet at
Newport, of which I doubt you have full information, very greatly exhilarates our Spirits, and
gives us glorious prospect of soon retaliating for the loss of Charlestown (Charleston ?). We
expect speedily to have the pleasure of joining the troops of our glorious Ally at the White
Plains, the consequence of which must be nothing short, of a complete Clintonade. The only
regret I feel on the occasion, is this, ' that America should be so lost to her own glory as well
as interest, and at a time, too, when she abounds in the best Soldiers, as to suffer a foreign
force to enter her territories, and fight her battles.' It carries with it a disgrace which she
will never be able to wipe out. This is at present my opinion, which I am sensible is w'orth
very little, and which I may probably have reason to alter in a very short time. I wish I may-
Should an attempt be made upon New York, the danger will be great, and Death will be very
busy, for the besieged will doubtless defend themselves with the most obstinate bravery.
Then, Sir, I know you will shudder for your Son. But at the same time you wish for his
safety, I hope you will as ardently wish that his conduct may be such as may do honor to him-
self and to his friends, so that if it should be the will of Heaven that he shall be found among
those who shall nobly fall in the defense, and for the support of so glorious a cause as that in
which we are engaged, you may have reason to say, ' I thank thee. Heaven, my Boy has done
his duty! ' But it is time for me to put an end to this very long letter. However, you will
consider, Sir, that your patience will not be exercised in this way very often.
"The Bearer is a Soldier of the Regiment, whose time is out.
242
" I doubt not he will ]>€ paid for his trouble, that is, fed, and if he wants it, lodged. Mv
best regards to Mamma, respectful com])linients to Capt. Whiting and Mrs. I shall wish
much to hear from home, but do not wish my Father to write me unless he has a very direct
opportunity. The Army will soon move from this place, perhaps to White Plains.
" With every sentiment of the most dutiful respect,
" I am your son,
" Sam'l Cogswell.
" Mr. Cogswell, IVindham." .
" In Camp, 19TH September, 1781.
'■'Dear and Houorid Sir, — I write in great haste. Arnold's infamous conduct at New-
Haven is still a subject of conversation. The rascal has obtained by it neither honor, or
what was much more his desire, gain, for thev tax him on the other side with behaviour like a
coward, and he did not get i:)lunder enough to j^ay him for his jaunt. We wait with a great
deal of impatience for the event of General Washington's expedition to Virginia. Nothing
short of a total capture of Lord Cornwallis and his army would satisfy us.

LETTER FR(,)M LEANDER TO FORTIUS.
'* New Haven, Oct. 8th, i7?4.
" You are too good, my Brother, took kind, too affectionate. I do not deserve so much
praise, so much, I should call it, flatterv, and I doubt the sincerity of your friendship after so
long experience.
"Be assured your affection does not meet with cold returns from your Leander. After
having enjoved the invaluable blessing so long, after having tried it thro' so manv occurrences
and vicissitudes, and found it invariable and unshaken, even the apprehension of losing it
would be to him the bitterest attlict'on. The longer I live, the more I am acquainted with
mankind, the less favorably do 1 think of them in general, and the more highly do I prize the
esteem and friendship of those who were the companions of my childhood, the friends of my
youth, and whose early attachment, even before either could judge of the other's merit, has
been gradually ripening into a rational, tender, and manly affection. In this number, you, my
Brother, hold the first j)lace, and while this heart of mine continues to beat, it will beat with
affection for you.
" You have given me great pleasure in connnunicating to me your plan of business. I am
pleased with your prospect. It promises fair, and if your expectations from it are not too
high, I flatter myself they will not be disappointed. It is vain to hope that any plan will fully
answer our wishes. Yours is very rational, flattering. The stand you have taken, from the
account I have had of the Countrv, I have long thought a good one. Your i)artner is a worthy,
good Lad, active, enterjjrising, and persevering, and in vour jjlan of business, these, seasoned
with prudence, caution, and experience, are very rccpiisite qualifications. May heaven reward
you both, and ])lace in easy and elegant circumstances the Nym]ih you shall honor with your
esteem, and bless with your tenderness.
" Apropos of Miss P F , if she is to be the happy one, I congratulate you both ;
tho' mv acquaintance with her is small, I think highly of her. Every one that knows her
intimately sjieaks much in her praise. A reputation so good must have merit to support
it. A character so amiable she could not have accpiired unless really possessed of that sense,
those virtues of heart and aml)iablencss of manners which are necessary to constitute it. I
hope to have a better personal acquaintance with her shortly. She left Stratford lately on a
visit to her friends at Woodbury. I have not yet heard of her return.
243
"Jimmy Davenport and my Sister Sally set out day before yesterday for Stamford. By
them I forwarded your letter enclosed in one of my own. I took the liberty to offer her my
services to convey the letters to you, and assured her she might rely on my secrecy and
honor. Happy shall I be if she honors me with her confidence, and enables me to render her
and my Fortius any services. But I know not whether she will accept of the tender of my.
assistance, unless it be seconded by your opinion and advice. Ail your friends here send their
love. Present mine to Mr. Seldon and all your friends with you. I am not certain where this
will find you. Write me often. With sincerest wishes for your hap])iness, I am, mv dear
Fortius,

Mrs. Mary (Backus) Cogswell married, May 2, i~g2,-Rev.]Ebe7tezer Fitch, son of Jabez
and Lydia (Huntington) Fitch, the cousin, early playmate, and college classmate of her
lamented husband. The tradition is that Mr. Fitch had made the offer of marriage to the
beautiful Marv Backus about the same time that she received a like proposal from Mr. Cogs-
well, neither being aware of the other's intentions. She chose Mr. Cogswell, but being bereft
of him, she accepted Mr. Fitch, who made the kindest father to the children of his lamented
cousin, and proved a dev'oted husband to his widow, and became the distinguished First
Fresident of Williams College.

Mason Fitch Cogswell was baptized Oct. 4, 1761, the seventh day after
his birth. His mother died while he was but a lad of eleven years, and soon
after he went to be in the family of Hon. Samuel Huntington, whose accom-
plished wife was Mrs. Martha (Devotion) Huntington, daughter of Rev. Dr.
Cogswell's predecessor in Scotland Parish, Windham, Conn. Hon. Samuel
Huntington, in 1779-80, was the President of the Continental Congress, and
afterwards, from 1786 to his death, in 1796, the Governor of Connecticut.
While in Mr. Huntington's family he fitted for college, and was entered at
Yale, the youngest member of his class, in 1776. He maintained his standing
and led his class in scholarship throughout the course, and graduated in 1780
with the highest honors, having the Valedictory Oration. He had a natural gift
for surgery, and chose the profession of medicine. While pursuing his studies
he was with his brother, Dr. James Cogswell [478], in the Soldiers' Hospital,
in New York City, where he acquired great expertness in surgery, and was
very distinguished in this department throughout his professional life. It is
said that he was the most accurate, neat, and rapid operator in the country.
His dexterity with the knife was wonderful. He once amputated a thigh in
forty seconds.
Dr. Cogswell had a mind that was never ruffled or disconcerted, and a
hand that never trembled during any operation. He first introduced the most
important operation in removing a cataract from the eye, extracting it rather
245
than breaking it in pieces. He was the first one in this country to secure the
carotid artery with a ligature ; and "that the Deaf and Dumb Asyhim in Hart-
ford, Conn., owes its existence to the exertions of Dr. Cogswell, in the first
instance, is as familiarly known as the institution itself." He was moved to
this by sympathy for his own daughter, Alice, a girl of strong and gifted mind,
but who by severe illness was rendered deaf and dumb at the age of six years.
Her father, by reading in a French medical pamphlet of the successful teach-
ing of the deaf and dumb across the water, was inspired to see if something
could not be done for such persons in this country. It was largely by his
influence that Rev. Thomas Gallaudet visited J'aris, gathered information, and
brought back with him M. L. Clere, in 1816, by whose services the first asylum
for the deaf and dumb was established in America, and Alice Cogswell was its
first pupil.
Dr. Cogswell may be said to have been the originator of the Hartford
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb, as he was of the Hartford Retreat for Insane
People. The former was founded in 1820, the latter in 1824. Dr. Cogswell
was chosen, in 18 12, the President of the Connecticut Medical Society, which
office he held for ten years. He was not only a surgeon, but a scholar, poet,
and Christian. He was an assiduous and successful cultivator of polite litera-
ture, especially poetry. He was the companion and compeer of Dr. Hopkins,
Judge Trumbull, Dr. Strong, Mr. Theodore Dwight, and others. He was also
a proficient in music.
Dr. Cogswell's last illness was of short duration, lasting only five days.
The whole city of Hartford was moved by the event of his illness, and late at
evening people stood in groups along the sidewalks to inquire in whispers of
the physicians as they came from the house, " How is he ? " His death was
a great public loss as well as a private afiliction. His daughter Alice sank
under the bereavement, and herself died two weeks later. For notice of
Mason F. Cogswell, M. D., vid. Lecture by Prof. Jona. Knight., M. Z>., before
Medical Class tn Yale College, Nov. 2, 1833. Vid. Williams Medical Biogra-
phy, pp. 100-109.
Mary A. Ledyard, who became the wife of Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell, was the daughter
of Austin Ledyard, a half-brother of Col. William Ledyard, who after a brave and hopeless
defence of Fort Griswold against superior numbers, was murderously slain by a British otificer
and his men massacred after he had surrendered his sword, Sept. 7, 1781. The Centennial
OF the Capture of Fort Griswold was observed Sept. 7, 1881, and Mr. Whittier was
invited to furnish a poem for the occasion.
Mrs. Cogswell's grandparents were John and Mary Austin Ledyard. John Ledyard was
from Bristol, England. He came to America in early life and first appears as a teacher of a
Latin School in Southold, L. L Vid. New York Genealogical Biographical Records,
Vol. VIL, 1876, p. 12.
An article in the New Englander for Jan., 18S2, entitled Old Times in Coiineetic7d, makes
mention of an old diary of Dr. M. F. Cogswell, of a trip home to Thanksgiving, 1788. This
was prior to the National Government, which was completed April 30, 1789.
Dr. Bacon, late of New Haven, received from A. R. Brock, Esq., of Richmond, Va., Sec-
246
retary of the Virginia Historical Society, the relic, with this communication, viz. : " I enclose
for your acceptance a soiled fragment of a diary found among the papers of a pious and
beloved Presbyterian divine of Richmond, Rev. John D. Blair, who was born in Pennsylvania,
Scotch- Irish descent, and who died in 1823. I know not the writer, but am assured by several
circumstances that it was written between 1780-90, which indeed will be apparent to you by
internal evidence on inspection. There may be something of local record in it to interest
you." Says Dr. Bacon, " How this diary came into the possession of Dr. Blair, of Virginia,
is a mystery, and how it escaped his waste-basket is no less a mystery."
On one occasion, when a young man. Mason F. Cogswell arrived home on Saturday
evening to find his father unable to ])reach the next day, whereupon he took his father's place,
much to the acceptance of the people of Scotland Parish, and that day there was in the audi-
ence a lad ten years old, named James L. Kingslev.
Mrs. C. L. Sigourney, who has been called the " Mrs. Hemans of America," has beauti-
fully embalmed the memory of AiJCE Cogswell in poetrv. She prefaces her lines thus :
ALICE.
"A daughter of the late Dr. Mason F. Cogswell, of Hartford, Conn., who was deprived
of the powers of hearing and speech, cherished so ardent an affection for her father that after
his death she said in her strong language of gesture, ' her heart had so grown to his it could
not be separated.' She was suddenly called in a few days to follow him, and from the abodes
of bliss, where we trust she has obtained a mansion, may we not imagine her thus addressing
the objects of her fondest earthly affection ? "
." Sisters, there 'j ?nusic here,
From countless harps it flows
Throughout this wide, celestial sphere.
Nor pause nor discord knows.
The seal is melted from my ear
By love divine.
And what through life I pined to hear,
Is mine ! is mi tie I
The warbling of an ever-tuneful choir,
And the full, deep response of David's sacred lyre.
Did the kind earth hide from me
Her broken harmony.
That thus the melodies of Heaven might roll.
And ^ whelm in deeper tides of bliss my rapt, my wondering soul? "

located in Slocum Hollow, now Scranton, then removed to Frenchtown, on
the Susquehanna, and in 1808 he made a permanent settlement in Tuscarora,
Bradford Co., in that part of the town now called Silvara. Mr. Cogswell, or
" Uncle Ned," as he was familiarly called, was by trade a miller, but also car-
ried on a farm. He was a man of devoted piety, always happy and rejoicing
18

in the Lord. He would go twenty milts on foot to attend a Methodist Camp
Meeting. On one occasion as he was on his way, some men at work on a
building by the roadside, who thought to puzzle him by a question of experi-
ence, said, " How do you get along with the devil?" He quickly replied,
•' Oh, when I am in the valley, the old fellow overshoots me, and when I am
on the mountain-top he cannot reach me. Glory to God ! " and went on his way
not at all disconcerted.

William Johnson Cogswell was educated in Yale College, but, in conse-
quence of his father's death, left college before graduation. He studied law,
and in 1835 settled in the practice of his profession in Jamaica, Queens Co.,
Long Island, N. Y., where he resided until 1874. In 1853 he transferred his
ofifice to Brooklyn, and continued in active practice there until 1875. He
was County Judge and Surrogate of Queens Co., N. Y. As a churchman
he was greatly interested in the erection of the Diocese of Long Island, and
it was largely owing to his exertions among the parishes of Queens and Suf-
folk Counties that the undertaking was so speedily and successfully accom-
plished. He was a member of the first Standing Committee, and served in
that capacity a number of years. He retired from his professional service,
and was living, in 1884, at the age of eighty-four years, with his daughter, Mrs.
William S. Canfield, whose residence was 97 East ii6th Street, New York.
Mrs. Cogswell was the daughter of a wealthy fanner of Salisbury, Conn.
IWemorantfa.
At the age of eighty-two years Mr. Cogswell wrote : " I held the office of County Judge
and Surrogate of Queens County for a short term, and I have been dubbed Jjtdge and Hon-
orable iox it ever .since ; but I never put much value on the titles. The Cogswells were, and
276
«
still are, a self-reliant race, always filled with the idea that they were as good as anybody, and
that everybody who respected themselves and Ijehaved well were as good as they were, but no
better, whether of high or low degree. They never played toady to men of high station to gain
their favor or notice, but always acted upon the idea ' that worth makes the man, and the want
of it the fellow.' "
Georoc Eldon Cogswell [ 1169 ] was a soldier in the Union Army. He enlisted June, 1862,
in the One Hundred Si.xty-Fifth Regiment New York Second Duryea's Zouaves, was mustered

DAVID C. WHITTLESEY.
"On the morning of Oct. 13, David Chester Whittlesey, of Washington, Conn., was called
to rest, aged eighty years. For many years Mr. Whittlesey has been one of the prominent
men in Litchfield County, and his death deserves more than a passing notice. In the earthly
career of this venerable man there are no materials for an exciting biography. But there is
the power of a single, earnest, considerate life. It is a life that speaks to us by its sincerity
and truthfulness. His strict honesty and accurate knowledge of men and affairs gave him a
wide and favorable acquaintance in the State. As a student of men and business, he had,
perhaps, few^superiors. He was known as a man without guile. Anything like compromise
with wrong, shrewd and unmanly tricks, instead of straightforward methods of accomplishing
certain ends, were abhorrent to all the delicate sensibilities of his moral and spiritual being.
" His religious views were the result of mucli thought and careful inquirv. Whatever was
good in him in spirit and act was the outcome of principle, not impulse. A deep, genuine,
abiding principle controlled him. In all the relations of life he was faithful. He has left the
record of an earnest Christian, a tender and loving husband and father, a faithful friend, a
sympathizing and obliging neighbor. His memory lingers with precious fragrance in the hearts
of the people with whom he lived, and especially in the hearts of his kindred. While he
abode in the flesh he strove to walk with God, and now, ' he is not, for God took him.' Such
a life is of great value to every church and community where it is lived, and such a death, in
which there is no fear, is another demonstration, both of the value of religion, and of its effi-
cacy in that hour which must soon come to us all."
Dr. Orlando Brown married Martha P. Whittlesey, and settled in Wrenthani, Mass. He

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Dixon was a lady of large fortune, rare attainments,
and great personal attractions. It is said that Hon. Richard Spofford once
remarked ; '" Mrs. Dixon was the most accomplished lady I have ever seen in
Washington." Others have spoken of her as " a handsome, amiable, and
accomplished woman of much natural power and ambition." To Mrs. Dixon's
parties came the best people in Washington. Donald G. Mitchell dedicated
to Mrs. Dixon his "Reveries of a Bachelor."
HON. JAMES DIXON.

State as Representative in 1837, 1838, 1844, and 1854. He was elected to
the House of Representatives in Congress in 1845, and re-elected in 1847.
He was chosen to the United States Senate in 1856, and re-elected in 1862,
serving two terms. Mr. Dixon was a man of much culture, a graceful writer,
and able in debate. He was an editorial contributor to the Hartford Courant.
Mr. Dixon left a large estate, estimated at nearly a million of dollars. By his
death the people of Connecticut reasonably felt that they had lost a much
needed adviser in State affairs, and a citizen who, long and often trusted with
their public interests, was always true to his best belief. Hon. James Dixon
was a man of kindly and genial nature. He was of a fine and sensitive tem-
perament. His head and face made one of the finest studies ever seen in the
Senate Chamber of the United States. He was the author of poems of much
merit which were published in the New England Magazine, and in other journals.

Senaior Dixon and his accomplished wife made their elegant homes, in
Washington and in Hartford, inviting to men and women of literary culture
and pursuits. They were noted for their many acts of Christian charity, and
for the warm personal interest they manifested in the welfare of the churches
of which they were members, both in Hartford and in Washington.

of the age. He did not cling to old-time theories, but admitted the changes
going on, and was quick to see the wants of the community. The following

Cogswell ' will be fragrant in the minds and affections of his townsmen for
many years to come. His influence for the good and lasting welfare of the

ARTHUR ORCUTT JAMESON, A. B.
Arthur Orcutt Jameson, son of Rev, and Mrs Jameson, was born in
Concord, N. H. He pursued his studies in the public schools until fourteen
years of age. In the autumn of 1873, he entered the Roxbury Latin School
in preparation for college. He completed the course in four years, and gradu-
ated in 1877, holding the first rank in his class. Always a thoughtful and
conscientious boy, at the age of sixteen years he recognized by his own
public act the consecration which his parents had made of him to the Lord
in infancy, and Nov. 7, 1875, united with the First Church of Christ in Med-
way, Mass. His character and life as a Christian, combined with fine scholar-
ship and great modesty of manner, won respect and made his influence
commanding. He was admitted in 1877 to Harvard College. On his entrance
examination he received honors in Latin, Greek, and Mathematics, and com-
menced his college course, Sept. 27, 1877. At the end of the first year he
was accounted highest in rank and awarded the first Detiir. At the close of
his college course he received " Summos Hotiofes in Linguis Antiquis^^^ and
graduated the first scholar in the class, June 29, 1881. Soon after graduation
he received the appointment of Teacher of Classics and Mathematics in the
Arnold School. New York City. But when about to assume this position,
after a brief illness, he was called to a higher service. He died at the age
of twenty-one years, Sept. 30, 1881. His burial took place in Blossom Hill
Cemetery of his native city. Concord, N. H. His last resting place is a lovely
spot, overlooking the place of his birth, the church of his childhood, and the
waters of the Merrimac, upon whose banks much of his boyhood was spent.
The sad throbbings of a mother's heart upon the death of her eldest child
and only surviving son find expression in the lines of the sweet poet, Faber :
" But the eldest ! O Father! /icnu glorious he was,
With the soul looking out through his fountain-like eyes :
Thou lovest Thy Sole-born ! And had I not cause,
7'he treasure Thou gavest me. Father ! to prize ?
" Thou hast honored my child by the speed of Thy choice,
Thou hast crowned him ivith glory, d' ej'whelmed him with mirth :
He sings up in heaven with his sweet-sounding voice.
While I, a sainfs mother, am weeping on earth.
" Yet oh for that voice, which is thrilling through heaven.
One mo?nent my ears with its music to slake !
Oh no ! not for worlds would I have him regiven,
Yet I long to have back what I would not retake.
" Go, go with thy God, with tliv Saviour, my child !
Thou art His ; I am His ; and thy sisters are His :
But to-day thy fond mother with sorrcnv is wild !
To think that her son is an angel in bliss !
" Oh forgive me, dear Saviour I on heaven's bright shore
Should I still in my child find a separate joy :
While [lie in the light of Thy face evermore.
May I think heaven brighter because of my boy ?"
353
The following is an extract from remarks made at the funeral service by
Rev. R. K. Harlow, of Medway, Mass. :
" And now at this interruption of his earthly life we reverently pause and
ask, What virtues has it made emphatic? What lessons has it taught us?
" Most conspicuous among his virtues we would mention his faithfulness ;
duty was his king. And next we mention modesty, that made him win and
wear his honors with consummate grace ; and then a native kindliness that
made his friendships deep and tender, and filled his soul with charity, ' that
thinketh no evil.' And then purity of thought and deed, that stamped its
credentials on his clear, honest face, and over all an unobtrusive piety, that
graced and softened his whole being. He has taught us all how to put value
into our living and hope into our death.
"He has taught these college friends especially that it is possible to live
amongst temptation and conquer it. He has emphasized the fact that schol-
arship and politeness suit well together, and that culture and piety have no
antagonisms. He has refuted the too commonly accepted college opinion, that
religion and stupidity are boon companions, by coupling the most brilliant
scholarship with a sincere piety. Is not this a most worthy record ? Has not
his life done something for the world ?
" And so with these comforting memories of his life we carry our thoughts
beyond this sad and strange present into the future.
" We believe that our dear young friend has entered into God's rest ; his
life of purity and conscientiousness and fidelity and consecration, his thorough
goodness in all the relations of life, leave us no room for doubt that the gates
of the city of God were glad to open for his incoming, and that the Master
whom he served gave him a hearty welcome, ^E?iter thou into the Joy of thy
Lord: "
From the numerous letters of sympathy received by the afflicted family, the
following was from Rev. George A. Gordon, then of Greenwich, Conn., after-
wards called to the pastorate of the Old South Church, Boston, Mass. :
"Greenwich, Oct. 8, 1881.
" Mr. and Mrs. Jameson :
'■^ Dear afflicted, though tiiiknmvii Friends, — I have just learned with deep sorrow of the
death of my admired and much respected classmate, Arthur Orcutt Jameson. I am so
much pained and shocked by the sad news that I cannot forbear offering you my sincere and
sorrowful sympathy in your great grief. Mr. Jameson and myself had in part the same elec-
tive studies for two years, and from what I saw of him, in the classroom and elsewhere, I had
acquired a profound admiration for his scholarship, and an affectionate appreciation of his
elevated and manly character. I was always deeply interested in him, and so knew him much
better than he knew me. His memory is and will be to me a constant inspiration in thought,
principle, character, and devotion. In accuracy and comprehensiveness of intellect, and in
rational power of acquisition, I never knew his superior, scarcely his equal. At this moment,
as I think of his massive and serene face, now still in death, I am burdened with a personal
sorrow, and cannot but feel ^ How is tJie strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod.''
" Yours, with great respect and true sympathy,
" Geo. a. Gordon."

Henry Hezekiah Cogswell was born on the 12th of April, 1776, in
Cornwallis, Kings Co., N. S. He had the advantage of being able to complete
his education at the University of King's College, Windsor. This institution,
founded by a provincial grant in 1788, and endowed in 1802 by George HI.
with a Royal Charter, is stated in its yearly calendar to be the first British
University established in the Dominion. Its patron is the Archbishop of
Canterbury, but it is open to students of all denominations, and imposes no
religious test in any faculty, with the exception of Divinity. The name of the
Cogswell family appears on its list of members for three generations.
While at the university, Mr. Cogswell received much encouragement,
always afterwards gratefully acknowledged, from Professor the Rev. William
Cochran, D. D., a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, with whom he formed
a personal friendship which lasted during their lives, and was continued in the
lives of their children.
From college Mr. Cogswell proceeded to Halifax, and studied law under
two leading practitioners in succession. He was offered a commission in the
army by the Duke of Kent, then commander of the Royal forces in Nova
Scotia, but respectfully declined, and in due course was admitted to the Bar,
Oct. 10, 1798. For a few years he was associated in business with Hon.
Richard J. Uniacke, in whose office he had studied his profession, and who
from 1795 to 1807 was Attorney-General for Nova Scotia.
Upon the favorable suggestion of Hon. Sampson S. Blowers, Chief Justice
of Nova Scotia, Mr. Cogswell was appointed, Jan. 18, 1812, Deputy Provincial
Secretary for the Province of Nova Scotia. During the American War of
1812-1814, money flowed freely through the Halifax law courts, and he
improved the opportunity to lay the foundation of a fortune which in process
of time accumulated to large proportions. In this he was not altogether sin-
gular, though many, as usual on such occasions, acted as if they imagined the
golden stream was going to flow on forever. Some years later it occurred to
him that there was a want of a joint stock bank in Halifax, the banking busi-
ness having been thus far conducted without concert by private individuals.

THE HON. HENRY H, COGSWELL.

In 1825, at his persuasion, seven noted capitalists were induced to join him in
founding the Halifax Banking Company, among the partners being Samuel
CuNARD, a large ship-owner, and the future mail contractor of world-wide
celebrity. The others were yohn Clark, Joseph Allison, William Pryor, jFames
Tobin, Efios Collins, and Martin Gay Black. How the enterprise fared was
long a mystery to the public, but at length the truth got abroad that the
profits partook of the "fabulous," and as a consequence "the old bank" has
now many flourishing rivals. Mr. Cogswell was chosen the first President,
and that office he continued to hold until his death in 1854.
We find it recorded in Murdoch, that in 18 18 Mr. Cogswell was returned
at the head of the poll as member for Halifax, and escaped the usual honor of
a chairing by pleading as an excuse the recent loss of a child, apparently John,
the third son, who died at an early age. In 1824 he was appointed Registrar
in the Court of Chancery, which position he held until 1829. The next step
in promotion was his elevation to the rare and coveted honor of a seat in the
Legislative Council, in 183 1. It was during his connection with that body that
a long-continued agitation against its constitution proved finally successful.
]\Ir. Cogswell continued to take a warm interest in objects of public utility,
and in particular was a prominent supporter of the scheme for constructing a
railroad from Halifax to Quebec. This great work, now long accomplished,
was for many years regarded as all but hopeless, on account of the financial
difficulties in the way. In thinking over these it occurred to him that if the
Provinces were deficient in money, they possessed the reality of wealth in the
shape of vast tracts of ungranted land, and he proposed that five millions of
acres along the intended line should be appropriated as security for a loan.
This plan immediately took a strong hold on the public mind, but it conflicted
with rival schemes, and no progress was made with the railroad until after the
confederation of the Provinces, when it was completed out of the general
revenue. But the idea survived, and has been since applied on the largest
scale in the continuation of the line to the Pacific. His views were published
in a pamphlet in 1852.
Mr. Cogswell died Nov, 9, 1854, in his family mansion on Argyle Street,
Halifax, N. S., at the age of seventy-eight. He had been long in failing
health, having suffered much affliction from the loss of his wife and several of
his children. As his end approached he expressed a hope that he might be
spared the trial of a protracted illness, and his desire was granted. His
remains were interred in the family enclosure at the Camp Hill Cemetery,
the site being marked by a monument of native granite sculptured with the
emblematic scallop shells.
Mrs. Isabella (Ellis) Cogswell was the daughter of Rev. William Ellis,
Rector of Windsor, N. S. This gentleman's history is one of those romances
in real life of which the annals of colonization afford so many examples.
He was the son of a Master in Chancery in Ireland, and taking some
oiTence at the division of the paternal estate among the heirs, gave up every-
thing, and resolved on emigrating as a missionary to Nova Scotia. He was
388
ordained Deacon and Priest by the Bishop of London in 1774, and crossed
the Atlantic with his wife, leaving children behind them. His daughter Isabella
was born at Windsor, the only child of the new home. She never saw brother
or sister. That Mr. Ellis had been a man of some good settled position in
Ireland would appear from the personal effects he and his wife brought with
them, some of which are still preserved as heirlooms, including rich brocade
dresses, and articles of plate and jewelry engraved with a "Dolphin" crest.
Of curious interest are a lock of hair, and a gold ring with the two sides slid-
ing on each other, and so contrived that when they are brought together the
mounting represents a "hand in hand." They were merely wrapped in a
paper with thewTiting on it: " Flora Macdonald's hair and ring." How they
came into the possession of the family is unknown, but Isabella Ellis used to
speak of the ring as one of several given by Charles Edward to Flora Mac-
donald for distribution among his adherents.
Nine children were the offspring of the marriage, of whom three died in
childhood. Six reached maturity, and only one was living in 1884, Charles
Cogswell, M. D. 11539], of London. Of those who grew up to adult
estate, some were well known to a public that may possibly turn with peculiar
interest to this part of the volume for the sake of old memories.
Henry Ellis Cogswell was born in 1806, and at the proper age was
sent to the Halifax Grammar School, then, or soon after, presided over by
the Rev. Dr. Twining, whose labors in another field as Garrison Chaplain are
commemorated in the memoir of Headley Vicars. When duly prepared he
matriculated at King's College, where he was an ardent and successful student.
But his lot was cast in the pre sanitary days of "all work and no play," and
his health had early begun to suffer from over-devotion to brain work. After
taking his degree, he studied law in his father's office, but was cut off in his
twenty-second year, before completing his term for admission to the bar. " A
YOUTH OF great PROMISE." Such is his brief epitaph, written on the last
page of Murdoch's history of Nova Scotia.
Isabella Binney Cogswell. The name of this lady was for many years
a household word in Halifax. Her noble life may be regarded as one of the
blessed results of her brother William's ministry, and as one of the most
remarkable examples of the Evangelical revival. The Lord Bishop of the
Diocese, after her death quoted the following words of Christ as applicable to
her in every respect : " I was an himgercd, and ye gave me meat ; I was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink ; I was a stranger, and ye took me in ; naked, and ye clothed
me ; I was sick, and ye visited tne ; I was in prison, and ye came unto me." To
the hungry and thirsty she gave food and drink; to the worn with toil, or
enfeebled by age, or saddened with affiiction, or straitened in circumstances,
she gave sympathy and relief. She visited the prison to counsel, to pray with,
to befriend, the depraved and the criminal. Her constant attendance on the
sick and dying prematurely exhausted her strength, and after fourteen nights
spent in nursing a friend's family, she was in the grasp of a dangerous illness.
Prayers were offered for her recovery by every religious denomination in Hal-
389
ifax, but it pleased God to end the life of his faithful servant, and she was laid
to rest amid the grief of the entire community. She had borne a chief part in
founding the Orphans" Home, the Boys' Industrial School, the Girls'
Industrial School, and the Home for the Aged. In her will it was found
she had made a provision towards their maintenance after her decease. A
memorial font has been placed in the church once gladdened with her |)resence
and worship. On the base of this memorial font is this inscription :

Mrs. Anne (Cogswell) Morton in person was medium size. She had
clear blue eyes, a broad but rather low forehead, which are characteristic fea-
tures of the descendants of her father, Mason Cogswell. She was a discreet,
witty, and a fine-looking lady. Some one said of her, " I know of no woman
who so nearly comes up to the standard of Solomon's description, ' She looketh
well to the ways of her household.^ " There were few specimens of useful or
fancy work then known in which she did not instruct her daughters. She
enjoyed with them, and encouraged their reading of sound literary and religious
books, and gave them an example which they could never forget. Her memory
is blessed.
HON. JOHN MORTON.
Hon. John Morton, who married Anne Cogszaell, descended from an
English family, whose ancient homestead, dating 1300, was near Blackburn,
England. His earliest ancestor in this country was George Morton, who came
over in 1623 in the ship "Anne."
Mr. Morton's father, Lemuel Morton, was born Jan. 20, 1754, and died in
1810. His mother, Martha Newcomb, was born Oct. 12, 1760, and was the
first female child born among the colonists after their settlement in Nova
Scotia. She died Feb. 11, 1838. He was of excellent parentage, and had
good religious instruction. In early manhood he gave attention to agriculture,
and for several years had the oversight of his grandfather's farm ; subse-
quently, he purchased a tract of uncleared land, and with woodman's axe and
manly perseverance he laid low the primeval forests and brought under cul-
tivation many wide acres near the head waters of the Cornwallis River, not
far from the present 'town of Berwick, N. S. ; afterwards, he sold his new-
made farm in the wilderness, and in 1815 built a new house near where his
grandfather had lived.
Mr. Morton joined the local militia in 18 10, with the commission of Captain.
He gradually rose in command, until in 1835 he was appointed Lieutenant-
Colonel of the Sixth Regiment. In 1827 he was chosen to represent Corn-
wallis in the Provincial Parliament in Halifax. He was appointed by the
Provincial Government, in 1835, Justice of the Peace for Kings Co., and
accepted the office of Commissioner of Sewers and Dykes. In 1840 he was
appointed by Her Majesty the Queen to the Legislative Council of the Prov-
ince of Nova Scotia.
The warrant was given in the following quaint form :
392
"To our right trusty and well-beloved Councillor Charles Poulett Thomson, our Captain
General and Governor in Chief in and over our Province of Nova Scotia, or in his absence
to our Lieut. Governor, or the officer administering the affairs of our said Province for the
time being." "Victoria Reg."
" Right trusty and well-beloved councillor, we greet you well. We, being well satisfied of
the loyalty, integrity, and ability of our trusty and well beloved John Morton, Esquire, have
thought hereby to signify our will and pleasure : that forthwith upon the receipt of these
jjresents you swear and admit him, the said John Morton, to be of our Legislative Council of
our Province of Nova Scotia, and for so doing this shall be your warrant. Given at our
Court at I'uckingham Palace, this 23d day of May, 1840, in the third year of our reign.
" By her Majesty's command.
(Signed) "J. Russell."
"John Morton, Esquire, to be of the Legislative Council, Nova Scotia."
In 1846, he was commissioned by Lord Falkland, then Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor at Halifax, as Keeper of the Rolls, for his native township. He was
an influential owner and director of the Western Stage Coach, the Cornwallis
Bridge, and the Electric Telegraph Companies. In all these varied services
of public office he was characterized as most genial, manly, and faithful. He
enjoyed the public confidence, and was popular and well supported by the
good opinions and votes of those among whom he was called to exercise
authority. His rule was not to dispute with political opponents, and the oppo-
nent of to-day became his warm supporter by the to-morrow.
As a member of legislative bodies, his discussions of public topics were
able and persuasive. While in attendance on Legislative Session in Halifax,
he suffered from inflammation of the lungs, and died March 3, 1858, at the
residence of his son.
Monumental Tablets in the Cemetery of the First Presbyterian Church,
Cornwallis, tell the place of Hon. John and Mrs. Anne Morton's sepulture.
"De Mortuis nil nisi konum."
Hon. John Mortofi gave name to that jiart of Cornwallis in which he lived. He called
it "The Upper Dyke Village," in allusion to the first dyke erected by the French. The
name still remains to designate the gathered dwellings visible in all directions from the site
of the original homestead of Hezekiah Cogswell [ 193 ], the grandfather of Mrs. Morton.
George E. Morton, Esq., son of Hon. John and Mrs. Anne (Cogswell) Morton, married
the eldest daughter of Lieut. Christian C. and Martha (Prescott) Katzman. Lieut. Katzman
was of the Si.xticth Regiment. Mrs. Morton was of New England descent, daughter of John
Prescott, of Maroon Hall, Preston, N. S. Mr. Morton was a publisher, and engaged in liter-
ary ]nnsuits. He published "The Provincial Magazine," "Guide to Halifax," "Guide to
Cape Hreton, with Maps, etc." Their children were: Anne, b. Dec. 13, 1850, d. March 29,
1855; Charles Cogswell, b. Aug. 14, 1852. He resided in Halifax, N. S., and was a bookseller.
Isabel Ellis Morton married Rev. William Thomas Wishart. He was born June 9,
1809, ''^ lidinburgh, Scotland. His father was a lawyer. Rev. Mr. Wishart was educated in
the High School and the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. Having completed his studies
be travelled widely in other countries. He arrived in Nova Scotia in 1839, and w'as married
to Miss Morton in the autumn of the same year, having previously become the Pastor of the
393
Presbyterian Church in Shelburne, N. S. After two years of faithful ministration he was
called and settled as Pastor of the St. Stephen's Church, in St. John, N. B. At the end of
five years his studies and investigations had brought about some change in his theological
views and in his interpretation of certain passages of the Scriptures, which differed from the
church to which he belonged. These church standards rendered his separation from it imper-
ative, which was accordingly effected, although unwillingly, as was evident on both sides. A
large part of his congregation, placing a high value on his teachings and being in sympathy
with his views, immediately provided a place of meeting in the Mechanics' Institute, where he
continued his services until his death, having the hearty support of a large and intelligent con-
gregation. Mr. Wishart died Jan. 12, 1853. He left no children. Mrs. Wishart subsequently
resided at Briarwold, Cornwallis, N. S. In 1S46, at the recpiest of many of his parishioners
and friends. Rev. Mr. Wishart published a volume giving his theological views somewhat in
detail. This book was entitled "■Theological Essays.''' Shortly after his lamented death there
was issued a volume embracing six lectures, which he had prepared to deliver to his people.
This was published in 1853, ^''"^ '^'^^ called ^^ Lectures on Theology. ''' He also published a
critical essay entitled "The Literature of the Nineteenth Centtiry," which was well received.
Lydia Morton, who married Edward Z. Lydiard, Esq., died, leaving five sons and one
daughter. The daughter soon after also died.
Martha Ann Morton married John E. Forsyth, M. D. They had three sons and two
daughters. Dr. Forsyth died June 27, 1S72.
Lemuel James Morton, Esq., was a Director of Halifax Banking Company, having retired
from his business as a Druggist.
Maroon Hall, Preston, N. S., the residence of IJeut. Christian C. Katzman, on his retire-
ment from the army, was formerly the residence of the Superintendent of the Maroons.
Tlic Maroons were originally African slaves located in the highlands of Jamaica. In 1796
they were brought to Halifax with the idea that they would be useful laborers, but they jjroved
stubborn and lazy, so that it became necessai-y to remove them, and they were sent by Govern-
ment vessels to Africa in 1800. They are no longer found here, or in Jamaica, and not heard
of even in Africa.

COL. SAMUEL SPARKS FISFIER.
Samuel Sparks Fisher was the eldest child of Dr. James C. and Eliza Smith (Sparks)
Fisher. He was born in Centreville, Mich., but his childhood was spent in New York City,
his father being Professor of Chemistry in the University of New York. His school life was
passed in Philadelphia. He graduated in 1851 from the High School of that city at the head
of his class. After teaching a year or two, Mr. Fisher studied law in Cincinnati, Ohio, where
he was admitted to the bar and commenced practice about 1S56. He made Patent I^aw a
specialty, and won eminence. Judge I'.latchford, of New York, once remarked in open court
that Mr. Fisher was "the best Patent lawyer in the United States." Mr. Fisher served in the
Union Army as Colonel of the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Regiment of Ohio National
Guards. Under President Grant he was Commissioner of Patents. When his term of ser-
vice expired he returned to his law practice in Cincinnati, which became large and lucrative.
Li 1S72 he formed a partnership with Gen. Samuel A. Duncan, and they had a branch office
in New York City under Gen. Duncan's charge. Early in his professional life Mr. Fisher
had entered upon a Christian life. He united with the Second Presbyterian Church of
Cincinnati in 1S56, his uncle. Rev. Samuel W. Fisher, D. D., being the pastor. He was for
many years active in a Mission Sabbath School called the "Olivet Mission," in the western
part of Cincirmati, and an earnest worker in the church and in the cause of temperance.
Mr. Fisher married Aurelia S. Crossette, daughter of Rev. Robert and Dorothea Crossette.

Robert James, b. Oct. 16, 1863, d. Aug. 14, 1S74 ; Samuel Hurbert, b. May 26, 1867. The
circumstances of Col. Fisher's death and that of his little son were most touching. He and his
little boy, Robbie, during the summer vacation, were making a boat excursion down the .Sus-
quehanna River, and at a point called Conewago Falls, about fifteen miles below Harrisburg,
they lost control of their boat in the rapids, were carried over the falls and both drowned,
Aug. 14, 1874. And thus ended the life of a most brilliant and useful man in the midst of
his days. l"id. In Memoriam Samuel S. Fisher.
"Afar down the beautiful river.
Together went father and son;
Day by day speeding Joyously oinvard.
Till nearly their journey was done.
"Ajtd later, a boat, bruised and broken,
Lay empty and wreci»d-near the shore.
Too truly the sad story telling,
That father and son were no more."

" Maria Cogswell was the only daughter of Samuel and Mary {Backus)
Cogswell. Her father was a merchant, residing in the town of Lansingburg,
Rensselaer Co., N. Y. While yet an infant, having seen scarcely more than a
week of life, a terrible tragedy, the result of what we call accident, but which
was purely a mysterious and inscrutable Providence, the unintentional discharge
of a loaded gun, in the hand of an intimate and valued friend, in a moment
bereaved Maria of a loving father, and prematurely made her mother a deeply
afflicted widow. The suddenness of the blow, under the trying circumstances
in which it occurred, almost bereft the young mother of reason. But the force
of a nature of singular strength and fortitude, and sustained by the power of
an unquestioning faith in the goodness of a covenant-keeping God, carried
her through the trying ordeal. After two years, the hand of the widow was
sought and won by an early lover, Rev. Ebenezer Fitch, the first President
of Williams College. He became to Maria a most tender and loving parent,
supplying as far as it was possible by gentle ministrations and assiduous
culture and instructions, the place of her natural father. Under such care
and cultivation, Maria developed not only a singularly graceful and beautiful
person, but a graceful and vigorous intellect, choosing instinctively the most
instructive as well as the most elevating and inspiring authors of the day, and
drawing not from the too often shallow fountains, which distinguish much of
400
the literature of our times, but from the standard English classics, who them-
selves drew from the deeper, purer 'wells of English undefiled.' Under such
influences she grew up to early girlhood, loving all things beautiful and bright,
and entering with eager zest upon the somewhat larger life which was opened
to her, when at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she made a visit to her
mother's sister, Mrs. Gen. Joseph Kirkland, of Utica, N. Y., who then and
during her life formed a bright and attractive feature of the social and reli-
gious circles of Central New York.
" Miss Cogswell was now in the first blush and freshness of early woman-
hood. Most attractive in person and in mind, she speedily drew around her,
by the fascination of her manner and the brilliancy of her wit, a host of ardent,
admiring friends, who were ready to avow their sentiments of knightly devo-
tion or more sober regard. After rejecting many alluring, and in a worldly
sense, most advantageous offers of marriage, her young affections at length
centred upon one well worthy of her love, and at the age of twenty she was
affianced to Major Douglas W. Sloane, of Williamstown, Mass. He came of
good lineage, being the only son of Gen. Samuel Sloane of Revolutionary
stock, and the owner of a large and valuable real estate in that region and the
neighboring town. For his son, he built at Williamstown, on a beautiful site,
opposite the college edifices, what for that day, and indeed now, is a large
and noble mansion. On its completion Douglas Sloane, with his youthful
bride, took possession of this house. There they spent many happy years in
easy competence, and all of their eight children were born and reared in a
model New England home, under all the desirable and blessed influences
which such a home imparts. In 1834 they left Williamstown, and removed
to Cleveland, Ohio. From the first, Mrs. Sloane took a high position in the
social and religious life of that then young city. She entered with character-
istic zeal and enthusiasm into every good work and benevolent enterprise,
originating the Maternal Association, the effort to rescue and raise the fallen
in the Magdalen Association, and co-operating cheerfully and most helpfully
in every organized effort to instruct the ignorant, help the poor and depressed,
and elevate the standard of social and religious life. With warm sympathies,
she was singularly independent and outspoken in her opinions, and unyielding
in her views of what she esteemed to be right and in accord with Christian
duty and principle. During her residence in Cleveland she passed through
deep domestic afflictions. Death invaded the devoted family circle, and four
lovely and gifted daughters and her only son, a noble, promising young man
of twenty years, were one after the other taken from her. Bereavement and
sorrow culminated in the death of her husband. She bore up under it all,
with the most heroic fortitude, and was ever ready to say, ' The Lord gave,
and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord.'' After her hus-
band's death she divided her time between her two remaining daughters. She
died on the 9th of Jan., 1870, in the city of New York, at the age of seventy-
eight. She departed after a brief illness, in great peace and quietness, after a
life of many vicissitudes, but of eminent usefulness, all life's duties and
401
responsibilities courageously, nobly, and trustfully met, in the assured hope
of a blessed immortality. She lives still even here in her many works of
benevolence, piety, and love, and in the unfading memories of her surviving
children and the friends that knew and loved her."
'^ So fades a siunmer cloud away,
So sinks the gale whoi storms are o'er,
So gently shuts f/ie eye of day,
So dies the wave along the shore."
HON. DOUGLAS WHEELER SLOANE.
'■'■Douglas W. Sloane graduated in 1803, from Williams College, Mass., and
studied law for three years in the Litchfield Law School. He was remarkable
for his tall, elegant person and courtly manners. His sense of honor and of
integrity was high and undeviating. Besides the practice of law, Mr. Sloane
was appointed by the United States Government, Receiver of Moneys. This
office he held at the time of his death. His religious life was pure and con-
stant. He died trusting and rejoicing in 'Him in whom he believed.'"

the maturity of his disciplined powers, regarding all that went bef9re as but
the preparation for its sacred responsibilities. He died July 24, i860, in his
own home on Green Bank, Burlington, N. J., after a singularly busy life, in
which he won the confidence and affection of the whole church to a very
unusual degree. A volume of his ' Essays and Discourses, Historical and

of his native town. He was a student of law in the office of Hon. Samuel
Beardsley, Esq., Member of Congress, and was admitted to the practice of
law in the various courts of the State about 1830. He was elected Attorney
for the city of Utica in 1832, at its organization of a city government, and
filled this position for six years. He was elected Representative to the Thirty-
first Congress from the Twentieth District of New York, Nov. 7, 1848. He rep-
resented the same District in the Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, and Thirty fifth

of the Cheap Postage Bill, which passed with some slight modifications. Aug.
7, 1856, he delivered a speech upon The Presidential Question and Kansas
Affairs. On his return from Washington his constituents invited him to a
Public Reception in recognition of noble service to "Free speech, Free soil,
and Free men." But this he declined. He was nominated for Mayor of the
city, but did not wish the office. Hon. Wm. H. Seward, who was his intimate
friend, on hearing of this wrote to Mr. Matteson under date of March 9, 1865 :
" The people of Utica were wise in nominating you, and you even wiser in
declining. I congratulate you." When Mr. Matteson was first nominated
for Congress the Democratic party had 1,400 majority in his district. When
he retired from the office the Republicans had a majority of 3,500 votes. At

"Between the years 1787 and 1850, there lived in the United States and
Canada two clergymen of the same name and lineage, animated by the same
spirit, and teaching the same doctrine, and yet of whom it is not known that
513
either was aware of the other's existence. They were the Rev. William Cogs-
well, D. D. [411], already mentioned in these pages, and the Rev. William
Cogswell, M. A., who began and finished his ministry as a Curate of St. Paul's
Church in Halifax, N. S. He with whom we are at present concerned was
born in Halifax, in 1809, educated in the Halifax Grammar School, and in
King's College, Windsor, N. S. He then travelled in Europe, but his affection
for his native Province was increased instead of lessened by all he saw. He
was ever a ready champion for the land of his birth, and at the time when he
lived it was well to have Nova Scotians with courage to assert the merits and
resources of their own country, not always recognized even by those who should
have been most keenly and proudly awake to them. On returning home he
married Eleanor, daughter of the Hon. Andrew Belcher, formerly a member
of the Council of Nova Scotia, and the only male representative of the New
England family of that name distinguished in the history of Massachusetts.
Being appointed Curate of St. Paul's Church under the venerable Archdeacon
Willis, he soon attracted a large congregation by his evangelical preaching, and
by the affectionate zeal for the spiritual welfare of his flock, which evidently
inspired every word of his eloquent discourses. There he continued, with
intervals of travel to recruit his health, until his death at the age of thirty-seven
years, after fourteen years of earnest labor in the church. The present incum-
bent of the church in which he ministered is the Rev. G. W. Hill, D. C. L., who
has enriched the literature of his country with many valuable contributions.
In a lecture on ' Nova Scotia and Nova Scotians,' published in 1858, due
honor is paid in graceful words to the memory of the Rev. William Cogswell :
' His piety and talents were known abroad ; his influence and usefulness
in Halifax, his birthplace, are felt to the present hour ; his published sermons
and lectures have been read and reviewed in England. Cut off at the early
age of thirty-seven, William Cogswell's memory is embalmed in the heart of
many a one converted to God through his faithful preaching of the Gospel.' "

"James Colquhoun Cogswell, youngest son of Hon. Henry H. Cogswell
[ 931 1, displayed marked ability in the preparatory schools of Halifax, and in
King's College, Windsor, N. S. He was admitted to the roll of Barristers, on
April 19, 1842. Mr. Cogswell had by inheritance gifts of wit and satirical
humor, pleasantly combined with his rare intellectual powers. He was not
indisposed to bring into exercise the use of his abilities amid the bustle and
battle of his young life, whenever suitable opportunity or occasion offered.
He was among the contributors to the periodical press of the day, in which
rival parties were wont to find expression in the defence or advocacy of their
diverse political principles. He held an able and ready pen in the combat
with opponents, as well as a facile pencil for caricature, whereby the noisy
pretensions of demagogues were made ridiculous, and their selfishness exposed
515
as prejudicial to the interests and the welfare of his native country. To this
propensity for satire by ' cuts ' he yielded so far as to permit its indulgence
even in the law courts, and the headquarters of the law makers, the legislative
halls. His embodied, but transformed sarcasm, in the shape of clever car-
toons, was not unknown even to the victims, the subjects of his sketches, and
the junior judge or the budding legislator was each compelled to smile at
the pictured exposure of his own weak points, as the multitude has learned
more recently to do at the pictorial squibs of Grip and Puck, which expose the
habit of political self-seeking by all sorts and conditions of men. Mr. Cogs-
well became a leading citizen of his native city, happy in his good estate, inde-
pendent in all the aspects of social life, conscientious in his religious princi-
ples, generous to the demands of charity, and an active Warden of the Parish
Church. The immediate cause of Mr. Cogswell's death was an accident on
board the Cunard steamship China, which occurred May 3, 1867, on his return
voyage from England to Halifax. A heavy sea broke over the ship and threw
him heavily across the deck, with fatal result."

Restless, his native shores they stveep.

"Departed this life, Charleston, S. C, on the 14th of January, 1833, ^fter a short but
severe illness, Mr. Harvey Cogswell, of the firm of H. Cogswell & Co., Merchants of this
city, in the thirty-fourth year of his age. Seldom has the uncertainty of life been more
strongly illustrated than in the decease of our departed friend. . . . Mr. Cogswell was for
the last eleven years a resident of this city. Of the most active and enterprising disposition,
early inured to habits of industry, few persons in our community have acquired or sustained
a higher or fairer reputation for promptitude, activity, and integrity in business, or secured at
the same age a stronger or deeper hold on the regard and esteeni of his acc[uaintances. In
all the various relations of life, as a citizen, friend, husband, father, he has left behind him
a character worthy of all praise. May the recollection of his many virtues, and the hope
that his immortal spirit has fled to brighter scenes and more lasting joys, soften this stroke of
affliction to his bereaved widow and fatherless children, and the golden links of friendship
severed by his death be reunited in another and better world."

in a letter to a friend she wrote as follows :
" My nephew has got a great craze about the Genealogy of the Cogswell
Family, and as I am the last one living of my father's family, I have had a
great deal to think of and relate in regard to traditions and reminiscences of
old times. It is a notable fact that where my nephew, W. L. Nichols, now
lives, and where we are now staying, is the old Cogswell neighborhood and
homestead, purchased by them May 15, 1762. The country around here is
very pleasant and lovely, and these Berkshire Hills seem more so to me, as my
ancestry trod the same soil, breathed the same mountain air, saw the same
surroundings. The same wild flowers bloomed for them, the same mountain
springs bubbled forth their volumes of lively water for my ancestry, one hun-
dred and twenty-one years ago."

HENRY DANIEL COGSWELL.
[ 1656 ]
Henry Daniel^ Cogswell, {George Washington'', Amos^, Benjamiiv',
Joshua^, Samuel'^, JohiP', yohu^), son of George Washington" [1026]
and Polly (Dimmick) Cogswell, was born March 3, 1820, in Tolland,
Conn. He married, Dec. 7, 1846, Caroline E. Richards, daughter of
Reuel and Laura (Paine) Richards. She was born Feb. 19, 1822, in
Providence, R. I. They resided No. 319 Broadway, San Francisco,
Cal. They had no children.
Henry Daniel Cogswell in early boyhood was slender in form, but of
elastic muscle and active brain. His mother died when he was eight years
old. His father soon after removed to the State of New York, leaving him in
the care of his grandparents. They, however, soon after died, and Henry
Daniel was thrown upon the wide world to look out for himself. He had
not the means sufficient to join his father in the State of New York. But
young as he was, he took in the situation, and set about earning a living and
making his fortune. He found employment in a cotton factory, by his little
earnings paid his way at school, and with some very friendly assistance, at the
age of eighteen years, he had acquired an education sufficient to teach a com-
mon district school. A few years later he studied dentistry in Providence, R. I.
He commenced its practice in Pawtucket, and afterward, in 1847, opened an
office in Providence, R. I. When gold was discovered in California, Dr. Cogs-
well was among the first to embark for the gold region. He sailed May 9,
1849, taking along with him quite a little stock of merchandise. Upon his
arrival he sold his goods to advantage, and soon was established in the prac-
tice of his profession in San Francisco. Mrs. Cogswell joined him in 185 1.
The next thirty years devoted to his profession, and somewhat to business,
with its successes and its reverses, placed Dr. Cogswell among the millionnaires
of the Pacific coast. Dr. and Mrs. Cogswell, in 187 1, visited Europe, and
spent four years in travel in foreign lands. After their return Dr. Cogswell
was very busy in caring for his property, and in distributing large gifts in the
form of endowments for permanent institutions. He founded the Dental
College, of San Francisco, and conveyed it in trust to the Regents of the
State University of California. This gift embraced the entire accumulations
of twelve years of professional service. He established also the Cogswei L
Chair of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy, in the State University,
and The Cogswell Relief Fund, for the aid of students needing assistance.
Dr. Cogswell, as a matter of public beneficence, and to promote Temperance,
548
San Kranxisco, Cal., 1883.
caused to be erected at his own expense, in many large cities, elaborate and
highly ornamental Public Drinking Fountains of bronze and granite. Thirty-
one of these fountains were distributed to different cities and towns in the
United States. Washington, D. C, San Francisco, Cal., Providence, R. I.,
and Brooklyn, N. Y., were among the large cities to receive this public mon-
ument of blessing in perpetuum. An engraving of one of these Silent
Orators of Temperance is inserted.
The Fountain erected in Washington, D. C, was accepted by joint resolu-
tion of Congress, July 6, 1882, and erected in 1884 on the corner of Seventh
549
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. It was made to furnish iced water, and
was very elaborate and costly in construction. An appropriate inscription
was put upon it, and the following dedication :
(Esto ^trpctua to Ibe "^inuman ^Ihiion.
Dr. Cogswell, by a donation of $35,000, founded The Cogswell Philan-
thropic Society, and established its Annual Course of Lectures. He also
erected a very costly and imposing Mausoleum to the worthy dead within
the grounds of the Mountain View Cemetery, Oakland, Cal. It was estimated
that at least four hundred tons of cut granite were used in its construction.
The base covered a large area, the polished shaft rose sixty feet from the base,
its sides were embellished with tablets on which werer ecorded the names of the
honored dead. On the corners of the pedestal were four colossal statues of
marble, sculptured in Italy, representing Faith, Hope, Charity, and Tem-
perance. On the base of the monument was a tablet with the following
inscription :

The grounds on which this monumental structure was erected contained
ten thousand square feet, enclosed by polished granite. Ihe entire cost of
this California Westminster Abbey, as estimated, was not less than $60,000.
Dr. Cogswell, whose boyhood was penniless and homeless, at the age of sixty
years was known for his beneficence across the continent, and reckoned among
the millionnaires of America. His biographer says : " None of his large for-
tune was accumulated at the expense of others. Frugality, temperance, and
industry were through life his characteristics, and integrity his religion."

Association. Dr. Cogswell, in May, 1858, led a party prospecting for gold through the valley
of the Yosemite, along the river Tuolumne ; and to him belongs the honor of discovering,
while on that expedition, the famous grove of the ISiG Trees in that region. .Some of these
trees were nearly four hundred feet high, and more than twenty feet in diameter. ]'id. Tour-

3l5iO0rapi)ical.
William Cables Cogswell in early life became restive, and longed for
other fields of action than the bleak hills of his native town. Accordingly
he quietly packed his scanty wardrobe in a small bundle, and with only one
dollar and seventeen cents in his pocket, Jan. 14, 1840, he left home and
bent his steps towards the setting sun. At the end of three days' journey, he
found himself many miles from home, and his little funds exhausted. He
stopped for lodging at a farm-house, and in the morning bargained his ser-
vices with the farmer for nine months at nine dollars per month. Having
fulfilled this term of service, without a single day of lost time, he received his
wages, and with eighty-one dollars in his purse felt himself financially inde-
pendent. He next turned to good account his common-school education by
teaching; this he pursued for several years. He then entered upon trade,
and for twenty-eight years kept a village store. In 1882 he retired upon a
small farm with a competency.
Mr. Cogswell was a highly respected citizen, and called to fill various
public offices. For twenty-two years he was Postmaster. He was chosen
President of the Village Corporation of Wurtsboro'. In 1883 he was elected
one of the Supervisors of Sullivan Co., N. Y., and re-elected without an
opposing vote in 1884.

The City ok Nkw York presented Col. Milton Cogswell with a gold-mounted sword,
in recognition of his gallantr}- in the battle of Ball's Bluff, in which he was severely wounded.
The instant before the bullet struck him, his words were : "Boys, we will cut our way through
to the ferry.'''' Col. Cogswell was of the first lot of exchanged prisoners from Richmond in
the steamboat Northampton. As the steamer neared the landing : " In the fore-front stood
the noble Col. Cogswell, his manly form, like that of Saul, towering head and shoulders
above and his fellows, the tears streaming down his cheeks, as he raised the cry :
' Three cheers for the red, white, and blue.' "
Mrs. Susan M. Cogswell, daughter of Hon. William J. Lane, was born in New York
City. Her father was a broker for many years. From his estate Mrs. Cogswell received

tant battles of Peaked Mountain, Winchester, Cedar Mountain, Cold Harbor, and Opequan.
