INTRODUCTION<br />
THE COGSWELLS IN ENGLAND.<br />
1580-1635.<br />
It is not the object of this work to give any extended account of the<br />
<strong>Cogswells</strong> <strong>in</strong> England, but merely as <strong>in</strong>troductory to their record <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong><br />
to mention the birthplace and the more immediate ancestors of John Cur.s-<br />
WELL, who with his family were the first immigrants of the name to this<br />
country. Tradition and probability identify the name Cogswell with the old<br />
English town of Coggeshall, which is located forty-four miles from London, <strong>in</strong><br />
the County of Essex. Coggeshall was the ancient Canonium of the Romans,<br />
and held by them as a military trad<strong>in</strong>g post for several centuries, be<strong>in</strong>g surren-<br />
dered only on their departure from Brita<strong>in</strong>. Roman bricks, tiles, broken urns,<br />
and co<strong>in</strong>s, relics of Roman possession, have often been found <strong>in</strong> Coggeshall.<br />
In the time of the Saxons it was called Coed Garr's Hall. When Canute.<br />
the Dane, ruled Brita<strong>in</strong>, Godw<strong>in</strong>, one of his favorites, who lived also under<br />
Edward the Confessor, came <strong>in</strong>to possession of Coggashael, whose daughter<br />
Edward the Confessor married, and whose son was K<strong>in</strong>g Harold, the last of<br />
the Saxon k<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />
In 1046 Coggeshall was given to the Church of Christ for the support of<br />
the Benedict<strong>in</strong>e monks of Canterbury. In 1139 the Abbey of Coggeshall was<br />
founded by K<strong>in</strong>g Stephen and Queen Matilda, the monks be<strong>in</strong>g of the Cister-<br />
cian Order. <strong>The</strong> first Abbot of Coggeshall was William. In the reign of<br />
Edward III., A. D. 1337, Johanus Coggeskale was M. P. from Gloucester,<br />
England For further history of Coggeshall, rid. <strong>The</strong> .Annals of Coggeshall,<br />
by Bryan Dak, M. D., and <strong>The</strong> Chronicles of Ralph De Cogges-<br />
hall, <strong>in</strong> Lat<strong>in</strong>.<br />
It is the family tradition of the <strong>Cogswells</strong> now hold<strong>in</strong>g the ancient Cogswell<br />
possessions <strong>in</strong> Westbury, County of Wilts, England, that their ancestors came<br />
from the County of Essex, and were there known as Coggeshall, with the vari-<br />
ous spell<strong>in</strong>gs which appear, viz. : Cogshall,<br />
Coggeshall, Hoggeshale, Cogesholl,<br />
Cogeshole, Coggashael, Cogshol. Coxhall, Cockshall, and Coggshale. Beside
the family tradition the experts <strong>in</strong> such matters say that Cogswell and Cogges-<br />
hall <strong>in</strong> England have the same orig<strong>in</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ancient Family Arms, which appear on the cover of this volume<br />
a cross between four escallops sable. Crest,<br />
are recorded <strong>in</strong> England : Argent,<br />
a stag lodged sable attired or. Motto :<br />
'*'2tt'c spcrno ncc t<strong>in</strong>tco."<br />
<strong>The</strong> Coggeshalls lost their head <strong>in</strong> the reign of Henry VI., and became<br />
a widely distributed race, the branches rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> several counties; and<br />
"between Henry VI., 1422, and Charles I., 1625, there was plenty of time for<br />
the name to change among bad spellers."<br />
But while Coggeshall and Cogswell have the same orig<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> England,<br />
they are two dist<strong>in</strong>ct names <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong> although sometimes confounded.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Coggeshalls of this country have mostly descended from John Cogges-<br />
hall, the First Governor of Rhode Island, while the <strong>Cogswells</strong>, with the<br />
exception of a few recent immigrants, have sprung from John Cogswell,<br />
who came from Westbury Leigh, County of Wilts, England, and settled, <strong>in</strong><br />
1635, <strong>in</strong> Ipswich, Mass.<br />
Westbury, County of Wilts, England.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Doomsday Book, by William the Conqueror, 10S6. gives the earliest<br />
mention of Westbury, which appears to have been held by Editha, Queen of<br />
K<strong>in</strong>g Edward the Confessor, <strong>in</strong> the year 1044.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Arms of Westbury were registered <strong>in</strong><br />
Heralds Ofifice, London, <strong>in</strong> 1573, :6 Elizabeth.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are said to be the same that John ok<br />
Gaunt, fourth son of Edward III., bore, who<br />
w.TS born 1339 and died 1399- Westbury,<br />
England, was granted its charter of <strong>in</strong>corpora-<br />
tion by Henry IV. It is a parish form<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
Hundred of Westbur)-, County of Wilts, and com-<br />
^"S^^^f^^i^ pris<strong>in</strong>g the borough of Westbury, the chapelries<br />

Hawkeridge. Hayward, and Leigh, and conta<strong>in</strong>-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g about seven thousand <strong>in</strong>habitants, upward of two thousand of whom are <strong>in</strong><br />
the town of Westbury. This town is twenty four miles northwest from Salis-<br />
bury and n<strong>in</strong>ety-eight miles west by south of London. <strong>The</strong> place is of great<br />
antiquity. It occupies the site of the old Roman military and trad<strong>in</strong>g station,<br />
Verlucio. All that rema<strong>in</strong>s to tell its Roman history are fragments of pottery.
an old aqueduct, and co<strong>in</strong>s, dug up occasionally, bear<strong>in</strong>g the impress of Constant<strong>in</strong>e,<br />
Marcus Aurelius, and other Roman emperors. <strong>The</strong> name is of Saxon<br />
orig<strong>in</strong>, <strong>in</strong>tended to designate the importance or the relative position of the<br />
town. Here, accord<strong>in</strong>g to tradition, was the Palace that belonged to the West<br />
S.^XON K<strong>in</strong>gs. <strong>The</strong>re are three pr<strong>in</strong>cipal streets, irregularly built, branch<strong>in</strong>g<br />
off toward Frome, Ijradford, and East Sav<strong>in</strong>gton. <strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>habitants are sup-<br />
plied with water from spr<strong>in</strong>gs and a small stream that falls <strong>in</strong>to the Avon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> cloth<strong>in</strong>g trade formerly flourished here, one house alone employ<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
thousand persons. <strong>The</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>cipal manufactures Were broadcloth and kersey-<br />
mere. <strong>The</strong>re were <strong>in</strong> and near the town eight manufactures, and several<br />
others with<strong>in</strong> the parish.<br />
Bryan Edwards, the liistorian, and Dr. Philip Withers, a writer of some<br />
em<strong>in</strong>ence, were natives of \\'eslbury.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Westburv Parish Chitrch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Westbury Parish Church dates to the time of William the Conqueror,<br />
who reigned from Dec. 25, 1066, to Sept. 9, 1087. A new church edifice was<br />
erected <strong>in</strong> 1315, dur<strong>in</strong>g the reign of Edward II., which was still stand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
1884. as here represented. This f<strong>in</strong>e Gothic structure, nearly six hundred<br />
years old, was built <strong>in</strong> the form of a cross. <strong>The</strong> nave was seventy-n<strong>in</strong>e feet<br />
long and twenty-six feet wide. <strong>The</strong> transept was seventy-seven feet long<br />
and sixteen feet wide. <strong>The</strong> chancel was forty-eight feet b\- twenty-four feet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> height of nave was forty feet. <strong>The</strong> height of chancel was twenty-six<br />
feet. <strong>The</strong> height of the tower was eighty-four feet from the ground. <strong>The</strong>
walls were two feet n<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>ches thick. Those of the tower were four feet<br />
thick. Cha<strong>in</strong>ed to the read<strong>in</strong>g-desk was a copy of the English translation of<br />
Erasmus's Paraphrase of the Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, which was<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ted as early as 1550. <strong>The</strong> ancient communion service of the Westbury<br />
Church was pewter. This consisted of two large cups and one large salver.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se were ornamented by a figure of Christ ria<strong>in</strong>g on an ass. and <strong>in</strong>scribed<br />
"<br />
with this motto: '-What have we that we have not received of the Lord i<br />
"Anno Dom<strong>in</strong>i 1616." <strong>The</strong> clock on this church was erected <strong>in</strong> the second<br />
year of James I., 1604, dur<strong>in</strong>g the vicarage of Rev. William Thompson. John<br />
Cogswell's father-<strong>in</strong>-law, who was vicar from 1603 to his death <strong>in</strong> 1623. <strong>The</strong><br />
tower of the church conta<strong>in</strong>s a f<strong>in</strong>e peal of six bells. <strong>The</strong> chimes were the<br />
work of Louis and William Cockey, <strong>in</strong> 1688. <strong>The</strong>se bells bear the follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
dates respectively: '1671, "^1738, ''1620, ""leig, ^1616, ^1714. <strong>The</strong> sixth weighed<br />
five thousand pounds and was the largest bell <strong>in</strong> the County of Wilts. <strong>The</strong> fifth<br />
and oldest had the Arms of England on one side and the Arms of Lord Ley's<br />
family on the other. It was <strong>in</strong>scribed with this motto " : f jjtn igra," /. e.. <strong>The</strong><br />
Voice of God. Under the shadow of this ancient church "repose the mortal<br />
rema<strong>in</strong>s of more than thirty generations of the <strong>in</strong>habitants of Westbury, while<br />
upwards of twenty generations have worshipped beneath its roof." <strong>The</strong>re<br />
were many <strong>Cogswells</strong> connected with this ancient church, as appears on<br />
Church and Parish Register of Westbury. It will be seen also that the<br />
name of Cogswell often appears <strong>in</strong> the Register of St Mary's Chapel, Dilton.<br />
and <strong>in</strong> the Register of the Chapel of Westbury Leigh.<br />

PREFACE.<br />
Rev. William Cogswell, D. D. [411], as early as 1810, began to collect<br />
genealogical data of the Cogswell family. At his death, <strong>in</strong> 1850, these data<br />
were placed <strong>in</strong> the hands of Rev. Daniel Lancaster, late of New York City,<br />
with a view to publication, but susequently returned to Rev. Dr. Cogswell's<br />
brother, Francis Cogswell, Esq. [417], late of .-^ndover, Mass. A few years<br />
prior to his death, Mr. Francis Cogswell gave these papers <strong>in</strong>to the hands of<br />
the son-<strong>in</strong>-law of Rev. Dr. Cogswell, with the hope that at some future time<br />
they might furnish the basis of a published volume of family history. But<br />
noth<strong>in</strong>g further was done until sometime <strong>in</strong> March, i88i,when Mrs. Abey<br />
P. Choate, of Salem, Mass., at the suggestion of her father, Hon. George<br />
Cogswell, M. D. [ 418 1, of Bradford, Mass., who was the youngest and only<br />
surviv<strong>in</strong>g brotlier of Rev. Dr. Cogswell, proposed that this genealogical work<br />
be carried fr- ward to publication. Accord<strong>in</strong>gly the materials gathered by Rev.<br />
Dr. Cogswell, which could have been easily embraced with<strong>in</strong> twenty or thirty<br />
pages, were made the basis of further research, which resulted <strong>in</strong> the accumu-<br />
lation of a surpris<strong>in</strong>gly large amount of genealogical facts. <strong>The</strong> magnitude<br />
of this work had been greatly underestimated, the impression be<strong>in</strong>g that the.<br />
<strong>Cogswells</strong> <strong>in</strong> this countrj' were few, and that nearly all the materials for the<br />
proposed publication were conta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> the papers of Rev. Dr. Cogswell.<br />
With this impression the work was entered upon, <strong>in</strong> the midst of a busy pro-<br />
fessional life, as a matter afford<strong>in</strong>g recreation, and not demand<strong>in</strong>g much time<br />
or labor. <strong>The</strong>re was contemplated noth<strong>in</strong>g more than a small pamphlet, which<br />
might be prepared and published at slight expense. But only after years of<br />
wide research and the expenditure of thousands of dollars has the undertak-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g culm<strong>in</strong>ated <strong>in</strong> the present volume of more than seven hundred pages.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Cogswells</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong> embraces names, dates, and facts gathered<br />
from various sources through the length and breadth of a cont<strong>in</strong>ent. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
has been exercised <strong>in</strong> the editorial work a conscientious fidelity to the docu-<br />
mentary statistics furnished ; so that any violence done to the orthography of<br />
proper names, any <strong>in</strong>accuracy of dates, and any <strong>in</strong>completeness of details must<br />
be carried to the account of those furnish<strong>in</strong>g or fail<strong>in</strong>g to furnish the accurate<br />
and needed data.
In mak<strong>in</strong>g this contribution to the genealogical literature of <strong>America</strong>, the<br />
autjior is happy to acknowledge the generous co-operation of those connected<br />
with the Cogswell family, and the exceed<strong>in</strong>g courtesy of the thousands with<br />
whom he has had correspondence. Town Clerks, Registrars of Probate, and<br />
others hav<strong>in</strong>g the custody of public records have rendered a great and will<strong>in</strong>g<br />
service, and sometimes without compensation.<br />

JOHN COGSWELL.<br />
\ John Cogswell, son of Edward and Alice Cogswell, was born, 1592, <strong>in</strong><br />
\ Westbury, Leigh, County of Wilts. He married, Sept. 10, 1615, Elizabeth<br />
\ Thompson, daughter of the Rev. William and Phillis Thompson. Vid. John<br />
\ Cogswell [11. '<br />
I <strong>The</strong><br />
Rev. William Thompson.<br />
Rev. William Thompson^ Mrs. Cogswell's father, was the Vicar of Westbury<br />
Parish, Wiltshire, for twenty years, fro<strong>in</strong> 1603 to his death <strong>in</strong> 1623. His<br />
wife, Mrs. Phillis Thompson, died <strong>in</strong> 1608. <strong>The</strong> Westbury Register records [<br />
her burial thus: ''Phillis, uxor of Mr. William Thompson^ Vicar, Sepult. 19<br />
yuly, 1608." Of this marriage were Elizabeth, who married John Cogswell, f<br />
Maria, who was baptized <strong>in</strong> 1604, and other children, as mention is made <strong>in</strong> I<br />
his will of five daughters. After the death of Mrs. Cogswell's mother, her 1<br />
father married ^Elizabeth , who survived him. Of the second marriage .<br />
were two sons: William, who was baptized April 23, 1615, and Samuel, whose<br />
baptism is thus recorded <strong>in</strong> the Westbury Register: "1616, Samitell, Jilius \<br />
Wtllmi. Thompsonn, Vicaric de Westburie, baptizat Novemb. 30." \<br />
Samuel Tliompson, Mrs. Cogswell's youngest brother, became the Rev. \<br />
Samuel Thompson, D. D., of London. His son, William Thompson, lived<br />
[<br />
with his uncle, John Cogswell, for many years <strong>in</strong> Ipswich, Mass. J'iil. p. 12. i<br />
In the Public Record Office, London, appears the follow<strong>in</strong>g conveyance :<br />
11 Charles First, Tr<strong>in</strong>ity Term, 1635. ';<br />
Anthony Selfe and Henry .Allvn, Pla<strong>in</strong>tiff, and John Cogswell and i<br />
Elizabeth, his wife, Defendants, whereby Anthony and Henry give to John )<br />
and Elizabeth £^0 sterl<strong>in</strong>g for one messuage, tw^o Cottages, one barn, two j<br />
gardens, two orchards, 4J acres of land, one of meadow and four of Pasture, r<br />
with the appurtenances <strong>in</strong> Westbury and Westbury Leigh, Co. Wilts.<br />
This was undoubtedly the sale of John Cogswell's homestead just on tlie<br />
eve of his departure for New England. i<br />

THE COGSWELLS ON THE OCEAN.<br />
MAV 23 TO AUGIST 15, 1635.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angel Gabriel was the ship on board of which John Cocswell and<br />
FAMILY crossed the Atlantic. This vessel, it appears from the Letters of John<br />
Aubrey, the celebrated antiquary of Wiltshire, was built by Sir Charles Snell<br />
for Sir Walter Raleigh, "for the designe for Guiana, which cost him the<br />
manor of Yatton Regnell, the farm of Easton Piers, Thornhill, and the<br />
Church-lease of Bp. Cann<strong>in</strong>gs, which ship upon Sir Walter Raleigh's atta<strong>in</strong>der<br />
was forfeited." Vid. .'Aubrey's Letters, Vol. 2, p. 514, Mss. Bodleian<br />
Library, Oxford, Eng.<br />
Sir Walter Raleigh, who was executed Oct. 29, 1618, doubtless made<br />
his second and last voyage, A. D. 1617-18, to Guiana, S. A., <strong>in</strong> the same ship<br />
<strong>in</strong> which the <strong>Cogswells</strong> came to <strong>America</strong> <strong>in</strong> 1635, and which became a wreck<br />
off I'emaquid, as Mather says " : was burst <strong>in</strong> />ieres and cast away."<br />
JoH.M Cogswell, with his wife Elizabeth and eight children, embarked<br />
May 23, 1635, at Bristol, England, on the Angel Gabriel, for New England.<br />
Mr. Cogswell had with him his three sons, William, John, and Edward, and<br />
five of his six daughters. One daughter was left <strong>in</strong> England, who afterward<br />
married and resided <strong>in</strong> London. Mr. Cogswell took with him sever.il farm<br />
and household servants, an amount of valuable furniture, farm<strong>in</strong>g implements,<br />
housekeep<strong>in</strong>g utensils, and a considerable sum of money. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
deta<strong>in</strong>ed many days after go<strong>in</strong>g on board the .^ngel Gabriel for lack of<br />
w<strong>in</strong>d, so that not until June 4 did they actually set sail from Bristol. On the<br />
same day another vessel, <strong>The</strong> James, sailed, hav<strong>in</strong>g on board emigrants for<br />
<strong>America</strong>, among whom was Rev. Richard Mather, flee<strong>in</strong>g religious <strong>in</strong>tolerance<br />
<strong>in</strong> England to f<strong>in</strong>d the home of religious freedom <strong>in</strong> the New World. He<br />
became the m<strong>in</strong>ister of Dorchester <strong>in</strong> the Colony of Massachusetts. Rev.<br />
Richard Mather w.is the father of Rev. Increase Mather, D. D.. President of
Harvard College, and the grandfather of Rev. Dr. Colton Mather, rn<strong>in</strong>ibtt<br />
of Boston, and the dist<strong>in</strong>guished author of the Magnalia Christi AMERicANji<br />
Richard Mather's tombstone was thus <strong>in</strong>scribed :<br />
" Stnbei this stont lies Jiitbarb ^atbtr,<br />
eHljD ^ab a son greater than bis fatbtr,<br />
Unb tht a granbson grtattr Iban titber."<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angel Gabriel was commanded by Capt. Andrews, who had on board<br />
with him two nephews, John and Thomas Burnham, sons of Robert and Mary<br />
(.Andrews) Burnham, and ancestors of the Burnhams <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong>. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />
on board also Samuel Ha<strong>in</strong>es, ancestor of Hon. Andrew Mack Ha<strong>in</strong>es, of<br />
Galena, 111., William Furber, and others seek<strong>in</strong>g homes <strong>in</strong> New England.<br />
Both ships touched at Milford Haven, Pembroke Co., South Wales, and June<br />
22, they put to sea aga<strong>in</strong> and proceeded on their way, and many on board<br />
saw the English coast fade from view, never to be seen by them aga<strong>in</strong> wiih<br />
mortal eyes. <strong>The</strong> vessels kept company for about two weeks, when they<br />
became separated, but arrived about the same time on the coast of New<br />
England. <strong>The</strong> James lay at anchor off the Isles of Shoals, and the Angel<br />
Gabriel off Pemaquid, Me., where the great storm and gale of .-^ug. 15 of that<br />
year struck them. <strong>The</strong> James was torn from her anchors, and obliged to put<br />
to sea, but after two days of terrible battl<strong>in</strong>g with storm and wave, she reached<br />
Boston Harbor with "her sails rent <strong>in</strong> sunder, and split <strong>in</strong> pieces, as if thev<br />
had been rotten ragges." <strong>The</strong> passengers of the James landed <strong>in</strong> Boston,<br />
Aug. 17, hav<strong>in</strong>g been twelve weeks and two days on the passage. <strong>The</strong> Angel<br />
Gabriel fared still worse. "<strong>The</strong> storm was frightful at Pemaquid, the w<strong>in</strong>d<br />
blow<strong>in</strong>g from the northeast, the tide ris<strong>in</strong>g to a very unusual height, <strong>in</strong> some<br />
places more than twenty feet right up and down ; this was succeeded by<br />
another and unaccountable tidal wave still higher.'' <strong>The</strong> Angel Gabriel<br />
became a total wreck, passengers, cattle, and goods were all cast upon the<br />
angry waves. Among those who reached the shore with their lives were Mr.<br />
Cogswell and his family. Three or four passengers and one seaman perished,<br />
and there was the loss of cattle and much property. Thus ended the passage<br />
of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Cogswells</strong> on the Ocean, and thus became a fact: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Cogswells</strong><br />
IN <strong>America</strong>.<br />
Journal of Rev. Richard Maiher.<br />
Rev. Richard Mather, already mentioned as a passenger on the Jame^^,<br />
kept a journal <strong>in</strong> which are found frequent references to the ship Angel<br />
Gabriel, and to the events of the voyage, so <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g and qua<strong>in</strong>t that the<br />
author cannot forbear to quote somewhat at length from this old and curious<br />
rec'ivd. Rev. Richard Mather <strong>in</strong> his reflections, says :
"'And let everyth<strong>in</strong>g that hath breath praise M^ name of the hoKD fo/erer<br />
and ever.' Who gave unto us his poore servants such a safe and comfortable<br />
voyage to New England "<br />
"<strong>The</strong> particular passages whereof were as followeth : <strong>The</strong> ship James<br />
was commanded by Captayne Taylor. <strong>The</strong>y fell <strong>in</strong> with the ship Angel<br />
Gabriel, also bound for New England, before leav<strong>in</strong>g Bristol Harbor, Eng-<br />
land." May 27, 1635, while at anchor, Capt. Taylor, of the James, accompanied<br />
by Mr. Maud, Nathaniel Wales, Barnabas Power, Thomas Armitage, and<br />
Richard Mather, went on board the Angel Gabriel. Mr. Mather says "When<br />
:<br />
we came there wee found divers passengers, and among them some lov<strong>in</strong>g &<br />
godly Christians that were glad to see us there."<br />
<strong>The</strong> ne.xt day, .May 28, 1635, be<strong>in</strong>g still deta<strong>in</strong>ed, "the master of the<br />
Angel Gabriel & some of their passengers came aboard our ship, and desired<br />
to have our company, etc. June 4. Thursday morn<strong>in</strong>g, the w<strong>in</strong>d serv<strong>in</strong>g us,<br />
wee set sayle and began our sea voyage with glad hearts, y' God had loosed<br />
us from our long stay where<strong>in</strong> we had been holden, and with hope & trust<br />
that Hee would graciously guide us to the end of our journey. We were y' set<br />
sayle together y' morn<strong>in</strong>g five shippes, three bound for Newfoundland, viz. :<br />
the Diligence, a ship of 150 tunne, the Mary, a small ship of 80 lunne. and<br />
Angel<br />
the Bess (or Elizabeth), and two bound for New England, viz. : <strong>The</strong><br />
(labriel. of 240 tunne. the James, of 220 tunne."<br />
"And even at our sett<strong>in</strong>g out we y' were <strong>in</strong> the James had experience of<br />
God's gracious providence over us, <strong>in</strong> y' the Angel Gabriel hal<strong>in</strong>g home one<br />
of her ancres, had like, be<strong>in</strong>g carried by the force of the tide, to have fallen<br />
foule upon y' forep't of our ship, w'ch made all the mar<strong>in</strong>ers as well as pas-<br />
sengers greatly afraid, yet by the guidance of God and his care over us. she<br />
passed by without touch<strong>in</strong>g so much as a cable or a cord, and so we escaped<br />
y' danger."<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were deta<strong>in</strong>ed at Lundy by adverse sea and w<strong>in</strong>ds from June 5 to<br />
On the 9th of June the five ships made for Milford Haven, Pembroke<br />
June 9.<br />
Co , Wales, where they anchored, with rough sea and seasick passengers.<br />
June 14. Sabbath. Still ly<strong>in</strong>g at Milford Haven. "Mr. Maud, Mathew<br />
Michel of the James, and many of the passengers of the Angel Gabriel<br />
went to church on shoare called Nangle, where they heard two comfortable<br />
sermons, made by an ancient, grave m<strong>in</strong>ister, liv<strong>in</strong>g at Pembroke, whose name<br />
is Mr. Jessop. His te.xt was Ps. xci 11;' For He shall give His angels charge<br />
over thee to keep thee <strong>in</strong> all thy ways.' .And his com<strong>in</strong>g was purposed for the<br />
comfort and encouragement of us y' went to New England." " I was exercised<br />
on shipboard both endes of the day, remayn<strong>in</strong>g there for helpe of y' weaker<br />
& <strong>in</strong>firm sort that could not go on shoare."<br />
On the afternoon of Thursday, June 18, "there came to the .Angel Gabriel<br />
and to our ship, Mr. Jessop. lo see the Christians bound for New England.<br />
He was a grave and godly old man, one y' had lost a good liv<strong>in</strong>g because of<br />
his nonconformity, and wished us all well, and we were much refreshed with<br />
his godly company & conference."
Still at Milford Haven Mr. Matlier speaks of be<strong>in</strong>g "exercised botli ends<br />
of tlie day," "besides," he says, "the day was more comfortable to us all <strong>in</strong><br />
regard to y'' company of many godly Christians from y'' Angel Gabriel, and<br />
from other vessels ly<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the haven with us, who, want<strong>in</strong>g means and home,<br />
were glad to come to us, and we were also glad of their company, and had all<br />
of us a very comfortable day, and were much refreshed <strong>in</strong> the Lord "<br />
By lack of w<strong>in</strong>d hav<strong>in</strong>g been delayed at Milford Haven for 12 days,<br />
they sailed on June 22, Monday. On the even<strong>in</strong>g of the Tuesday, June 23,<br />
they ''lost sfght of the 3 ships bound for Newfoundland, but the master of<br />
the James thought it best to stay for the Angel Gabriel, be<strong>in</strong>g bound for<br />
New England as wee were, rather than to lea\'e her & go with the other<br />
three.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Angel Gabriel is a strong ship ^: well furnished with fourteene or<br />
si.xteene pieces of ordnance, and therefore our seamen rather desired her<br />
company ; but yet she is slow <strong>in</strong> sail<strong>in</strong>g, and therefore wee \vent sometimes<br />
with three sayles less than wee might have done, y' so we might not overgoe<br />
her."<br />
On Wednesdav, June 24. "We saw abundance of porpuyses leap<strong>in</strong>g &<br />
play<strong>in</strong>g about our shi]5." "And wee spent some lime that day <strong>in</strong> pursu<strong>in</strong>g with<br />
the Angel Gabriel what wee supposed was a Turkish pirate, but could not<br />
overtake her."<br />
Mr. Mather speaks of the Sabbath, June 2S, 1635, and says, "I was<br />
exercised <strong>in</strong> the forenoon, and Mr. Maude <strong>in</strong> the afternoon."<br />
" This e\-e'g wee saw porpuyses about y' ship, and some would fayne<br />
been strik<strong>in</strong>g, but others dissuaded, because of the Sabbath, and so it was<br />
let alone."<br />
<strong>The</strong> next day by se\en o'clock the sailors had a great porpoise on deck.<br />
Mr. Mather says " : <strong>The</strong> see<strong>in</strong>g him haled <strong>in</strong>to the ship like a swyne from<br />
y'' decke <strong>in</strong> viewe of all our company,<br />
y" stye to the tressle, and opened upon<br />
was wonderful to us all. and marvellous merry sport and delightful to our<br />
women & childi-en. So good was oui God unto us <strong>in</strong> afTord<strong>in</strong>g us the day<br />
before, spiritual refresh<strong>in</strong>g to our soules, and y' day morn<strong>in</strong>g also delightful<br />
recreation to our bodyes, at y'' tak<strong>in</strong>g and open<strong>in</strong>g of y' huge and strange fish."<br />
In the afternoon, June 29, "Captayne Taylor went on board y' Angel, and<br />
took Mathew Michel & mee along with li<strong>in</strong>i."<br />
Tliey found that there had been much seasickness on the Angel Gabriel,<br />
and two cases of "small pockes well recovered aga<strong>in</strong>."<br />
"Wee were <strong>in</strong>treated to stay supp, there witli their Master, &c., and had<br />
good cheese, mutton boyled &: rosted. rested turkey, good sacke, &c."<br />
Saturday, July d„ 1635. "This day y' sea was very rough, and we saw<br />
}'* truth of y' Scripture, Ps. cvii. Some were very seasicke, but none could<br />
stand or go upon y' decke because of the toss<strong>in</strong>g & tumbl<strong>in</strong>g of the ship."<br />
"This day (July 4) we lost sight of the Angel sayl<strong>in</strong>g slowly beh<strong>in</strong>d us, and<br />
we never saw her aga<strong>in</strong> any more."<br />
Mr. Mather speaks of Sabbath, Aug. 2. "And y' w<strong>in</strong>d blew with a coole
iV comfon^ible gale at south all day, which carried us away with great speed<br />
towards ci' jouriieyes end. so good was o"^ lov<strong>in</strong>g God unto us as alwa_\s so also<br />
this day. Mr. Maud was exercised <strong>in</strong> y' forenoone & I <strong>in</strong> the afternoone "<br />
Aug. 3. "But lest wee should grow secure and neglect y'' Lord through<br />
abundance of prosperity, ' wise & lov<strong>in</strong>g God was pleased on Monday<br />
morn<strong>in</strong>g about three of y"' clock, when wee were upon the coast of land, to<br />
e.xercise us witii a sore storme & tempest of w<strong>in</strong>d & ra<strong>in</strong>, so y' many of us<br />
passengers with w<strong>in</strong>d & ra<strong>in</strong> were raised out of our beds, and our seamen<br />
were forced to let down all y* sayles, and y' ship was so tossed with fearfull<br />
mountayns and valleyes of water, as if wee should have beene overwhelmed<br />
& swallowed up.<br />
But y' lasted not long, for at o' poore prayers, y' Lord was please^! to<br />
magnify his mercy <strong>in</strong> assuag<strong>in</strong>g y^ w<strong>in</strong>ds & seas aga<strong>in</strong>e about sun ris<strong>in</strong>g." He<br />
then speaks of " tak<strong>in</strong>g abundance of cod & hollibut,' wherewith o' bouyt s<br />
were abundantly refreshed after they had beene tossed with y' storme."<br />
"Aug. 14. While ancored at the He of Shoales, when wee had slept<br />
sweetly y' night till breake of day," Mr. Mather adds: "But yet y' Lord had<br />
not done with us, nor yet had let us see all his power & goodnesse which he<br />
would have us take knowledge of, and therefore on Saturday morn<strong>in</strong>g (.Aug.<br />
15 I, at about breake of day, y' Lord sent forth a most terrible storme of ra<strong>in</strong>e<br />
iN: easterly w<strong>in</strong>d, whereby wee were <strong>in</strong> as much danger as I th<strong>in</strong>ki.- ever people<br />
were. For we lost <strong>in</strong> y' morn<strong>in</strong>g, three great ancres & cables, of wich cables,<br />
one ha\<strong>in</strong>g cost ^50. never had been <strong>in</strong> any water before, two were broken by<br />
y' violence of y"^ waves, and y' third was cut by y' seamen <strong>in</strong> extremity & dis-<br />

And y* Angel Gabriel be<strong>in</strong>g y" at ancer at Pemniaquid, was burst <strong>in</strong><br />

" Tlh- Lord's name be blessed forever."<br />
.\ touch<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>cident is narrated of one ol the passengers of the .Ani^el Galjric-I.<br />
more amus<strong>in</strong>g to the reader than it could have been to tlie panics concerned. <strong>The</strong><br />
name of this passenger was Bailey. He was a young man and lately married. He<br />
embarked, lea\ \\.% his young bride <strong>in</strong> England, wish<strong>in</strong>g to acqua<strong>in</strong>t himself somewhat<br />
with the new country, and make arrangements for a home i;: .<strong>America</strong>, and then<br />
return for his wife. But alas I the frightful disaster from which he had narrowly<br />
scaped so wrought upon his m<strong>in</strong>d that he wa.s too timid ever aga<strong>in</strong> to risk himself<br />
upon the ocean, and the doleful account which he wrote home so <strong>in</strong>timidated his<br />
\oung bride that she could never be persuaded to undertake the voyage. .And so it<br />
came to pass, that between this lov<strong>in</strong>g couple tlie broad .Atlantic cont<strong>in</strong>ued to roll, and<br />
this married twa<strong>in</strong>, poor souls, rema<strong>in</strong>ed separated from each other all the rest of tlieir<br />
mortal lives.
Rev. Dr. Increase Mather states as a historical fact that : "<strong>The</strong> Angel<br />
Gabriel was the only vessel which miscarried with passengers from old Eng-<br />
land to New, so signally did the Lord <strong>in</strong> his providence watch over the plan-<br />

hundred and fifty years has given to them a numerous posterity, some of whom<br />
<strong>in</strong> each generation have lived <strong>in</strong> eventful periods, have risen to em<strong>in</strong>ence, and<br />

JOHN COGSWELL.<br />
[1]<br />
tSitntaloQital.<br />
John' Cogswell, son of Edward and Alice Cogswell, was born<br />
1592, <strong>in</strong> Westbury Leigh, County of Wilts, England. He married,<br />
Sept. 10, 161 5, Elizabeth Thompson, daughter of Rev. William and<br />

John Cogswell, the ancestor of the <strong>Cogswells</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong>, as already nar-<br />
rated, was the son of Edward and Alice Cogswell, of Westbury Leigh, <strong>in</strong> the<br />
County of Wilts, England. At the age of twenty-three years he married the<br />
daughter of the parish vicar, succeeded to his father's bus<strong>in</strong>ess, and settled<br />
down <strong>in</strong> the old homestead. His parents died soon after his marriage, and he<br />
received by <strong>in</strong>heritance "<strong>The</strong> Mylls called Ripond, situate with<strong>in</strong> the Parish of<br />
Frome Selwood," together with the home place and certa<strong>in</strong> personal property.
Like his father, he was a manufacturer of woollen fabrics, largely broadcloths<br />
and kerseymeres. <strong>The</strong> superior quality (;f these manufactures gave to his<br />
"niylls" a favorable reputation, which appears to have been reta<strong>in</strong>ed to the<br />
present dav. <strong>The</strong>re are factories occupy<strong>in</strong>g much the same locations and still<br />
owned by <strong>Cogswells</strong>, which cont<strong>in</strong>ue to put upon the market woollen cloths that<br />
<strong>in</strong> Vienna and elsewhere have commanded the first premiums <strong>in</strong> the world<br />
exhibitions of our times.<br />
John Cogswell doubtless found <strong>in</strong> London a market for his manufactures.<br />
He may have had a commission house <strong>in</strong> that city, which would account for<br />
his be<strong>in</strong>g called, as he sometimes has been, a London merchant.<br />
Mrs. Cogswell's father was the Rev. William Thompson, vicar of Westbury<br />
from 1603 to his death, <strong>in</strong> 1623. Her younger brother was the Rev. Samuel<br />
Thompson. D. 1) , of London. About twenty years after their marriage, with<br />
a familv of n<strong>in</strong>e children about them, and hav<strong>in</strong>g the accumulations of a pros-<br />
perous bus<strong>in</strong>ess. Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell determ<strong>in</strong>ed to emigrate to .<strong>America</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> particular reasons which led them to leave England may have been much<br />
the same that <strong>in</strong>fluenced others <strong>in</strong> their times. It appe.irs that early <strong>in</strong> 1635<br />
Mr. Cogswell made sale of his " niylls " and other real estate, and soon after,<br />
with his wife, eight children, and all their personal effects, embarked at Bristol,<br />
May 23, 1635, for New England. <strong>The</strong>ir passage was long and disastrous.<br />
Ftd. "<strong>The</strong> <strong>Cogswells</strong> on the Ocean." <strong>The</strong>ir arrival <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong> was after a<br />
most une.xpected fashion. Hav<strong>in</strong>g reached the shores of New England, they<br />
were landed very unceremoniously at a place called Pemaquid, <strong>in</strong> Ma<strong>in</strong>e, be<strong>in</strong>g<br />
washed ash- re from the broken decks of their ship " Angel Gabriel," which<br />
went to pieces <strong>in</strong> the frightful gale of Aug. 15, 1635, when such a "sudden,<br />
dismal storm of w<strong>in</strong>d and ra<strong>in</strong> came as had never been known before by white<br />
man or Indian." Traces of this storm rema<strong>in</strong>ed for years. It was on that<br />
terrible i^ih of .August, 1635. that Parson ,4rwj perished, with these words<br />
upon his lips: "Lord, I cannot challenge a preservation of life; but accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to thy covenant, I challenge heaven." "Which words," says Hubbard, "as<br />
soon as he had ever expressed, the ne.xt wave gave him a present dismission<br />
<strong>in</strong>to his eternal rest."<br />
<strong>The</strong> easy verse of Whittier has made the story of that August storm<br />
familiar :<br />
"I'hcif wa^ wail<strong>in</strong>,;; <strong>in</strong> the shallop; woman's wail and man's desiiair;<br />
.•\ crash of break<strong>in</strong>g limbers on the rocks so sharp and bare<br />
And through it all the murmur of Father Avery's prayer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ear of God was open to his servant's last request.<br />
.\> i1k strony wave swept him downward the sweet hymn uiiward pressed,<br />
And the soul of Father .\very went s<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g to its rest."<br />
Mr. Cogswell and his family escaped with their lives, but well drenched by<br />
the sea and despoiled of valuables to the amount of five thousand pounds<br />
sterl<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong>y were more fortunate than some who sailed with them, whom<br />
the angrv waves gathered to a watery grave. On leav<strong>in</strong>g England Mr. Cogs-<br />
well had taken along with him a large tent, which now came <strong>in</strong>to good service.
This they pitched, and <strong>in</strong>to it they gathered themselves and such stores as they<br />
could rescue from the waves. <strong>The</strong> darkness of that first night of the Cogs-<br />
wells <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong> found them housed beneath a tent on the beach. <strong>The</strong> next<br />
day they picked up what more of their goods they could, which had come ashore<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g the night or lay float<strong>in</strong>g about upon the water. As soon as possible Mr.<br />
Cogswell, leav<strong>in</strong>g his family, took passage for Boston. He there made a con-<br />
tract with a certa<strong>in</strong> Capt. Gallup, who commanded a small barciue, to sail for<br />
Pemaquid and transport his family to Ipswich, Mass. This was a newly settled<br />
town to the eastward from Boston, and was called by the Indians ".\ggawam."<br />
Two years earlier, March, 1633, Mr John W<strong>in</strong>throp. son of Gov. John<br />
W<strong>in</strong>throp, with ten others, had commenced a settlement <strong>in</strong> Aggawam. An<br />
act of <strong>in</strong>corporation was secured Aug. 4, 1634, under the name of Ipswicii.<br />
<strong>The</strong> name Ipswich is Sa.xon, <strong>in</strong> honor of the Saxon queen Eba, called " Eba"s<br />
wych," /. ^., Eba's house ; hence Yppyswich or Ipswich. Some derive it from<br />
Gippewich, mean<strong>in</strong>g "little city." In the early records are found the follow-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g enactments of the General Court:<br />
^' April 1st, lojh It is ordered that n"'' p'°" wtsover shall goe to plant or<br />
<strong>in</strong>habitt att Aggawam, withoutt leave from the Court, except those already<br />
gone, vz : Mr. John W<strong>in</strong>throp, Jun'r, Mr. Gierke, Robte Coles, Thomas Howlett,<br />

, "At Ipsidge a plantation made upe this yeare. Mr. U'ard P<br />

Mr.<br />
It was probably near the last of August, 1635, when Capt. Gallup sailed<br />
up the Agawam River, hav<strong>in</strong>g on board Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell, their three<br />
sons and five daughters, and whatever of household goods his barque would<br />
carry, the rest of their effects be<strong>in</strong>g taken by another ship. <strong>The</strong> settlers of<br />
Ipswich at once manifested an appreciation of these new-comers. <strong>The</strong>y made<br />
John Cogswell liberal grants of land, as appears from the follow<strong>in</strong>g municipal<br />
records :<br />
"iS'iO- Granted to Mr. John Coggswell Three Hundred acres of land at<br />
the further Chebokoe, hav<strong>in</strong>g the River on the South east, the land of Willm<br />
White on the North west and A Creeke romni<strong>in</strong>ge out of the River towards<br />
William White's farme on the North east. Bounded also on the West with a<br />
Creek and a little (creeke)."<br />
"Also there was granted to him a parsell of ground conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>ge eight acres,<br />
upon part whereof y= s"^ John Coggswell hath built an house, it be<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
corner lot <strong>in</strong> Bridge street and hath Goodman Bradstreet's house-Lott on the<br />
South East."<br />
This was doubtless Humphrey Bradstreet, son of Gov. Simon antl Ann<br />
(l>udley) Bradstreet. Ann Dudley wab daughter of Gov. Thomas Dudley.<br />
" <strong>The</strong>re was granted to him five acres of ground," which is thus described :<br />
" Mr. John Spencer's butt<strong>in</strong>ge upon the River on the south, hav<strong>in</strong>g a lott of
Edmond Gard<strong>in</strong>er's on the South East, and a lott of Edmond Sayward's on<br />
the souih west; with six acres of ground, the s'' John Cogswell hath sold to<br />
John Perk<strong>in</strong>s, the younger, his heirs and assigns."<br />
<strong>The</strong> grant of " three hundred acres of land at the further Chebokoe '' was<br />
some five miles to the eastward, <strong>in</strong> a part of Ipswich that was constituted, May 5,<br />
1679. Chebacco Parish ; and Feb. 5, 1S19, <strong>in</strong>corporated the town of Essex.<br />
A settlement had been commenced <strong>in</strong> the Indian Chebokoe, <strong>in</strong> 1635, by William<br />
White and Goodman Bradstreet. This grant to John Cogswell embraced<br />
a swell of land, the western boundary of which is the ma<strong>in</strong> road which runs<br />
from Ipswich to Gloucester. On the south flows the Chebacco River; on the<br />
north is a brook, which marks the boundary of a farm lately owned by Col.<br />
John P. Choate ; and to the eastward is an arm of the sea. <strong>The</strong> grant of "a<br />
parsell of ground conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>ge eight acres, upon part whereof y= s'' John Coggs-<br />
well liath built an house," embraced land located near the present site of the<br />
court-house. This house, which Mr. Cogswell built soon after his arrival, stood<br />
on the site occupied by the residence of the late Hon. Charles Kimball, where<br />
Edward L. Kimball, Esq., now, 1884, resides.<br />
Mr, Cogswell, some time <strong>in</strong> 1636. put up a log-house and removed to<br />
• !rther Chebokoe," where he spent the rest of his days. His descendants<br />
101 eight generations, through a period of two hundred and i.ty years, have<br />
>• ->:Vi<strong>in</strong>ued to cultivate these ancestral acres. A few rods from where stood the<br />
iog-house of the first settler now stands an ancient dwell<strong>in</strong>g-house, which is<br />
the third <strong>in</strong> succession built on or near the same spot to domicile <strong>Cogswells</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>America</strong>. This house was erected by William^ Cogswell [39] <strong>in</strong> 1732, and is<br />
still occupied by <strong>Cogswells</strong>, the l<strong>in</strong>eal descendants of John Cogswell, of West-<br />
bury, England. For more than one hundred and fifty years " <strong>The</strong> Cogswell<br />
House " has withstood time and change. With<strong>in</strong> its walls have dwelt six gen-<br />
erations of the name. In it are carefully treasured many relics and articles of<br />
household use. which were brought over <strong>in</strong> 1G35, ^"^ survived the wreck of<br />
the " Angel Gabriel.'' <strong>The</strong>se have been handed down from father to son as<br />
hav<strong>in</strong>g belonged to their great ancestor, and are enshr<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> various and<br />
qua<strong>in</strong>t traditions. This ancient dwell<strong>in</strong>g-house, which is well preserved, is<br />
represented by an engrav<strong>in</strong>g on the follow<strong>in</strong>g page.<br />
This engrav<strong>in</strong>g is the work of Miss Charlotte Bruo.me Cogswell, of<br />
Brooklyn. N. Y.. who for some years has been a teacher <strong>in</strong> draw<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
engrav<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> that city and <strong>in</strong> New York. She is a l<strong>in</strong>eal descendant of John<br />
Cogswell <strong>in</strong> the eighth generation. Miss Cogswell visiteil Essex, Mass., <strong>in</strong><br />
1882, made a sketch of the Cogswell homestead, and on her return completed<br />
the engrav<strong>in</strong>g with her own hands.<br />
It appears that John Cogswell was the third orig<strong>in</strong>al settler <strong>in</strong> thai part of<br />
Ipswich which is now Essex, Mass. His comparative wealth, <strong>in</strong>telligence, and<br />
piety gave him an acknowledged prom<strong>in</strong>ence <strong>in</strong> the town and church. On the<br />
records of Ipswich his name often appears. It is uniformly dist<strong>in</strong>guished by<br />
the appellation of A/r., which <strong>in</strong> those days was an honorary title given to but<br />
few, who were gentlemen of some dist<strong>in</strong>ction. <strong>The</strong>re were only alxuit ihirly of
5<br />
the three hundred and thirty-five orig<strong>in</strong>al settlers of Ipswich who received this<br />
honor.<br />
Very soon after his arrival, March 3, 1636, by an act of the Court, John<br />
Cogswell was admitted freeman, to which privileges none were admitted prior<br />
to 1664 except respectable members of some Christian church. To freemen<br />
alone were the civil rights to vote for rulers and to hold public office.<br />
For several years Mr. Cogswell and family lived <strong>in</strong> the log-house with its<br />
thatched roof, while many of their goods rema<strong>in</strong>ed stored <strong>in</strong> bo.\es, await<strong>in</strong>g<br />
some better accommodations. It is said there were pieces of carved furni^<br />
ture, embroidered curta<strong>in</strong>s, damask table l<strong>in</strong>en, much silver plate ; and that<br />
there was a Turkey carpet is well attested. As soon as practicable Mr. Cogswell<br />
put up a framed house. This stood a little back from the highway, and<br />
was approached by walks through grounds of shrubbery and fiowers. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
an English shrub still, 1884, enjoy<strong>in</strong>g a thrifty life, which stands not far from<br />
the site of the old Cogswell manor. This shrub, tradition says, John Cogswell<br />
brought with him from England <strong>in</strong> 1635. Among other relics of their ances-<br />
tor still treasured by his descendants are articles of personal 1 attire and 01 a-<br />
ment. A qua<strong>in</strong>t mirror and many other curious th<strong>in</strong>gs are <strong>in</strong> the possession of<br />
Messrs. Albert and Jonathan Cogswell, brothers, who occupy the ancient Cogs-<br />
well house <strong>in</strong> Essex. Mrs. Marv (Cogswell 1 Choate had the old clock which
struck off the time for John and Elizabeth Cogswell two centuries and a half<br />
ago. Not long s<strong>in</strong>ce, Mrs. Aaron Cogswell, of Ipswich, had <strong>in</strong> her possession,<br />
it is said, the famous coat of arms which has been widely copied <strong>in</strong> the family.<br />
This is described as " wrought most exquisitely with silk on heavy sat<strong>in</strong>." A<br />
few years ago, a stranger borrowed the curious relic of this too oblig<strong>in</strong>g lady,<br />
and, like tlie jewels of the Egj'ptians, borrowed by the Israelites, it was never<br />
returned. As a matter of family <strong>in</strong>terest, although purely traditional and<br />
not found anywhere recorded, a facsimile of this Cogswell escutcheon is here<br />

William Cogswell was the eldest son of John and Elizabeth Cogswell.<br />
<strong>The</strong> record of his baptism <strong>in</strong> the Westbury register reads: "1619 Will. fil.<br />
John Cogswell, March." Hence he was si.vteen years of age at the time he<br />
came with his parents to <strong>America</strong> <strong>in</strong> 1635, and about tliirty when he was mar-<br />
ried. He settled on the home place, and lived <strong>in</strong> a house that then stood a<br />
little to the north of the site now occupied by the ancient Cogswell house<br />
already mentioned. Mr. William Cogswell possessed many of the traits of his<br />
father. He was a man of Christian character, and one of the most <strong>in</strong>fluential<br />
<strong>citizen</strong>s <strong>in</strong> that part of Ipswich. It was largely by his efforts that the Gospel<br />
m<strong>in</strong>istry was established <strong>in</strong> Chebacco. <strong>The</strong> first meet<strong>in</strong>g for consultation on<br />
this subject was held at his house Feb., 167!, and a petition to the town was<br />
the result, ask<strong>in</strong>g the " liberty to call a m<strong>in</strong>ister to preach among themselves "<br />
This not be<strong>in</strong>g granted, Mr. Cogswell was chosen chairman of a committee of<br />
three to confer with the selectmen <strong>in</strong> regard to this matter. .After two years<br />
of opposition, several appeals to the General Court, and determ<strong>in</strong>ation to<br />
accomplish this end, at last, May 5, 1679, the Parish of Chebacco was estab-
lished. Mr. Cogswell gave the land on which to erect a meet<strong>in</strong>g-house, a lot<br />
tliirteen rods by three. This first meet<strong>in</strong>g-house <strong>in</strong> Chebacco stood on what<br />
was long known as Meet<strong>in</strong>g-house Hill. <strong>The</strong> site <strong>in</strong> 1868 was occupied by the<br />
residence of Capt. Joseph Choate. <strong>The</strong> meet<strong>in</strong>g-house was dedicated April,<br />
1680. Mr. Cogswell enterta<strong>in</strong>ed at his house the Ecclesiastical Council, that<br />
met Aug. 12, 1683, to organize the church and to orda<strong>in</strong> Mr. John Wise, their<br />
first pastor.<br />
Rev. Robert Crowell, D. D., <strong>in</strong> his " History of Essex," mentions William<br />
Cogswell as the lead<strong>in</strong>g man <strong>in</strong> establish<strong>in</strong>g the parish and the church and <strong>in</strong><br />
build<strong>in</strong>g the meet<strong>in</strong>g-house. He was often chosen on the board of selectmen<br />
of the town and the moderator of parish meet<strong>in</strong>gs. In 1693 the parish com-<br />
mittee on the assignment of seats <strong>in</strong> ihe meet<strong>in</strong>g-house, after the manner of<br />
those qua<strong>in</strong>t days, gave Mrs. Cogswell a seat witli the m<strong>in</strong>ister's wife, which<br />
was significant of her respectability.<br />
Mr. Cogswell, <strong>in</strong> his will, dated Aug. 5, 1696, states that his wife is<br />
deceased, and mentions his four sons and four daughters. To the former he<br />
bequeaths all his landed estate, and to the latter all his personal property.<br />
One of his daughters, Ann, had previously died. Mr. Cogswell died at the<br />
age of eighty-one years, Dec. 15, 1700. His burial occurred Dec. 17 follow<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
A town met iiig notified for that day was adjourned, "to give opportunity for<br />
<strong>citizen</strong>s to attend Mr. Cogswell's funeral."<br />
Jttrniorantra.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wii.i, or Wilmam- ConswFXL w.is proved Dec. 19, 1700. Elizabeth Wade, Thomas<br />
Biirnhani. lleiijam<strong>in</strong> White, .-iiul William Xo\es gave receipts for their jiroportion of the estate,<br />
Dec. 23, 1700. William Cog.swell was a .subscriber to " Denison's Compensation " <strong>in</strong> 1648 ; a<br />
commoner <strong>in</strong> 1664; a surveyor of public ways <strong>in</strong> 1663; a tith<strong>in</strong>gman <strong>in</strong> 1677 ; and a voter <strong>in</strong><br />
town affairs iji 1679. .A.t a parish meet<strong>in</strong>g, .-^ug., 1693, '* ^^'^--^ voted that two .short seats <strong>in</strong> the<br />
meet<strong>in</strong>g-house be given to William Cogswell and his heirs, <strong>in</strong> consideration of the land he had<br />
given on which the meet<strong>in</strong>g-house was erected, u])on his secur<strong>in</strong>g the same to them by deed.<br />
Mrs. Cogswell's parents are mentioned <strong>in</strong> 1634 as members of the First Church <strong>in</strong> Charle.stown,<br />
Mass., where she \v.as born <strong>in</strong> 1633. .'^he had a tw<strong>in</strong> brother, John Hawkes. Moses<br />
Hawkes, son of John, married Margaret Cogswell, daughter of John and M.argaret (Gifford)<br />
Cogswell. Mercy Hawkes. a daughter of I(jhn Hawkes, married Nathaniel Goodhue. In<br />
1775-7 occurred a famous lawsuit bctHxen \\ illiam- and his nephew, John'' Cogswell.<br />
<strong>The</strong> C.^se ok Cogswell vs. Cogswell, 1675-7.<br />
William Cogswell and his father, John Cogswell, were " Executors of Estate of John Cogs-<br />
well, deceased. Inventory ^^341 io.f. o
liam Cogswell appealed to the next court, which confirmed the sentence, and bound the defend-<br />

who claimed that it was false. It was therefore rejected, and suit aga<strong>in</strong>st William was entered<br />
at .Salem, Jan., 1676, which brought <strong>in</strong> judgment of ^£'300 aga<strong>in</strong>.st the defendant ; from which,<br />
appeal was made to the court <strong>in</strong> Boston. This court reversed the rudgment, Sept., 1676, and<br />
brought costs of court, ^13 4J-., aga<strong>in</strong>st John Cogswell. John did iiot pay these charges, but<br />
<strong>in</strong> Oct., 1676, delivered his person to the marshal ; and <strong>in</strong> the same October petitioned the<br />
General Court, plead<strong>in</strong>g his sad condition and <strong>in</strong>ability, and asked another hear<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong><br />

Samuel Cogswell came to Saybrook, unmarried, .ibout 1665, and settled<br />
on a farm. <strong>The</strong> Colonial Records of Connecticut state that he was made<br />
freeman. May, 1669. <strong>The</strong>re has been some uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty expressed by different<br />
writers as to his parentage and whence he came to Saybrook, also as to the<br />
person he married. <strong>The</strong>re is little doubt he was born <strong>in</strong> Ipswich, Mass., and<br />
was the son of John' Cogswell t 4], who died on his return passage from London<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1653, and that he married, as above given, Susanna Haven, of the<br />
town of Lyme, Conn. Lyme was Saybrook until 1667.<br />

Richard llo-CH. Mrs. Cogswell's father, was a farmer <strong>in</strong> .Saybrook, Conn., <strong>in</strong> 1645.<br />
Johti H'osta/l, of Saybrook, Conn., deeded, June 13, 1681, to the children of his lov<strong>in</strong>g<br />
k<strong>in</strong>sman, Richard Haven, of Lyme, Conn., 3,000 acres of land <strong>in</strong> 1 kbmn. Conn., which he had<br />
by will of /cj//K«, .Sachem. It is said that John Wastall mentions <strong>in</strong> his will Wastall Cogs<br />
well, a son of .Samuel and Susanna Cogswell, as a grandson. This suggests that the wife of<br />
Richard Haven may have been Susanna Wastall (<strong>in</strong>stead of Newhall), a sister perhaps of<br />
John Wastall, and so Richard Haven would be his k<strong>in</strong>sman. .Some have read the name of<br />
Samuel Cogswell's wife, which is much blotted on the record, " Hearn," others " Wastall "<br />
but it was doubtless .Susanna Haven.<br />
" Siimiicl Cogsuicl! sold 10 acres of salt marsh <strong>in</strong> Chebacque to .\braham Perk<strong>in</strong>.-. 1674."<br />
This was land let to his father, John Cogswell, for 1,000 years. <strong>The</strong> land record shows that<br />
the land willed hy /os/iim, Sachem, was divided <strong>in</strong>to eighty-six shares among the proprietors<br />
of Hebron, <strong>in</strong> 1702, the quantity be<strong>in</strong>g accord<strong>in</strong>g to quality. John Wastall owned shares<br />
Nos. 44, 66, and 83, about two hundred and si.\ty-three acres. Samuel Cogswell owned two<br />
shares, Nos. 9 and 84, mak<strong>in</strong>g one hundred and n<strong>in</strong>e and three fifths acres. <strong>The</strong> disposal of<br />
these lands does not apjjear on the town records of Hebron ; probably to be found <strong>in</strong> jirobate<br />
record.s, now -n the .'\ndover District. Tolland Co., Conn.<br />
In 1710 proprietors voted a second division of upland to be made, each proprietor receiv-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g not less than forty nor more than sixty acres on each thousand-acre right. Samuel Cogs-<br />
well received one hundred and one acres. Wastall Cogswell was dead. <strong>The</strong> same year.<br />
1710, by a third division, Samuel Cogswell received twelve acres.

Nathaniel Cogswell was lliree years old when his father died. He went<br />
from home <strong>in</strong> boyhood, and entered a store <strong>in</strong> Haverhill, Mass. He became<br />
a lead<strong>in</strong>g merchant and a prom<strong>in</strong>ent citixen of the town. In person he was<br />
of medium stature, portly, of dark complexion, with black hair and eyes. He<br />
was a man of <strong>in</strong>tegrity and bus<strong>in</strong>ess capacity. He united with the church<br />
June I, 1746, and was a devoted and efficient member.<br />
Mrs. Cogswell was the only surviv<strong>in</strong>g daughter of Joseph Badger, Esq., a<br />
merchant <strong>in</strong> Haverhill. She was but si.xteen years of age at the time of her<br />
marriage. At the age of twenty, March 18. 1744, she united with the church.<br />
She was a per.son of command<strong>in</strong>g figure and cultured manners. Her com-<br />

Mr. Cogswell, after a successful bus<strong>in</strong>ess life, retired <strong>in</strong> 1766, and settled<br />
upon a farm <strong>in</strong> Atk<strong>in</strong>son, X. H. He at once became active <strong>in</strong> establisii<strong>in</strong>g<br />
religious and educational <strong>in</strong>stitutions <strong>in</strong> the town. He gave the land and<br />
contributed freely toward the first meet<strong>in</strong>g-house, which was erected by private<br />
subscription <strong>in</strong> 176S-9. Prior to the completion of the meet<strong>in</strong>g-house, public<br />
worship was conducted <strong>in</strong> Mr. Cogswell's house.<br />
Dur<strong>in</strong>g the Revolutionary War his patriotism was declared by large loans<br />
of money, to provide equipments and provisions for the soldiers. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
loans of money, by reason of a depreciated currency, proved almost a total<br />
loss. Beside provid<strong>in</strong>g money, Mr. Cogswell gave eight sons to the army,<br />
who served with dist<strong>in</strong>ction, and fulfilled an aggregate term of service of more<br />
than thirty-eight years ; said to be the longest rendered by any family <strong>in</strong> the<br />
country. It is said that these eight sons were of such height that <strong>in</strong> the<br />
aggregate they measured about fifty feet, mak<strong>in</strong>g a large amount of soldier<br />
l<strong>in</strong>eally, as well as <strong>in</strong> other respects. <strong>The</strong>y all survived the war. and became<br />
prom<strong>in</strong>ent <strong>in</strong> professional and civil life.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last survivor of this large family was Joseph Cogswell, M. D., who<br />
died March 17, 185 1, <strong>in</strong> Tamworth, N. H.<br />

Westell, Wastoll, and Wastall.<br />
Mr. Wastall Cogswell was a blacksmith, as appears from the <strong>in</strong>ventory<br />
made of his effects, April 21, 1709. That he was married twice, and the name<br />
of his first wife was Hannah, appear <strong>in</strong> a further statement, <strong>in</strong> which mention<br />

made that Wastall Cogswell adm<strong>in</strong>istered upon the estate of the said Samuel<br />

who married .Sarah Wells, a daughter of Gov. Thomas Welis, governor of Con-<br />
necticut from 1655 to 1658. <strong>The</strong>y lived <strong>in</strong> a house which was stand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 1883,<br />
the residence of a l<strong>in</strong>eal descendant, Gould C. Whittlesey, Esq. It was located<br />
at the junction of several roads, on the l<strong>in</strong>e of travel to \ew York, West Po<strong>in</strong>t,<br />
Hartford, Boston, and other large towns.<br />
Mr. Cogswell was among the first to <strong>in</strong>itiate revolutionary measures <strong>in</strong><br />
resistance of English oppression. At a town meet<strong>in</strong>g held Sept. 20, 1774, he<br />
was one of a committee chosen to collect and communicate all necessary <strong>in</strong>tel-<br />
ligence of movements <strong>in</strong> and about Boston and other parts of the country. In<br />
Dec , 1776, he was on the Committee of Inspection and Correspondence. He<br />
was selectman of New Milford, Conn., from 1774 to : 1777 elected moderator<br />
of the first meet<strong>in</strong>g held <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton <strong>in</strong> 1779; the first selectman, and<br />
elected the first representative of the new town to the General Assembly of<br />
Connecticut. He was re-elected each succeed<strong>in</strong>g year, and was serv<strong>in</strong>g his<br />
eighth term as a member of the Assembly when he died. Mr. Cogswell was<br />
Justice of the Peace, Major <strong>in</strong> the State militia, and Capta<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the army of<br />
the Revolution. He was <strong>in</strong> command, under Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, <strong>in</strong> the retreat from<br />
Long Island. Major Cogswell died <strong>in</strong> the prime of life, leav<strong>in</strong>g a widow and<br />
n<strong>in</strong>e children. His estate was large. In the cemetery of New Preston P.nish,<br />
Wash<strong>in</strong>gton. Conn., the stone that marks the spot of his burial is <strong>in</strong>scribed as<br />
follows :<br />
" Cropt at niK<strong>in</strong>, he is gone ! he is gone I<br />
lie sh<strong>in</strong>ecl <strong>in</strong> acts of peace to still a storm.<br />
Skilful to advise and vigorous to perform.<br />
K<strong>in</strong>d to the world and duteous to the skies.<br />
Distress and want on him did fi.\ their eyes.<br />
Here lies his body, blended with the dust.<br />
Wait<strong>in</strong>g the resurrection of the just."<br />
iVitmotantia.<br />
Gen. Wash<strong>in</strong>gton and many of the pr<strong>in</strong>cipal otliccrs of the Revolution were, at differ-<br />
ent times, enterta<strong>in</strong>ed at Major Cog.swell's tavern, and soldiers by the scores and hundreds.<br />
When the treason of .Arnold was communicated to Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, as he was at a i)o<strong>in</strong>t where<br />
he must pass through .Vew I'reston early the ne.xt morn<strong>in</strong>g, he despatched a page, who was<br />
dressed <strong>in</strong> yellow flannel, to .Major fogswell's, to have breakfast ready promjUly at si.x<br />
o'clock. He reached there at the time, and gave his suite fifteen m<strong>in</strong>utes for breakfast.<br />
Wash<strong>in</strong>gton's agitation was such that he himself did not sit down, but took a bowl of milk,<br />
and walked the room while eat<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
One morn<strong>in</strong>g, after the previous day's fatigue, the cooks were sitt<strong>in</strong>g do\yi 10 breakfast,<br />
and one said, " ' I hope we shall be permitted to eat <strong>in</strong> peace for once " Just then an officer<br />
came gallop<strong>in</strong>g up. announc<strong>in</strong>g that three hundred soldiers wanted breakf,ast immediately.<br />
Major fogswell was much from home dur<strong>in</strong>g the war, and his wife was left to manage<br />
affairs <strong>in</strong> his absence. It is .said of the Tories who lived <strong>in</strong> the neighborhood that, <strong>in</strong> the<br />
absence of Major logswcU, they would gather about the premises, and seek to <strong>in</strong>timidate the<br />
children and Mrs. e'ogswell; perhaps say<strong>in</strong>g, " .\ews has just come that M.ajor Cogswell is<br />
de,id : he was killed <strong>in</strong> the last battle ; aiid now is a good time for Tories." More than once.

sick of their impert<strong>in</strong>ence, slie armed herself with a chair, and cleared the house <strong>in</strong> cpiick<br />
time. In later life she was wont to say, •' I iu-:rr fairt-J n Tory."<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a tradition that an <strong>in</strong>dignant public determ<strong>in</strong>ed on a coat of tar and feather> for<br />
one I'atterson, a noted Tory. <strong>The</strong>y seized him and brought him to the " Cogswell Tavern " to<br />
execute their purjiose. But Mrs. Cogswell made show of great remonstrance, and warned them,<br />
with a significant look, not to touch the tar down cellar nor the feathers up-stairs. This was<br />
enough to notify them where the needed articles were; and alas for poor Patterson I he was<br />
taken to an oak-tree near by, and the coat of tar and feathers applied with great thoroughness<br />
and satisfaction.<br />
As a magistrate Major Cogswell sometimes married jieople. A couple from the old<br />
country, whom he h.td married not long before, came <strong>in</strong>to his yard one day and wished to lie<br />
Hiimariu.i. He said, " I'll do it." <strong>The</strong>re stood near by a block and cleaver. " Here." he<br />
said, "whichever of you wishes to be unmarried, put your head on this block, and I will cut<br />
it off; that will d.. it." <strong>The</strong>y stared at him, then looked at each other, and at last one of<br />
them timidly asked, " Is there no other way ? " He said, " No." <strong>The</strong>y concluded not to be<br />
unmarried.<br />

Nathaniel Cogswell was <strong>in</strong>dentured Sept.. 1756, by his guardian, Joseph<br />
.Appleton, to Dr. John Perk<strong>in</strong>s of Boston, until tlie completion of his twenty-<br />
first year, " to learn his art or mystery as much as may be <strong>in</strong> physick, Perk<strong>in</strong>s<br />
surgery, anatomy, and pharmacy," for which he was "to pay to the said John<br />
sixty-six pounds, thirteen shill<strong>in</strong>gs, and fourpence lawful money," and Dr. Per-<br />
k<strong>in</strong>s agreed "to f<strong>in</strong>d meat, dr<strong>in</strong>k, wash<strong>in</strong>g, and lodg<strong>in</strong>g fitt<strong>in</strong>g and suitable for<br />
the s"^ Nathi.-"<br />
" After his settlement <strong>in</strong> Rowley he did not practise physic, for which by a<br />
natural distaste and too great sensibility he was ill-fitted, but soon transformed<br />
his lancet <strong>in</strong>to the sickle, and the drug-shop <strong>in</strong>to a garner. He considered<br />
agriculture as the most <strong>in</strong>dependent and least responsible occupation, and was<br />
delighted, not only with theoretical, but with practical and experimental husbandry.<br />
Unlike his brother, Col. Cogswell [ 99 ], of Ipswich, who had for many<br />
years served both <strong>in</strong> military and legislative capacity, he was averse to public<br />
life, yet, at tlie news of Lex<strong>in</strong>gton fight, he equipped his horse and himself and<br />
hurried to Cambridge, where he rema<strong>in</strong>ed until the alarm was over."<br />
" His heart and cares were centred <strong>in</strong> home. He loved tranquillity and<br />
hated wars and rumors of wars, and thought that only by pride cometh con-<br />
tention. Stili he was an <strong>in</strong>dependent, self-th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g man, <strong>in</strong>flexible <strong>in</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ci<br />
pie and active <strong>in</strong> beneficence."<br />
May 8, 1875, he was appo<strong>in</strong>ted by the town of Rowley one of the Com-<br />
mittee of Correspondence, who were authorized to see that the resolves of the<br />
Massachusetts Prov<strong>in</strong>cial Congress were duly regarded and executed, and on<br />

William Cogswell was a trader. He resided and had a store <strong>in</strong> Boston<br />
until just before the siege of that town <strong>in</strong> 1775, when he was compelled to<br />
seek safety for himself and family by removal. He abandoned his bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />
and the new house he had lately built, on Milk Street, and removed to Marl-<br />
boro', Mass., where he cont<strong>in</strong>ued <strong>in</strong> trade and also carried on the manufacture<br />
of potash. .He died at the age of seventy-three years, leav<strong>in</strong>g a large family<br />
and a good estate. This record is made of him : "Mr. Cogswell was a genial,<br />

William C\'s^rcll, be<strong>in</strong>g engaged <strong>in</strong> trade, was accustomed to go to New York and I'hil-<br />

phia and returned on horseback, br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g his saddlebags full of nutmegs, which he sold for<br />
one dollar a|)iece." <strong>The</strong> descendants of Mr. Cogswell still live <strong>in</strong> Marlboro'. His daughter<br />
Ruth occupied the old homestead till her death. William Gibbon, of Marlboro', and John<br />
Brown, a merchant <strong>in</strong> Ctmcord, Mass., were his grandsons.<br />
'A CR.vNDD.M-i-.HTER of William and Abigail (Dawes) Cogswell gives a graphic account<br />
of the hcgira of the family from Boston, <strong>in</strong> 1775. She says, "I have often heard my grand-<br />
mother relate the manner of their mov<strong>in</strong>g. <strong>The</strong> crowds of people who were eager to leave<br />
the town made it extremely ditiicult to get a vehicle for their goods, or conveyance for themselves.<br />
.After a good deal of trouble, howc\cr, they succeeded <strong>in</strong> gett<strong>in</strong>g a one-horse wagon,<br />
with a colored man, who was servant <strong>in</strong> the f.miily of a relative, for a driver, and <strong>in</strong>to this<br />
wagon they put all the goods they could take with them. .Another vehicle on two wheels, a<br />
sort of chaise without a top, was to convey the women and children. <strong>The</strong> second wife of<br />
Grandfather Dawes, Mrs. Hannah (Jackson) Dawes, had her two children, afterwards Mrs.<br />
Tidd and Mrs. Hammond, then n<strong>in</strong>e and ten years of age. <strong>The</strong>se children had shawls tied<br />
round their waists, attached to Grandmother Dawes's arms, to hold them <strong>in</strong>. <strong>The</strong> good lady<br />
was also to hold Grandmother Cogswell's baby, while grandmother drove. This was very<br />
likely her first attempt at driv<strong>in</strong>g, and she was not very skilful, as subsequent events proved.

" Start<strong>in</strong>g cult <strong>in</strong> this queer fashion, they must have presented a spectacle both ludicrous<br />
and touch<strong>in</strong>g, for they carried heav\ hearts with them, leav<strong>in</strong>g dear ones beh<strong>in</strong>d nf whose fate<br />
they were uncerta<strong>in</strong>, and feel<strong>in</strong>g anxious for their own. <strong>The</strong>y were obliged to ask leave to<br />
pass the gates ion the Neck), grandfather, with hat <strong>in</strong> hand, wait<strong>in</strong>g while an otticial exam<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
his goods to see that no arms or ammunition were concealed <strong>in</strong> them. After due search they<br />
were allowed to pass on. <strong>The</strong>y proceeded very well for a time, but came to grief before<br />
night, for. go<strong>in</strong>g down a hill <strong>in</strong> Weston, the horse <strong>in</strong> the gig, or whatever it might be called,<br />
fell down, throw<strong>in</strong>g out the entire load. <strong>The</strong> baby's face was badly cut upon the sharp sloncv<br />
and bled profusely, but a brook was near by (Stony Urook), at which they bathed the child's<br />
face and rested.<br />
" In after years, as the family journeyed back and forth to and from Boston, this brook was<br />
po<strong>in</strong>ted ont as the scene of their peril and delivery. In due time they reached Marlboro'.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y lived for a time <strong>in</strong> a few hired rooms, and afterwards rented a house <strong>in</strong> the middle of<br />
the town, where grandfather began a small trad<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess. Afterwards, when he had decided<br />
to rema<strong>in</strong> there, he bought a very pleasant house, which had been owned by Col. Harnes. a<br />
Tory, and confiscated, and there resided until his death." Vid. " Dawes Gene.m.oc.v."<br />

DEATH OF THE<br />
tjon. ®l]omas Cogstocll.<br />
OF GILMJAYON, JV. E.<br />
Departed this life, on Monday the 3d day of September, iSio, the Hon<br />
Thomas Cogswell, Esm., of Gilmantou^ <strong>in</strong> the 64th year of his age. On<br />
Wednefday follow<strong>in</strong>g, his rema<strong>in</strong>s were decently <strong>in</strong>terred, attended by his dif-<br />
confolate and afifedlionate wife and children ; together with a numerous and<br />
refpeclable concourfe of people, who fympathized with his relations at the lofs<br />
of fo k<strong>in</strong>d a Hufband, <strong>in</strong>dulgent Parent, and worthy member of the commu-<br />
nitv. He was born at Haverhill, <strong>in</strong> the Commonwealth of MalTachufetts ;<br />
at an early age, with the good of his country at heart, he became an OtScer<br />
<strong>in</strong> the United States fervice, <strong>in</strong> the Revolutionary War, <strong>in</strong> which he cont<strong>in</strong>ued<br />
ckir<strong>in</strong>g all our ftruggles with England, and exhibited himfelf the Patriot and<br />
the Hero. — When Peace was echoed from (hore to fliore, the good of his<br />
country called him <strong>in</strong>to another fphere of aftion. — Here he difplayed that<br />
firmnefs and benevolence, which charaflerize the great and the good Statef-<br />
man ; and cont<strong>in</strong>ued a firm fupporter of the rights of his fellow-<strong>citizen</strong>s, and<br />
the liberty of his country until his departure. No man could have been more<br />
ufeful : from his youth, he was given to hofpitality. <strong>The</strong> rich and the great<br />
honoured him, and the poor fliared <strong>in</strong> his bounty. — Thus has fallen one, for<br />
whom wliile his connexions mourn, his country will lament.<br />

THE COGSWELLS IN NOVA SCOTIA,<br />
1761-1884.<br />
HEZEKIAH COGSWELL.<br />
Hezekiah Cogswell and his family were the first of the name of<br />
Cogswell who settled <strong>in</strong> the Royal Prov<strong>in</strong>ce of Xew Scotland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> early history of Nova Scotia, called by the French. Acadie. from a<br />
native Indian term denot<strong>in</strong>g local abundance, is replete with stirr<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
romantic episodes. Both British and <strong>America</strong>n authors have found <strong>in</strong> it<br />
material for narrative and poetry, and the more its records are studied the<br />
deeper is the <strong>in</strong>terest attached to them. From a geographical po<strong>in</strong>t of<br />
view, the situation of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce has many natural advantages, and its<br />
m<strong>in</strong>eral wealth, when properly developed, must secure for it a great future.<br />
Until the end of the last century it <strong>in</strong>cluded the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce of New Bruns-
I 12<br />
wick, rich <strong>in</strong> forest and rivers, but even <strong>in</strong> its curtailed proportions it adds<br />
to its m<strong>in</strong>eral resources many productive fields for the a>j;riculturisl ; and it<br />
was <strong>in</strong> the richest of these, near the Bay of Fundy, that the drama was<br />
enacted <strong>in</strong> which the French Acadians made way for the New Engl.md<br />
Puritans. Sympathy with the expatriated is always strong under any cir-<br />
cumstances, but the <strong>America</strong>n poet, Longfellow, has, by his genius, shed a<br />
warm glow of sentiment over the banished Acadians, which bl<strong>in</strong>ds the reader<br />
to the real facts of the situation. It must be borne <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d that Nova<br />
Scotia was for years a battle-field for the .nrms and diplomacy of Great Brita<strong>in</strong><br />
and France. l"o Brita<strong>in</strong>, through the agency of the Cabots, belongs the<br />
credit of the discovery of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce, for Columbus had only explored <strong>in</strong><br />
the Gulf of Mexico. <strong>The</strong> Gilberts followed with actual residence ; and on<br />
this fact, ma<strong>in</strong>ly, perhaps, depended the claims for possession made by Great<br />
Brita<strong>in</strong>. But the brave and enterpris<strong>in</strong>g French, under the energetic guidance<br />
of De la Roche and De Monto, and with a power of assimilation, so to speak,<br />
which was not visible <strong>in</strong> their subsequent efforts at colonization, soon made<br />
Acadia a French prov<strong>in</strong>ce, and they established themselves <strong>in</strong> the rest of<br />
Eastern Canad.i with a tenacity such as to secure the retention of their <strong>in</strong>di-<br />
viduality <strong>in</strong> the Dom<strong>in</strong>ion to this day. By the treaty of Germa<strong>in</strong>s. Nova Scotia<br />
was formally ceded to France, although prior to that date sjjecial efforts ii.id<br />
been made, <strong>in</strong>itiated by K<strong>in</strong>g James I., to convert the country <strong>in</strong>to a New Scot-<br />
land, correspond<strong>in</strong>g to the New England, which was already realiz<strong>in</strong>g the<br />
hopes that had attended its first settlement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> student of history f<strong>in</strong>ds himself wonder<strong>in</strong>g how any progress was pos-<br />
sible <strong>in</strong> Prov<strong>in</strong>ces which changed hands so frequently to meet the exigencies of<br />
European statesmen. <strong>The</strong> conditions of life must have been at times abso-<br />
lutely bewilder<strong>in</strong>g, and anyth<strong>in</strong>g like settled loyalty must have been more than<br />
difficult. At one time a treaty, at another time a conquest, led to change of<br />
ownership. Nova Scotia was retaken by the English under secret <strong>in</strong>structions<br />
from Cromwell, but the treaty of Breda, <strong>in</strong> 1667, between Charles the Second<br />
and Louis the Fourteenth, restored it aga<strong>in</strong> to France. From this time, how-<br />
ever, the energy of the British colonists and the apathy of the French guv-<br />
ernment portended the ultimate predom<strong>in</strong>ance of the former race, and the cap-<br />
ture of Port Royal ('afterwards called Annapolis Royal) by the Massachusetts<br />
force, <strong>in</strong> 17 10. paved the way for the cession of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce to the British<br />
crown under the treaty of Utrecht, <strong>in</strong> 1713. A troubled career was before it<br />
until 1749, little real colonization be<strong>in</strong>g effected ; and <strong>in</strong> that year a large part<br />
of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce known now as Cape Breton was, <strong>in</strong> a miserable spirit of compromise,<br />
ceded aga<strong>in</strong> to France. For the next six years every effort was made<br />
to develop the resources of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce and to make it a thoroughly British<br />
colony, but <strong>in</strong> va<strong>in</strong>. <strong>The</strong> French residents, simple and <strong>in</strong>dustrious though<br />
they were, were compelled by external agencies to li\e <strong>in</strong> an atmosphere of<br />
<strong>in</strong>trigue. <strong>The</strong>y assisted to keep the Indians <strong>in</strong> a state of agitation ; they car-<br />
ried on a mistrusted correspondence with their countrymen <strong>in</strong> the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
known then as Canada, and now as Quebec. <strong>The</strong> strengthen<strong>in</strong>g of Louisbourg
<strong>in</strong> the French colony of Cape Breton seemed to be aggressive, and the disas-<br />
ters to the British troops under Gen. Braddock <strong>in</strong>creased the plott<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st<br />
British rule among the French settlers. <strong>The</strong>re are times with nations, as with<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividuals, when drastic remedies have to be employed, and when an urgency<br />
exists which cannot wait for the ord<strong>in</strong>ary movements of the law, when, <strong>in</strong> a<br />
word, weapons for immciiiaie tUtct are called <strong>in</strong>to action, irrespective of their<br />
rudeness and harshness. No one can do other than deplore the suffer<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
which attended the expatriation of the French Acadians, but their removal<br />
had become a political necessity. <strong>The</strong> act was performed with all possible<br />
humanity by Col. W<strong>in</strong>slow, a native of New England, who commanded the<br />
forces charged with the unpleasant duty. Col. W<strong>in</strong>slow himself said that the<br />
work was " contrary to his make and temper," and was not likely to aggravate<br />
the suffer<strong>in</strong>gs of the unhapp)- people.<br />
Some descendants of the French Acadians rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce, liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
secluded villages, reta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g their separate language and customs, and hold<strong>in</strong>g<br />
little <strong>in</strong>tercourse with the British <strong>in</strong>habitants, yet it may be questioned whether,<br />
nationally regarded, not only they, but all the so-called French Canadians,<br />
are not really more British than French ; for their ancestors are reputed to<br />
have come from Brittany and Normandy. Jacques Cartier. the first Kuropean<br />
voyager who set foot <strong>in</strong> Canada, was a native of Brittany. Brittany was col-<br />
onized from Wales ; its French name is Bretagiie. the same as for Britii<strong>in</strong>,<br />
while both its current English name and that of its people are but variations<br />
of Brita<strong>in</strong> and Briton. <strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>ti<strong>in</strong>ate blood relationship between the Normans,<br />
also, and the English, requires no words of explanation. If, then, there be rea-<br />
son to believe that no actual difference exists except <strong>in</strong> language, between the<br />
French Canadians and their British compatriots, it may be worth while for the<br />
former to consider whether they would not do wisely to give up this one<br />
acquired peculiarity, and so identify themselves <strong>in</strong> all respects with their<br />
neighbors speak<strong>in</strong>g the English tongue.<br />
<strong>The</strong> vacant places <strong>in</strong> Acadia were soon filled. New England, whose vig-<br />
orous sons took so prom<strong>in</strong>ent a part <strong>in</strong> all the battles of Great Brita<strong>in</strong> on the<br />
.<strong>America</strong>n cont<strong>in</strong>ent, stepped <strong>in</strong>to the vacant farms, and among her pioneers <strong>in</strong><br />
New Scotland, ca<strong>in</strong>e from Connecticut <strong>in</strong> 1761, Hezekiah Cogswell.<br />
Our earliest authority <strong>in</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>t for the statements <strong>in</strong> the forego<strong>in</strong>g sketch is<br />
• Haliburton's History of Nova Scotia." This work was received with special<br />
and official favor by the Legislative Assembly, and is worthy of the author,<br />
who on other and humorous fields earned the sol'riquet of " Sam Slick." It is<br />
<strong>in</strong> two volumes, published <strong>in</strong> 1829. <strong>The</strong> first volume is occupied with a<br />
general history of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce, and the second conta<strong>in</strong>s an account of its<br />
arrangement <strong>in</strong> divisions, counties, districts, and townships, and the manner <strong>in</strong><br />
which they became settled with <strong>in</strong>habitants. <strong>The</strong> settlers were <strong>in</strong>variably of<br />
the lespectable classes, and their descendants have no reason to fear a co<strong>in</strong>par-<br />
ison with the population of any other country as regards their orig<strong>in</strong>. No con-<br />
vict under sentence has ever been known to cross their borders, except, strange<br />
to say. oiit'iCnrd-bounJ. An amus<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>stance of this was recently given <strong>in</strong> a
1 14<br />
Halifax paper. A man named Paterson was convicted of forgery, and trans-<br />
ported to England h)- oxAtx of Judge (afterwards Sir Brenton) Halliburton, with<br />
a threat of capital, or some other severe punisliiiient, if he should ever return<br />
to Nova Scotia.<br />
.\ more elaborate work <strong>in</strong> three volumes, bear<strong>in</strong>g nearly the same title as<br />
the above, "Murdoch's History of Nova .Scotia or Acadie," was published <strong>in</strong><br />
1866 It is more a chronicle than a narrative, and seems to have been<br />
<strong>in</strong>tended by its author to serve as a book of reference to future historians.<br />
From its pages we learn that <strong>in</strong> 1758 a proclamation was issued by the Pro-<br />
v<strong>in</strong>cial government, sett<strong>in</strong>g forth the great extent and value of the lands<br />
vacated by the French, and <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g those who might desire to settle on them<br />
to apply to " Mr. Hancock, at Boston, or the Messrs. Delancie and Watts, at<br />
New York." Applicants were <strong>in</strong>formed that the land was to be divided <strong>in</strong>to<br />
townships of one hundred thousand acres, or about twelve square miles, and<br />
to <strong>in</strong>sure a considerable resiiknt population, it was resolved that no one person<br />
should receive a grant exceed<strong>in</strong>g one thousand acres.<br />
In April. 1759, four delegates from Connecticut and one from Rhode<br />
Island came to Halifax to negotiate the terms of settlement. <strong>The</strong>y were<br />
Major Dennison. Messrs. Jonathan Harris, Joseph Otis, and James Fuller,<br />
from Connecticut, and Mr. John Hicks, from Rhode Island. In the month<br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g their arrival the seal of the Prov<strong>in</strong>ce was attaclied to deeds convey-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g grants <strong>in</strong> the townships of Horton and Cornwallis to the Connecticut del-<br />
egates Mr. John Hicks, the delegate from Rhode Island, and Mr. .^mos<br />
Fuller desired that lands should be reserved for them and their constituents at<br />
W<strong>in</strong>dsor. From <strong>in</strong>formation contributed very k<strong>in</strong>dly by Barclay Webster.<br />
Esq., barrister at law at Kentville, Nova Scotia, it appears that by a deed bear-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g date July 21, 1761, some lands <strong>in</strong> the township of Cornwallis were assigned<br />
to a number of persons, among whom appears the name of " Hezekiah Cogs-<br />
hall," for one share and a half of the orig<strong>in</strong>al allotment. <strong>The</strong> spell<strong>in</strong>g of the<br />
surname is remarkable. If it was not the mode then prevail<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Connecti-<br />
cut, it is an evidence of the same carelessness or <strong>in</strong>diflerence to what was then<br />
probably considered a trivial matter, which is to be found <strong>in</strong> the pedigrees <strong>in</strong><br />
England of members of the De Coggeshall family. Tradition speaks of three<br />
founders of the new population as be<strong>in</strong>g remarkable for stature and physical<br />
strength. Mason Cosgwell, son of Hezekiah Cogswell, who is referred to above,<br />
was one of the three. It is mentioned as an <strong>in</strong>stance of his strength that he<br />
could lift a barrel of cider at arm's length, br<strong>in</strong>g it to his h"ps, and dr<strong>in</strong>k out of<br />
the bung hole. Had physical sports been encouraged <strong>in</strong> those days, this<br />
same strength would doubtless have found other opportunities of di-play,<br />
but the spirit of the Puritans was opposed to athletic exercises, as both frivo-<br />
lous and <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g a s<strong>in</strong>ful waste of time. <strong>The</strong>y forgot that they themselves<br />
had rejoiced <strong>in</strong> no less a gymnasium than a nnv iViit<strong>in</strong>eni : that <strong>in</strong> it they had<br />
not merely to wrestle with the sturdy trees of the " forest primeval," but with<br />
armed men, contest<strong>in</strong>g for no less a prize than the rod of empire. In the<br />
peaceful days that now followed, when the hard work was no longer necessary
"5<br />
whicli usi;d to develop the muscle and <strong>in</strong>duce vigorous health, evils accrued<br />
which alarmed those acqua<strong>in</strong>ted with sanitary science. To them it was clear<br />
that the monotony of daily labor, without wholesome recreation, and especially<br />
when the scene was transferred from the open field to the "store," count<strong>in</strong>g-<br />
house, and office, was seriously affect<strong>in</strong>g the public health, both physical and<br />
moral. To remedy this, a systematic return to the athletic games of the old<br />
countries was sucessfully recommended some quarter of a century ago, and<br />
now the bat, the oar of the amateur, and the volunteer's rifle are familiar among<br />
not only the youthful, but the adult population of New Scotland.<br />

Hezekiah Cogswell settled <strong>in</strong> Lebanon, Conn. <strong>The</strong> record of the First<br />
Church <strong>in</strong> that town shows that Hezekiah owned the Covenant, Jan. 2, 1732.<br />
He received a con\-ey.qnce of land Nov. 6, J 731, from his parents, and made<br />
purchase of other land. May 19, 1732, <strong>in</strong> Hebron, Conn., where, from mention<br />
made, it appears he resided <strong>in</strong> 1758. In 1761 Mr. Cogswell with his family<br />
emigrated to Nova Scotia. <strong>The</strong> youngest child was perhaps ten years of age
ii6<br />
when they embarked for New Scotland. Some of their children did not<br />
accompany their parents, and two or three went to return. It is said that their<br />
daughter Ann [474 1, with her sister Diademia [415], did not leave the ship,<br />
but came back to New England on the return of the vessel. <strong>The</strong>re appears<br />
on the records of Lebanon, Conn., " Eliphalet Cogswell, hapt. Dec. 15, 1734;<br />
Samuel hapt. Nov. 22, 1741," who may have been the children of Hezekiah<br />
Cogswell. <strong>The</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>cident is narrated: "When Hezekiali Cogswell<br />
and family were about to embark for Nova Scoti.i <strong>in</strong> 1761, the grandmother felt<br />
unwill<strong>in</strong>g to lose her little pet, the youngest boy, and so hid him away and told<br />
him to ' lie still and make no noise.' Search was made <strong>in</strong> all directions for the<br />
little fellow <strong>in</strong> va<strong>in</strong>, and the grandmother refused to give him up. But when<br />
the ship could wait no longer, tiie troubled father called aloud,<br />
' Mason,' at<br />
which the child, unused to disobdience, answered, 'Sir.' This of course dis-<br />
covered his whereabouts, and he was taken on board, much to the discomfiture<br />
and grief of his dot<strong>in</strong>g grandmother." Mr. Cogswell became an elder <strong>in</strong> the<br />
Presbyterian Church <strong>in</strong> Co<strong>in</strong>wallis, N. S., and cont<strong>in</strong>ued to occupy an elder's<br />
seat <strong>in</strong> church until age and distance prevented his attendance on public wor-<br />
ship. He was fond of read<strong>in</strong>g religious books. Flavel was his fav ^rite author.<br />
Mr. Cogswell lived to such extreme age, n<strong>in</strong>ety-seven years, that he could<br />
not distmguish an apple from a potato, and did not recognize his own children.<br />
Mrs. Cogswell survived her husband, and died at the age of about n<strong>in</strong>ety<br />
years. She has been characterized as a strong-m<strong>in</strong>ded woman, and it has been<br />
said that " She held the purse-str<strong>in</strong>gs and ruled her house <strong>in</strong> all that a woman<br />
might."<br />

After the e.xpulsion of the French, <strong>in</strong> 1755, and dur<strong>in</strong>g the last year of the reign of George II.,<br />
1760, colonists were <strong>in</strong>vited by royal proclamation to come and possess the land. Each pro-<br />

James Cogswell was the youngest of his father's family- He was about<br />
four years old when his parents removed, 1724, from Saybrook to Lebanon,<br />
Conn. He experienced religion when a lad of fifteen years, and was received<br />
to the church <strong>in</strong> Lebanon. Dec. 29, 1735. -^^ the age of twenty-two years he<br />
gradu.-ited from Yale College, <strong>in</strong> the class of 1742. After complet<strong>in</strong>g his<br />
theological studies he was orda<strong>in</strong>ed and <strong>in</strong>stalled, Dec. 28, 1744. the pastor of<br />
the church <strong>in</strong> Canterbury, Conn After a m<strong>in</strong>istry of twenty-seven ye.irs he<br />
resigned, Nov. 5, i77i,and soon after, Feb. 19, 1772, was <strong>in</strong>stalled the pastor<br />
of the church <strong>in</strong> Scotland Parish, W<strong>in</strong>dham, Conn., where he fulfilled a m<strong>in</strong>-<br />
istry of thirty-three years, and resigned <strong>in</strong> 1804. Thus his active m<strong>in</strong>isterial<br />
service covered a period of sixty years, and at the age of eighty-four years<br />
he retired from public labor <strong>in</strong> the gospel, and made his home with the only<br />
survivor of his family of five children. Dr. Mason Fitch Cogswell, of Hart-<br />
ford, Conn. Rev. Dr. Cogswell survived but a few years. His death occurred<br />
Jan. 2, 1807. <strong>The</strong> funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Nathan Strong. D. D.,<br />
and he was buried <strong>in</strong> the North Bury<strong>in</strong>g Ground, of Hartford, Conn. <strong>The</strong><br />
spot is marked by a fitt<strong>in</strong>g monument to his memory.<br />
Rev. Ur. Cogswell had a long, laborious, and useful m<strong>in</strong>istry. His life was<br />
one of many and great afflictions; his m<strong>in</strong>istry doubtless had its shady side,<br />
and his old age had its <strong>in</strong>firmities, but he kept the faith, was a faithful m<strong>in</strong>ister<br />
of Jesus Christ, and atta<strong>in</strong>ed unto his crown of heavenly reward. Dr. Cogswell<br />
has been described thus : " A good logician and a graceful speaker, moderate<br />
<strong>in</strong> his own op<strong>in</strong>ions, tolerant of those of others, mild <strong>in</strong> temper, and<br />
affable <strong>in</strong> manner, dignified <strong>in</strong> tiie pulpit, and conciliatory <strong>in</strong> private. His<br />
pulpit abilities, comb<strong>in</strong>ed with k<strong>in</strong>dl<strong>in</strong>ess of temper and genial manners, won<br />
popular favor." He was a well-read student and a teacher of theology. He<br />
was called by contemporaries, "<strong>The</strong> big theologian," and students for the m<strong>in</strong><br />
istry resorted to him for <strong>in</strong>struction. Among his pupils were Josiah Whitney,<br />
afterwards pastor of Brooklyn Parish, and Naphtali Daggett, subsequently the<br />
President of Yale College<br />
Rev. Dr. Cogswell was called to preach on special occasions. When, for<br />
example, April 19, 1783, Wash<strong>in</strong>gton announced the cessation of hostilities, a<br />
public service was held <strong>in</strong> the meet<strong>in</strong>g-house on W<strong>in</strong>dham Green, he was des-<br />
ignated to preach the sermon, whicii was widely commended. Among his pub-<br />
lished sermons were an election sermon, preached <strong>in</strong> 177 1, a sermon on the<br />
death of Rev. Solomon Williams, D. D., March 4, 1776, <strong>in</strong> Lebanon. Conn.,<br />
and a sermon at the funeral of Rev. Samuel Moseley, pastor of Hampton,<br />
Conn., <strong>in</strong> 1791.<br />
He received the degree of D. D. from Yale College <strong>in</strong> 1790, and held a<br />
prom<strong>in</strong>ence among the lead<strong>in</strong>g div<strong>in</strong>es of his day. Dr. Cogswell's home was<br />
always the centre of much literary and social culture. His first wife, Mrs.<br />
Alice Cogswell, belonged to one of the most cultured families <strong>in</strong> the State, the<br />
Fitch family. His second wife, Mrs. .Manila Cogswell, was the widow of
Rev. Ebenezer Devotion, who had preceded him <strong>in</strong> the pastorate of Scotland<br />
Parish. Her daughter became the wife of Hon. Samuel Hunt<strong>in</strong>gton, who, <strong>in</strong><br />
1784, was made Chief Justice of the State of Connecticut, and <strong>in</strong> 1786 chosen<br />
Governor, be<strong>in</strong>g re-elected each year until his death. Dr. Cogswell's sons and<br />
Mrs. Cogswell's daughters were all highly educated and accomplished, so that<br />
the Scotland parsonage was the centre of much social attraction. Among<br />
the celebrities who were frequent visitors were Gen. Putnam, of Revolutionary<br />
fame. Gov. Hunt<strong>in</strong>gton and his brilliant brothers, and others prom<strong>in</strong>ent <strong>in</strong> the<br />
State and country.<br />
Dr. Cogswell experienced heavy bereavements <strong>in</strong> his family. Soon after<br />
his settlement <strong>in</strong> Scotland Parish, his wife, Mrs. Alice Cogswell, died, and a<br />
few weeks later his only daughter, at the age of twenty-three years, and spoken<br />
of as " a young lady highly educated and accomplished <strong>in</strong> the useful as well as<br />
ornamental parts of female learn<strong>in</strong>g," and there was engraved this <strong>in</strong>scription<br />
to her memory : "She departed this va<strong>in</strong> and transitory life <strong>in</strong> firm hope of a<br />
glorious immortality." <strong>The</strong>n followed, soon after, the death of his little son,<br />
Septimus, and not long after his second marriage, the death of Mrs. Martha<br />
Cogswell's youngest daughter, Betsey Devotion, a very beautiful and <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g<br />
young lady. Her death occurred suddenly <strong>in</strong> March, 1775. In 17S5 his son,<br />
Samuel Cogswell, a young lawyer of great promise, was accidentally shot dead.<br />
In 1792 his oldest son, Dr. James Cogswell, of Xew Votk, died from disease<br />
contracted by fidelity <strong>in</strong> his profession. <strong>The</strong>n, <strong>in</strong> 1795, his second wife died<br />
suddenly of paralysis, and so his life seemed to be filled with personal bereave-<br />
ments. And, added to all, <strong>in</strong> his later years of gospel m<strong>in</strong>istrations there<br />
arose some differences between him and his parish. His salary was poorly<br />
paid and his people dissatisfied, show<strong>in</strong>g that " length of days " was not alto-<br />
gether desirable when one was settled <strong>in</strong> the pastorate for life. In his old age<br />
there was provided for him a most delightful home <strong>in</strong> the family of his son <strong>in</strong><br />
Hartford, a seem<strong>in</strong>g compensation to him for the provision he had made for<br />
his own aged parents many years before, at his home <strong>in</strong> Canterbury. Conn.<br />
In his last illness Rev. Dr. Cogswell seemed to lose all knowledge even of<br />
his nearest friends. He forgot, <strong>in</strong>deed, his own name. When asked if he<br />
remembered his son, Mason Fitch, he replied : " I do not recollect that I ever<br />
had a son." But when asked whether he remembered the Lord Jesus Christ,<br />
he replied at once by exclaim<strong>in</strong>g, " Oh, yes, I do remember ffitn .' He is my<br />
Lord axd Redef.mer!"<br />
It is said that Mrs. Sigourney has touch<strong>in</strong>gly described the scene of Rev.<br />
Dr. Cogswell's death-bed.<br />
Jttctnorauliai.<br />
Some <strong>in</strong>cidents are told of Rev. Dr. Cogswell. On one occasion he publicly protested<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st send<strong>in</strong>g a certa<strong>in</strong> man, Ze])haniah -Switt, as deputy to the General Assembly of the<br />
.State, declar<strong>in</strong>g himself "grieved and displeased that men should have so little regard for<br />
religion as to choose a man for deputy who has none." At the time of the death of his adopted<br />
daughter. Mi.ss Ketsey Hevotion, it is narrated that "<strong>The</strong> bereaved parents, greatly overcnna
y the shock, were persuaded by sympathiz<strong>in</strong>g friends to <strong>in</strong>dulge <strong>in</strong> the sooth<strong>in</strong>g stimulus of a<br />
cup of tea. <strong>The</strong>ir del<strong>in</strong>quency was soon made public, and Dr. Cogswell was <strong>in</strong>formed that<br />
they would be reported to the Committee of Inspection. He immediately waited upon that<br />
body, and, by a certificate from his physician to the effect that the cup of tea had been taken<br />
as a medical prescription, was able to satisfy these officials. But the general public was nut<br />
so easily appeased. Aggrieved patriots cont<strong>in</strong>ued to express their resentment by open<br />
remonstrance and by stay<strong>in</strong>g at home from church service. Doughty old farmers rotle over<br />
from Pudd<strong>in</strong>g Hill with rebuke and grumble, and sharp-tongued good-wives did not hesitate<br />
to assure their m<strong>in</strong>ister that the public would not be satisfied m'thout a confession and apology<br />
from the ' pulpit. Some <strong>in</strong>sisted that his name and offence should be published <strong>in</strong> the Norwich<br />
Packet' and ' Xew<br />
London Gazette.' Dr. Cogswell, always nervously sensitive to the<br />
piilli.- op<strong>in</strong>ion, was greatly annoyed and distres.sed by these manifestations of displeasure on<br />
the part of the people. But to relieve matters, providentially, soon came the news of the hat-<br />
tie at Le.\<strong>in</strong>gton, which swept away all m<strong>in</strong>or c.vcitenients."<br />
In Dr. Cogswell's diary, under date of July 2, 1788, record is made of a most terrific and<br />
devastat<strong>in</strong>g thunder and hail storm: "A black cloud seemed to settle down upon Westm<strong>in</strong>-<br />
ster Parish, and the hailstones fell to the depth of n<strong>in</strong>eteen <strong>in</strong>ches."<br />

Jonathan Cogswkll was the youngest of fourteen children. His father.<br />
Dr. Xathaniel Cogswell, was a man of superior education and acquirements, a<br />
model of the most remarkable <strong>in</strong>tegrity, and of the purest character. He<br />
received from his pious and devoted mother early religious <strong>in</strong>struction, and at<br />
the age of seventeen years became a Christian. Soon after his conversion,<br />
he received what was to him a most unmistakable call to preach the Gospel,<br />
and accord<strong>in</strong>gly set himself to obey the div<strong>in</strong>e bidd<strong>in</strong>g. It is said that his<br />
father was not favorably <strong>in</strong>cl<strong>in</strong>ed to his son's purpose to enter the m<strong>in</strong>istry ; he<br />
labored to dissuade him, and even refused to render him pecuniary assistance<br />
<strong>in</strong> his preparatory course of study. But so strong were his son's convictions<br />
of duty that he waived all oppos<strong>in</strong>g considerations, and without delay entered<br />
upon his studies. In the spr<strong>in</strong>g of 1803 he was admitted to Harvard College,<br />
and graduated <strong>in</strong> 1806, among the first scholars of his class. Prof. Joseph<br />
Green Cogswell, LL. D. [3501. a distant cous<strong>in</strong>, was a member of the same<br />
class Mr. Cogswell, still <strong>in</strong>tent on his early purpose to enter the m<strong>in</strong>istry,<br />
at once engaged <strong>in</strong> teach<strong>in</strong>g, to obta<strong>in</strong> the means to prosecute his theologi-<br />
cal studies. For two years, 1807-9, '""^ was under appo<strong>in</strong>tment as Tutor <strong>in</strong><br />
Bowdo<strong>in</strong> College, meanwhile pursu<strong>in</strong>g somewhat the study of <strong>The</strong>ology. Sub-<br />
sequently he was at Andover <strong>The</strong>ological Sem<strong>in</strong>ary for one year, associated<br />
with the first class that graduated from that <strong>in</strong>stitution, <strong>in</strong> 1810. Among the<br />
members of that class, and associated with it, were such men as Rev. Adoniram<br />
Judson, D. D., Rev. Samuel Newell. Rev. Richard S. Storrs, D. D., and<br />
Rev. Gardner Spr<strong>in</strong>g. D. ])., LL D. Mr. Cogswell about this time received<br />
several most flatter<strong>in</strong>g offers to take charge of prom<strong>in</strong>ent literary <strong>in</strong>stitutions,<br />
but refus<strong>in</strong>g them, he obta<strong>in</strong>ed license to preach and hav<strong>in</strong>g received an <strong>in</strong>vita-<br />
tion to settle, Oct. 24, iSio, was orda<strong>in</strong>ed to the Gospel M<strong>in</strong>istry, and <strong>in</strong>stalled<br />
pastor, be<strong>in</strong>g the fourth pastor, of the C'ongregationalist Church <strong>in</strong> Saco, Me.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>in</strong>stallation sermon was preached by Rev. Paul Coff<strong>in</strong>, D. D., and was<br />
published. <strong>The</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g May, iSii, he married Mis.-. Elizabeth Abbott,<br />
the niece of Samuel Abbott, Esq., who had been to her as a father s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
the death of her parents. Samuel Abbott, Esq., gave to Andover <strong>The</strong>ological<br />
Sem<strong>in</strong>ary one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and became the founder<br />
of the Abbott Professorship <strong>in</strong> that <strong>in</strong>stitution. As illustrat<strong>in</strong>g Mr. Cosgwell's<br />
spirit of consecration to Christ's service, it should perhaps receive mention<br />
that it was his cherished desire to labor as a missionary <strong>in</strong> Western New York,<br />
and he was actually on his way thither, when he received an <strong>in</strong>vitation to<br />
preach <strong>in</strong> Saco, which was so clearly providential that he felt bound to accept<br />
it. He was settled, and for eighteen years labored there with great fidelity<br />
and marked success, until his multiplied and long-cont<strong>in</strong>ued service resulted <strong>in</strong><br />
such physical and mental exhaustion that his physician assured him he must<br />
discont<strong>in</strong>ue preach<strong>in</strong>g or he could not live. He at once resigned, Oct. 16.<br />
1828, and removed to New York City, where he spent the w<strong>in</strong>ter. <strong>The</strong> April<br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g he accepted an <strong>in</strong>vitation to a new pastorate, and .Aug. 28, 1829.

was <strong>in</strong>stalled over the church <strong>in</strong> New Brita<strong>in</strong> Parish. Berl<strong>in</strong>. Conn., where he<br />
rema<strong>in</strong>ed until lie was called, June 21, 1834, to the Chair of Ecclesiastical<br />
Histor}- <strong>in</strong> the <strong>The</strong>ological Institute of Connecticut, at East W<strong>in</strong>dsor Hill.<br />
He was <strong>in</strong>augurated Professor of Church History <strong>in</strong> that Institution, May 13,<br />
1834 In 1836 he received the degree of S. T. D. from the University of<br />
New York. Mrs. Cogswell died <strong>in</strong> 1837. Her burial was the first that took<br />
place with<strong>in</strong> the New Cemetery near the <strong>The</strong>ological Institute of East W<strong>in</strong>dsor<br />
Hill. Of Mrs. Cogswell it was said " : She was an ornament to her sex, tiie<br />
church and society." .\n obituary notice pr<strong>in</strong>ted at the time passes the higli-<br />

Col. John Bayard, of Bohemia Manor, "Great House," Maryland In 1S42<br />

which occurred at the age of about eiglity two years. Aug. i, 1S64, only a few<br />
months after the decease of his wife, Mrs. Jane E. Cogswell, who died March<br />
6, 1864. <strong>The</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g obitusry notice of Rev. Prof. Jonathan Cogswell. I). D..<br />
of New Brunswick, N. J., appeared <strong>in</strong> some public journal soon after his<br />
death :<br />
" With reference to his character as a man. Christian liberality was his<br />
most marked characteristic. In 1811, when the work of Foreign Missions was<br />
awaken<strong>in</strong>g and giv<strong>in</strong>g a new direction to the pecuniary resources of the<br />
church of Christ, he gave all the money he had to the cause, some $600 <strong>in</strong><br />
silver. Another <strong>in</strong>stance <strong>in</strong> which this same generous spirit was maniftsted,<br />
is furnished by his ten years of gratuitous service at East W<strong>in</strong>dsor ; <strong>in</strong> addition<br />
to which he contributed largely to the Institution, not only <strong>in</strong> money, but <strong>in</strong><br />
books also, giv<strong>in</strong>g most of his pri\ate library, and many rare old English edi-<br />
tions of valuable works. S<strong>in</strong>ce his residence <strong>in</strong> New Brunswick, there has<br />
been no change <strong>in</strong> this respect. With the late Dr. Janeway and J. R. Ford,<br />
Esq., he aided <strong>in</strong> build<strong>in</strong>g the present tasteful edifice of the Second Presbyte-<br />
rian Church, contribut<strong>in</strong>g a handsome proportion of the entire cost; besides<br />
giv<strong>in</strong>g one half the price of the parsonage, a thousand dollars toward the permanent<br />
support of the m<strong>in</strong>ister, and repeated gifts, both to the pastor and<br />
people, up to the time of his decease. He was a Life Director of the .Ameri-<br />
can Bible Society, and a Life Member of the .<strong>America</strong>n Tract Society, the Seaman's<br />
Friend Society, the <strong>America</strong>n and Foreign Christian Union, and various<br />
other religious societies. He founded a scholarship, both <strong>in</strong> Rutgers College<br />
and <strong>in</strong> the College of New Jersey, and was a regular annual contributor to the
153<br />
various boards of the church of which he was an honored m<strong>in</strong>ister. Christian<br />
beneficence marked the whole course of his long life. As a preacher Dr.<br />
Cogswell was peculiarly zealous for sound doctr<strong>in</strong>e, and fearless <strong>in</strong> stat<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
defend<strong>in</strong>g it. His own faith was unwaver<strong>in</strong>g, and timidity <strong>in</strong> express<strong>in</strong>g what<br />
he believed was unknown to him. His own religious experience was pre-emi-<br />
nently doctr<strong>in</strong>al and reflective. Nourished by prayer, enriched by meditation,<br />
and <strong>in</strong>vigorated by knowledge, religion was to him a life, and faith an abid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ciple. When memory lost the record of other familiar th<strong>in</strong>gs, Jesus and<br />
his love rema<strong>in</strong>ed deeply graven upon her tablet. Great simplicity of charac-<br />
ter imparted a charm and gave tone to the whole tenor of his life. He was<br />
s<strong>in</strong>gularly free from that 'labor and sorrow' which mar the strength of the<br />
fourth score of years, and, like the patriarch of old, 'he gave up the ghost<br />
and died <strong>in</strong> a good old age, an old man and full ' of experiences, of graces,<br />
and of anticipations. He has gone to his reward, and his works do follow<br />
him. while we deplore his loss <strong>in</strong> these days, when 'the godly man ceaseth,<br />
and the faithful fail from among the children of men.' "<br />

JOHN DENISON RUSS, M. D.<br />
John Denison Russ, the only child o£ Dr. Paiker and Elizabeth (Cogswell) Riiss, was<br />
born Sept. I, iSoi, <strong>in</strong> Chebacco Parish, Ipswich, -Mass. His father was a practis<strong>in</strong>g physician<br />
and an accomplished classical educator.<br />
His grandmother, Elizabeth (Wise) Cogswell, was the granddaughter of Rev. John Wise,<br />
the first orda<strong>in</strong>ed m<strong>in</strong>ister of Chebacco Parish. Tpswich. He was the m<strong>in</strong>ister who was tried<br />
and imprisoned <strong>in</strong> Boston, Aug., 16S7, for publicly advis<strong>in</strong>g his parishioners to resist the col-<br />
lection of a tax imposed by Gov. Sir Edmund Andros. Two years later Andros was arrested<br />
and sent ignom<strong>in</strong>iously back to England.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mother of Elizabeth (Wise) Cogswell was daughter of Col. John and Mary (Lever-<br />
ett) Denison. Col. John Denison was son of Rev. John and Elizabeth (.Saltonstall) Denison,<br />
and the great-grandson of both (lov. Thomas Dudley and .Sir Richard Saltonstall. His wife,<br />
.Mary (Leverett) Denison, was the daughter of Hon. John Leverett, F. R. S., President of<br />
Harvard College, and great-granddaughter of Sir John Leverett, Governor of Massachusetts,<br />
1673-9. John Denison Russ, <strong>in</strong> fitt<strong>in</strong>g for college, was a classmate of Hon. Rufus Choatc<br />
under Dr. Abbott, of Exeter, N. H. He gr.iduated from Yale College <strong>in</strong> 1S23; was called by<br />
his college mates "Duke of Essex." He i>nrsned his medical studies at IJowdo<strong>in</strong> College and<br />
other medical schools <strong>in</strong> Baltimore, Boston, and New Haven, and received his medical degree<br />
from Vale College <strong>in</strong> 1S25. He spent a year <strong>in</strong> Europe, <strong>in</strong> the hospitals of Paris, London,<br />
Ed<strong>in</strong>burgh, and Dubl<strong>in</strong>, and on his return commenced jnactice <strong>in</strong> New York City. Possess<strong>in</strong>g<br />
an anijile estate, he gratified his philanthropy by render<strong>in</strong>g wide medical service without<br />
charge. His .sympathy for human suffer<strong>in</strong>g became a religious passion.<br />
Dr. Russ, <strong>in</strong> 1S27, took an active part <strong>in</strong> aid of the Greeks, <strong>in</strong> their desperate struggle for<br />
libertv aga<strong>in</strong>st the Turks. He took charge of the brig "Statesman " from Boston, freighted<br />
with medical and other store.s, and proceeded to Greece as an almoner to the suffer<strong>in</strong>g<br />
l)atriots. He rema<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> Greece three years, devot<strong>in</strong>g himself to this work. So serviceable<br />
was Dr. Russ to the Greeks that the Turks placed a price on his head of twenty thousand<br />
piaster^. On his return to <strong>America</strong> he visited Sicily, Italy, Malta, and France. He brought<br />
the first <strong>in</strong>telligence of the French Revolution of that year to this country. He recommenced<br />
practice <strong>in</strong> Xew York City. His residence for some time was a cottage near the site of the<br />
Clarendon Hotel. He never .sent a bill to any patient for service. He became <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong><br />
the <strong>in</strong>struction of the bl<strong>in</strong>d. An <strong>in</strong>stitution for the bl<strong>in</strong>d was <strong>in</strong>corporated, 1S39, <strong>in</strong> Massachusetts,<br />
and one <strong>in</strong> Xew York <strong>in</strong> the spr<strong>in</strong>g of 1S31. But as yet no bl<strong>in</strong>d person had been<br />
taught on this cont<strong>in</strong>ent, and no one could be obta<strong>in</strong>ed who knew how to give them <strong>in</strong>struc-<br />
tion. And when the humane design was about to be rel<strong>in</strong>quished, Dr. Russ offered his service,<br />
hav<strong>in</strong>g obta<strong>in</strong>ed some idea of such <strong>in</strong>struction <strong>in</strong> Europe. He commenced, March 15, 1S32, to<br />
<strong>in</strong>struct three bl<strong>in</strong>d boys from the almshouse <strong>in</strong> Xew 'S'ork; May ig there were six under his<br />
<strong>in</strong>struction, which was the first attempt of the k<strong>in</strong>d <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong>. Dr. Russ was <strong>in</strong>vited to go to<br />
Boston and organize the <strong>in</strong>stitution for the lil<strong>in</strong>d <strong>in</strong> that city, but decl<strong>in</strong>ed, and Dr. Howe was<br />
appo<strong>in</strong>ted. He was the first to <strong>in</strong>troduce maps with raised surface for the bl<strong>in</strong>d. In the<br />
autnnni of 1832 he exhibited to the public, <strong>in</strong> City Hotel, his methods of <strong>in</strong>struct<strong>in</strong>g the bl<strong>in</strong>d,<br />
and made another exhibition at Rev. Dr. McMurray's church on Market Street. June 5,<br />
1S33. To him is due the honor of establish<strong>in</strong>g the Institution for the lil<strong>in</strong>d <strong>in</strong> Xew York.<br />
Dr. Russ assisted, 1843, <strong>in</strong> the organization of the Xew York Prison .Association. He<br />
wrote a verv popular jjajier on prison discipl<strong>in</strong>e, which was mentioned by CJeorge .Sumner, Esq.,<br />
brother uf Hon. Charles Sumner, at the First Prison Congress <strong>in</strong> Italy, as the ablest work on<br />
that subject s<strong>in</strong>ce Liv<strong>in</strong>gston's famous " Penal Code."<br />
Dr. Russ was <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> the gradual emancipation of the slaves, and wrote a leUer to<br />
lion. Henry Clay, then I'resident of the Colonization Society, stat<strong>in</strong>g his pl.<strong>in</strong>. He was<br />
elected, 1S4S, a member of the Board of Education of the city of Xew York, and was largely<br />
<strong>in</strong>strumental <strong>in</strong> the establishment of the Xew York Juvenile .\sylum, of which he was the<br />
efficient super<strong>in</strong>tendent for seven years, until he resigned <strong>in</strong> 1S5S. He assisted <strong>in</strong> found<strong>in</strong>g<br />
several other charitable <strong>in</strong>stitntion> <strong>in</strong> New York. In 1.S50. with ihc co.upcraiion of his wife
155<br />
I'l. Russ ]iianied, 1S30, an accomplished English lady, a widow with four children. Mrs.<br />
Rnss died April ;S, 1S60. Dr. Russ, after twelve year.s, married, .\pril, 1S72, Miss Elise B.<br />
Birdsell, daughter of James Uirdsell, of Ohio, who survived him. He had no children of<br />
his own. Elizabeth Russ, a daughter of his fir.st wife, married, 1S58, Hon. Frederic Cogs-<br />
well [ 622 ].<br />
Dr. Russ, a few years before his death, retired to a picturest|i. ; estate on the high, roll-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g land about two miles from the pla<strong>in</strong>s of Pompton, X. J. Here he fitted up a modern,<br />
square, Gothic po<strong>in</strong>ted home.stead, know^n as "Hillside Cottage," a house neither too large<br />
nor too small for the largest measure of comfort, where he gave himself to reliev<strong>in</strong>g want,<br />
and to benevolence, his pleasant home be<strong>in</strong>g the hospitable resort of the cultured and the<br />
ref<strong>in</strong>ed, of em<strong>in</strong>ent scholars and well-known philanthropists. His last illness was of about<br />
two weeks' duration and entirely pa<strong>in</strong>less. It was the sweet and peaceful go<strong>in</strong>g out of a<br />
well-spent life. Xo sickness could have been more free from suffer<strong>in</strong>g, and no death scene<br />
more tranquil. His funeral w.is just at suii^tt on Wednesday, March 2, 1S81. <strong>The</strong> imme-<br />
diate friends and nei^hl<strong>in</strong>i- yatlitrud at "Ilillsiili. Cottage." <strong>The</strong> sunset service was beauti-<br />

ance with his own request his rema<strong>in</strong>s were taken to Esse.\-, Mass., his birthplace, and<br />
deposited <strong>in</strong> the family vault of the <strong>Cogswells</strong>, beside those of the father and mother of<br />
the deceased. "Thus with a 'few last words of faith and prayer,' a good man was laid<br />
gently to rest." By the provisions of his will, after the death of his wife his estate goes to<br />
hi- n.uive town of K.sse.\, to found a I'ublic I.ibiary. Various highly eulogistic tributes were<br />
published at the time of Dr. Russ's death. "In the life of an earnest, conscientious jihilan-<br />
thro))ist there is peculiar beauty and strength, and when such a life closes at its full maturity,<br />
the silent pressure of its <strong>in</strong>fluence rema<strong>in</strong>s like a perpetual benediction." I'hi. In Memori.\m<br />

HON. OTIS PHILLIPS LORD, LL. D.<br />
Otis Phillips Li.rd, son of Nathaniel Lord, Esq., was born July 11, 1S12, <strong>in</strong> Ipswich,<br />
Ma.ss. He graduated, 1S3:;, from Amherst College, studied law, and commenced the practice<br />
of his profession <strong>in</strong> his native town. His abilities soon became known, and his practice<br />
<strong>in</strong>creased rapidly. He removed to Salem, Mass., and became the lead<strong>in</strong>g lawyer of Essex<br />
County and a peer of the most ])rom<strong>in</strong>ent lawyers <strong>in</strong> the Commonwealth. <strong>The</strong> Superior<br />
Court of Massachusetts was established <strong>in</strong> 1859, and Mr. Lord received appo<strong>in</strong>tment to a<br />
seat on the Bench, with Messrs. Allen, Rockwell, Wilk<strong>in</strong>son, Krigham, Putnam, Russell,<br />
Vose, Ames, and Morton. It was a matter of common knowledge that while Judge Lord<br />
occupied this position his decisions were rarely overruled by the Law Court, and compara-<br />
tively few exceptions taken to his rul<strong>in</strong>gs. Judge Lord received, 1S69, the degree of LL. D.<br />
from Amherst College. He was appo<strong>in</strong>ted <strong>in</strong> 1875 ^^ '^'°^- Ci^ston a Justice of the Supreme<br />
Judicial Court of Massachusetts, which position he filled with marked ability for several<br />
years, and resigned Dec. 6, 1SS2.<br />

member of the Legislature, where he was an acknowledged leader, and <strong>in</strong> 1854 was elected<br />
Speaker of the House of Representatives. <strong>The</strong> natural abilities of Judge Lord, comb<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
with accurate knowledge, quick perception, and remarkable memory, won for him em<strong>in</strong>ence<br />
<strong>in</strong> his profession, and rendered him a man of command<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>in</strong> the elevated sphere <strong>in</strong><br />
which he was called to act. Me was one of the most em<strong>in</strong>ent jurists of New England.<br />

Harvard College.<br />
In the autumn of 1823 Mr. Cogswell and Mr. George Bancroft, s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />
known as a historian, established a school for the more thorough teach<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
boys. This school was located at Round Hill, Northampton, Mass. It became<br />
<strong>in</strong>corporated as the "Round Hill Institution." In 1823 Mr. Cogswell was the<br />
sole Pr<strong>in</strong>cipal. <strong>The</strong> enterprise became <strong>in</strong>volved, and after an e.xistence of some<br />
ten years was abandoned <strong>in</strong> 1834. Mr. Cogswell accepted an appo<strong>in</strong>tment to<br />
take charge of a school <strong>in</strong> Raleigh, N. C, <strong>in</strong> May. 1834, where he rema<strong>in</strong>etl<br />
until 1837. He then sailed the fifth time for Europe, and upon his return.<br />

purchase of books and to exam<strong>in</strong>e European libraries.<br />
.After the death of Mr. .Astor. <strong>in</strong> 1848, Mr. Cogswell received the appo<strong>in</strong>t-<br />
ment of Super<strong>in</strong>tendent of the .Astor Library. This position he cont<strong>in</strong>ued to<br />
fill until 1861, when he named a successor, and retired to Cambridge, Mass.<br />
He there spent the even<strong>in</strong>g of his days <strong>in</strong> the quiet of his own home, near to<br />
the college he so much loved. In his later years he received the care and<br />
affectionate attentions of Rev. and Mrs. Hask<strong>in</strong>s, who were family relatives.<br />
Mrs. Hasli<strong>in</strong>s be<strong>in</strong>g a niece of his lamented wife, of whom he was bereft when<br />
their married life had hardly begun. Mr. Cogswell, while liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Cambridge,<br />
made an occasional trip to New York, to visit the Astor Library and his numer<br />
ous friends. He died at the age of eighty-five years, and was buried <strong>in</strong> Ipswich,<br />
Mass.<br />
Prof. Cogswell, <strong>in</strong> the course of his active and useful life, made n<strong>in</strong>e trips to<br />
Europe. He was the real orig<strong>in</strong>ator of the Astor Library <strong>in</strong> New York City,<br />
accomplished a great work for Harvard College, and was the prime mover <strong>in</strong><br />
establish<strong>in</strong>g and carry<strong>in</strong>g forward the Round Hill School for ten years, where<br />
were educated some of the most em<strong>in</strong>ent and literary men of that period. In<br />
1831 a list of the students at Round Hill was published, and conta<strong>in</strong>ed two<br />
hundred and n<strong>in</strong>ety-three names.<br />
At the age of eighty-four years Mr. Cogswell remarks " : 1 have reason for<br />
gratitude to God. I am not sensible of any failure <strong>in</strong> my mental faculties, or<br />
coldness <strong>in</strong> my aft'eclions. My self-love has not <strong>in</strong>creased, nor my love of<br />
friends dim<strong>in</strong>ished. <strong>The</strong> pleasures of active life are gone, but those of a tran<br />
quil, contemplative one are all left to me." His death occurred on Sunday,<br />
Nov. 26, 1 87 1.<br />
An appropriate Memorial N'olume of Prof. Joseph Green Cogswell, LL. D.,<br />
was published <strong>in</strong> 1S74 by Miss Anna E. Ticknor, <strong>in</strong> an edition of two hundred<br />
and twenty-two copies, for private distribution among friends.

ful was his adm<strong>in</strong>istration of the affairs of the company that he was re-elected<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>cipal ciiies of Italj-, and for a while studied <strong>in</strong> the hospitals of London.<br />
On ills return he at once resumed the ]5ractice of his profession. He boldly<br />
and successfully attempted capital operations <strong>in</strong> surgery, and became the lead-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g surgical operator and consult<strong>in</strong>g physician for a large circuit. He fitted<br />
up a well appo<strong>in</strong>ted dissect<strong>in</strong>g-room, and the advantages of his <strong>in</strong>struction<br />
were sought by many students to whom became known his superior knowledge<br />
of Technical .Anatomy. In 1844 Dr. Cogswell received, but decl<strong>in</strong>ed, an <strong>in</strong>vi-<br />
tation to occupy the chair of a Professor <strong>in</strong> the Medical Department of one of<br />
the lead<strong>in</strong>g colleges <strong>in</strong> Xew England. He had a great desire to elevate the<br />
standard of medical practice, and largely by his eiTorts the Esse.x North Medi-<br />
cal Association was organized, which i:)ecame a vigorous branch of the Massa-<br />
chusetts Medical Society. .^Iter Dr. Cogswell rel<strong>in</strong>quished the active praciice<br />
of liis profession, he still reta<strong>in</strong>ed hi> membership <strong>in</strong> this society, participated<br />
<strong>in</strong> its discussions of scientific .mil practical subjects, and contributed much to<br />
its success.<br />
Dr. Cogswell was called to till other positions of responsibility and trust.<br />
He was elected President of the Union Bank <strong>in</strong> Haverhill. Mass.. at its organization<br />
<strong>in</strong> 1849, •I"''' ^^'^^ elected to the same office when that <strong>in</strong>stitution became<br />
the First National Bank <strong>in</strong> 1864, which position he still filled <strong>in</strong> 1884. For<br />
many years he was the Mce- President of the Haverhill .Sav<strong>in</strong>gs Bank, and for<br />
a time the President of a Railroad Company He was an active member of<br />
the Chapman Hall meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Boston, which organized the Republican party<br />
<strong>in</strong> Massachusetts, with whith party he was ever <strong>in</strong> full accord. In 1852 he<br />
was a member of the I'.lcciijr.d <strong>in</strong>lleuL. which gave the vote of Massachu-<br />
setts for (ien. W<strong>in</strong>field .Scott. In 185S and 1859 he was a member of the<br />

years, he was removed by President Johnson, without cause, and was reap-<br />
po<strong>in</strong>ted to the same office by President Grant <strong>in</strong> 1S70, which position he held<br />
until 1875. when this district was consolidated with two other districts. This<br />
was one of the largest and most important pay<strong>in</strong>g districis <strong>in</strong> the country, and<br />
under the adm<strong>in</strong>istration of Dr. Cogswell its affairs were contlucted with<br />
marked efficienc}- and exactness. He was a member of the Electoral College<br />
of 1868. which gave the vote of the State for Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. Dr.<br />
Cogswell received the degree of A. M. from Dartmouth College <strong>in</strong> 1865. He<br />
was always deeply <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> educational matters and gave some of his best<br />
service to the management of important schools. He was for a long time a<br />
Trustee of .\tk<strong>in</strong>son .\cademy. and of the Pealiody .Acadt-my of Science, <strong>in</strong><br />
Salem, Mass. For nearly fifty years he was a Trustee of Bradford .Acailemy.<br />
and dur<strong>in</strong>g most of this lime had the entire management of its f<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />
afifairs. His efficiency <strong>in</strong> this work is best illustrated by the splendid appo<strong>in</strong>t-
2 14<br />
ments of this <strong>in</strong>stitution for the higher education of young ladies. <strong>The</strong> ample<br />
grounils, the perfection of the school edifice, the excellence of the teacliers.<br />
and the scope of its curriculum, give it a prom<strong>in</strong>ence and a power not<br />
excelled. He had the pleasure, with his associate trustees, of see<strong>in</strong>g this<br />
school, by the generosity and <strong>in</strong>terest of its many friends, placed upon an<br />
endur<strong>in</strong>g foundation. In the great reforms of the last half-century Dr. Cogs-<br />
well gave his <strong>in</strong>fluence by judicious advice and consistent example. He commenced<br />
actixe life with the tempeiance cause, and was an ardent supp Tter<br />
of the anti-slnvcry niovement fn.m the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to the end of that gre;il<br />
controversy.<br />
Dr. Cog.swell was evangelical <strong>in</strong> his religious con\ictions, and never deji.irted<br />
from the Scriptures of his ancestors. In 1S31 he became a member of -.he<br />
rlnnch <strong>in</strong> Bradford, and was always identified with its growth and prosperity.<br />
In 1 860 he assisted <strong>in</strong> form<strong>in</strong>g the Haverhill Montlav Even<strong>in</strong>c Clii:,<br />
which was com])osed of gentlemen of literary tastes, resid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Haverhill and<br />

Dr. Cog-well made his second visit to F.urope, and was at the World's Fair <strong>in</strong><br />
Paris. He <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> his travels tiie mounta<strong>in</strong>s and lakes of Switzerland.<br />
and portions of (Jermany. Belgium, and Holland. He also visited the rural<br />
districts of England. Scotland, and Ireland, giv<strong>in</strong>g much attention to the agri<br />
culiurai capabilities and resources of the countries through which he passed,<br />
and manifest<strong>in</strong>g the same enthusiasm <strong>in</strong> all objects of <strong>in</strong>terest that character-<br />

found time to de\i''i' no little attention to agriculture, and his broad acres on<br />

among the Regulars. A man whose name is Clark made his escape from Boston, the day<br />
before yesterday. He has a brother <strong>in</strong> the place. General Spencer saw and conversed with<br />
him. He says the Regulars had upwards of a thousand killed and wounded. Major I'itcairn<br />
was killed, and one of those generals that lately arrived, but which he could not tell. .\ num-<br />
ber of other officers of <strong>in</strong>ftrior rank were killed. <strong>The</strong> other man that made his escape con-<br />
firms this account. We h.ivc had no considerable engagement s<strong>in</strong>ce. <strong>The</strong> Regulars have<br />

MAsnN- FlTCii CdOSWELl. was baptized Oct. 4. 1761. the seventh day after<br />
liis birth. His mother died while he was but a lad of eleven years, and soon<br />
alter he went to be <strong>in</strong> tlie family of Hon. Samuel Hunt<strong>in</strong>gton, whose accom-<br />
plished wife was Mrs. .Martha (Devotion) Hunt<strong>in</strong>gton, dauglitev of Rev. Dr.<br />
Cogswell's predecessor <strong>in</strong> Scotland Parish, W<strong>in</strong>dham. Conn. Hon. Samuel<br />
Hunt<strong>in</strong>gton, <strong>in</strong> 1779-80. was the President of the Cont<strong>in</strong>ental Congress, and<br />
afterwards, from 17S6 to his death, <strong>in</strong> 1796. the Governor of Connecticut.<br />
Wliile <strong>in</strong> Mr. Hunt<strong>in</strong>gton's family he fitted for college, and was entered at<br />
Yale, the youngest member of his class, <strong>in</strong> 1776. He ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed his stand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and led his class <strong>in</strong> scholarship throughout the course, and graduated <strong>in</strong> 17S0<br />
with the highest honors, liav<strong>in</strong>g the Valedictory Oration. He had a natural gift<br />
for surgery, and chose the profession of medic<strong>in</strong>e. While pursu<strong>in</strong>g his studies<br />
he was with his brotlier, Dr. James Cogswell [418.1, <strong>in</strong> the Soldiers' Hospital,<br />
<strong>in</strong> Xew York City, wliere he actiuired great e.xpertness <strong>in</strong> surgery, and was<br />
verv dist<strong>in</strong>guished <strong>in</strong> this deparunent througliout his professional life. It is<br />
said that he was the most accurate, neat, and rapid operator <strong>in</strong> the country.<br />
His dexterity with the knife was wonderful. He once amputated .1 tln.li <strong>in</strong><br />
forty seconds.<br />
Dr. Cogswell had a m<strong>in</strong>d tli.it was never riifiled or disconcerled, and a<br />
hand that never trembled dur<strong>in</strong>g any oper.it^on. He fnst <strong>in</strong>troduced t<strong>in</strong>- most<br />
important ojjeration <strong>in</strong> remov<strong>in</strong>g a cataract from the eye, e.\tract<strong>in</strong>g it rather<br />
;
245<br />
than break<strong>in</strong>g it <strong>in</strong> pieces. He was tlie first one <strong>in</strong> this country to secure the<br />
carotid artery with a ligature ; and<br />
"that the Deaf and Dumb Asyhim <strong>in</strong> Hart-<br />
ford, Conn., owes its existence to the exertions of Dr. Cogswell, <strong>in</strong> the first<br />
<strong>in</strong>stance, is as familiarly known as the <strong>in</strong>stitution itself." He was moved to<br />
this by sympathy for his own daughter, Alice, a girl of strong and gifted m<strong>in</strong>d,<br />
but who by severe illness was rendered deaf and dumb at the age of six years.<br />
Her father, by read<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a French medical pamphlet of the successful teach-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g of the deaf and dumb across the water, was <strong>in</strong>spired to see if someth<strong>in</strong>g<br />
could not be done for such persons <strong>in</strong> this coimtry. It was largely by his<br />
<strong>in</strong>fluence that Rev. Thomas Gallaudet visited I'aris. gathered <strong>in</strong>formation, and<br />
brought back with him M. L. Clere. <strong>in</strong> iSi6, by whose services the first asylum<br />
for tiie deaf and dumb was established <strong>in</strong> <strong>America</strong>, and .Alice Cogsw^ell was ils<br />
first pupil.<br />
Dr. Cogswell may be said to have been the orig<strong>in</strong>ator of the Hartford<br />
.A.sylum for the Deaf and Dumb, as he was of the Hartford Retreat for Insane<br />
People. <strong>The</strong> former was foundetl <strong>in</strong> 1S20, the latter <strong>in</strong> 1S24. Dr. Cogswell<br />
was chosen, <strong>in</strong> 1S12, the President of the Connecticut Medic.d .Society, which<br />
olifice he held for ten years. He was not only a surgeon, but a scholar, poet,<br />
and Christian. He was an assiduous and successful cultivator of polite litera-<br />
ture, especially poetry. He was the companion and compeer of Dr. Ho|jk<strong>in</strong>s.<br />
judge Trumbull, Dr. .Strong. Mr. <strong>The</strong>odore Dwi^ht, and others. He was also<br />
a proficient <strong>in</strong> music.<br />
Dr. Cogswell's last illness was of short duration, last<strong>in</strong>g only five days.<br />
<strong>The</strong> whole ciiy of Hartford was moved by the event of his illness, and late at<br />
even<strong>in</strong>g people stood <strong>in</strong> groups along the sidewalks to <strong>in</strong>quire <strong>in</strong> whispei-- of<br />
the physicians as they came from the house, " How is he? " His death was<br />
a great public loss as well as a private aftfiction. His daughter Alice sank<br />
under tlie bereavement, and herself died two weeks later. For notice of<br />

D.wiD Chester AVhittle^ey was Justice of tlie Peace, County Commissioner, and <strong>in</strong><br />
1832 and 1S33 a member of the General Assembly of Connecticut. His character, and tliu<br />
res|)ect <strong>in</strong> which he was held, are reflected <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>g extract of an obituary whicli<br />
ajipeared Xov. 8, 1S83, <strong>in</strong> <strong>The</strong> Cc<strong>in</strong>gregatimNalist, of Boston, Mass.:<br />
DAVID C. WHITTLESEY.<br />
" On the morn<strong>in</strong>g of Oct. 13, David Chester Whittlesey, of Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, Conn., was called<br />
to rest, aged eighty years. For many years Mr. Whittlesey has been one of the prom<strong>in</strong>ent<br />
men <strong>in</strong> Litchfield County, and his death deserves more than a pa.ss<strong>in</strong>g notice. In the e.irthly<br />
career of this venerable man there are no materials for an excit<strong>in</strong>g biography. liut there is<br />
the power of a s<strong>in</strong>gle, earnest, considerate life. . It is a life that speaks to us by its s<strong>in</strong>cerity<br />
and truthfulness. His strict honesty and accurate knowledge of men and affairs gave him ;i<br />
wide and favorable acqua<strong>in</strong>tance <strong>in</strong> the State. As a student of men and bus<strong>in</strong>ess, he had.<br />
perha|)s, few superiors. He was known as a man without guile. Anythmg like compromiM.-<br />
with wrong, shrewd and unmanly tricks, <strong>in</strong>stead of straightforward methods of accomplish<strong>in</strong>g<br />
certa<strong>in</strong> ends, were abhorrent to all the delicate sensibilities of his moral and spiritual be<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
" His religious views were the result of much thought and careful <strong>in</strong>quiry. Whatever wa-<br />
good <strong>in</strong> him <strong>in</strong> spirit and act was the outcome of pr<strong>in</strong>ciple, not impulse. A deep, genu<strong>in</strong>e,<br />
abid<strong>in</strong>g pr<strong>in</strong>ciple controlled him. In all the relations of life he was faithful. He has left the<br />
record of an earnest Christian, a tender and lov<strong>in</strong>g husband and father, a faithful friend, a<br />
sympathizmg and oblig<strong>in</strong>g neighbor. His memory l<strong>in</strong>gers with precious fragrance <strong>in</strong> the hearts<br />
of the pco])le with whom he lived, and esjiecially <strong>in</strong> the hearts of his k<strong>in</strong>dred. While he<br />
abode <strong>in</strong> the flesh he strove to walk with God, and now, ' he is not, for God took him.' .'sui.li<br />
a life is of great value to every church and community where it is lived, and such a death, <strong>in</strong><br />
which there is no fear, is another demon.stration, both of the valni: of religion, and of its ctii<br />
cacy <strong>in</strong> that hour which must soon come to us all."<br />

May I th<strong>in</strong>k heaven brighter because of my boy ? "
Tilt follow<strong>in</strong>g is an extract from remark.s iiiadu al the funeral service lay<br />
Rev. R. K. Harlow, of .Mechvay, Mass.<br />
• And now at this <strong>in</strong>terruption of his earthly life we' reverently pause and<br />
ask. What virtues has it made emphatic? What lessons has it taught us?<br />
"Most conspicuous amonjf his virtues we would mt:-iion his faithfulness :<br />
duty was his k<strong>in</strong>g. And next we mention modesty, that made him w<strong>in</strong> and<br />
wear his honors with consummate grace :<br />
:<br />
and<br />
then a native k<strong>in</strong>dl<strong>in</strong>ess that<br />
made his friendships deep and tender, and filled his soul with charity, 'that<br />
th<strong>in</strong>keth no evil.' And then purity of thought and deed, that stamped its<br />
credentials on his clear, honest face, and over all an unobtrusive piet)', that<br />
graced and softened his whole be<strong>in</strong>g. He has taught us all how to put value<br />
<strong>in</strong>tu our liv<strong>in</strong>g and hope <strong>in</strong>to our death.<br />
"He has taught these college friends especially that it is possible to live<br />
amongst temptation and conquer it. He has emphasized the fact that schol-<br />
arship and politeness suit well together, and that culture and piety have no<br />
antagonisms. He has refuted the too commonly accepted college op<strong>in</strong>ion, that<br />
religion and stupidity are boon companions, by coupl<strong>in</strong>g the most brilliant<br />
scholarship with a s<strong>in</strong>cere piety. Is not this a most worthy record ? Has not<br />
his life done someth<strong>in</strong>g for the world ?<br />
"And so with these comfort<strong>in</strong>g memories of his life we carry our thoughts<br />
beyond this sad and strange present <strong>in</strong>to the future.<br />
" We believe that our dear young friend has entered <strong>in</strong>to God's rest; his<br />
life of purity and conscientiousness and fidelity and consecration, his thorough<br />
goodness <strong>in</strong> all the relations of life, leave us no room for doubt that the gates<br />
of the city of God were glad to open for his <strong>in</strong>com<strong>in</strong>g, and that the Master<br />
whom he served gave him a hearty welcome. 'Enter fhoii <strong>in</strong>to the joy of thy<br />
Lor.ir-<br />
From the numerous letters of sympathy receixed by the afflicted family, the<br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g was from Rev. George A. Gordon, then of Greenwich, Conn., after-<br />
wards called to the pastorate of the Old South Church, Boston, Mass. :<br />

THE HOW HENRY H COGSWELL.
387<br />
In 1825, at his persuasion, se\-en noted cajiitalists were <strong>in</strong>duced to jo<strong>in</strong> lii<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />
found<strong>in</strong>g the Halifax Bank<strong>in</strong>g Company, among the partners be<strong>in</strong>g Samuel<br />
CuNARD, a large ship-owner, and the future mail contractor of world-wide<br />
celebrity. <strong>The</strong> others were Johti Clark, Joseph Allison. William Pryor, James<br />
To/'<strong>in</strong>. Enos Coll<strong>in</strong>s, and Mart<strong>in</strong> Gay Black. How the enterprise fared was<br />
long a mystery to the public, but at length the truth got abroad that the<br />
profits partook of the "fabulous," and as a consequence "the old bank " has<br />
now many flourish<strong>in</strong>g rivals. Mr. Cogswell was chosen the first President,<br />
and that office he cont<strong>in</strong>ued to hold until his death <strong>in</strong> 1854.<br />
We f<strong>in</strong>d it recorded <strong>in</strong> Murdoch, that <strong>in</strong> 1818 Mr. Cogswell was returned<br />
at the head of the poll as member for Halifa.x, and escaped the usual honor of<br />
a chair<strong>in</strong>g by plead<strong>in</strong>g as an e.xcuse the recent loss of a child, apparently John,<br />
the third son, who died at an early age. In 1824 he was appo<strong>in</strong>ted Registrar<br />
<strong>in</strong> the Court of Chancery, which position he held until 1829. <strong>The</strong> next step<br />
<strong>in</strong> promotion was his elevation to the rare and coveted honor of a seat <strong>in</strong> the<br />
Legislative Council, <strong>in</strong> 1831. It was dur<strong>in</strong>g his connection with that body that<br />
a long-cont<strong>in</strong>ued agitation aga<strong>in</strong>st its constitution proved f<strong>in</strong>ally successful.<br />
Mr. Cogswell cont<strong>in</strong>ued to take a warm <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> objects of public utility,<br />
and <strong>in</strong> particular was a prom<strong>in</strong>ent supporter of the scheme for construct<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
railroad from Halifax to Quebec. This great work, now long accomplislied,<br />
was for many years regarded as all but hopeless, on account of the f<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />
difficulties <strong>in</strong> the way. In th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g over these it occurred to him that if the<br />
Prov<strong>in</strong>ces were deficient <strong>in</strong> money, they possessed the reality of wealth <strong>in</strong> the<br />
shape of vast tracts of ungranted land, and he proposed that five millions of<br />
acres along the <strong>in</strong>tended l<strong>in</strong>e should be appropriated as security for a loan.<br />
This plan immediately took a strong hold on the public m<strong>in</strong>d, but it conflicted<br />
with rival schemes, and no progress was made with the railroad until after the<br />
confederation of tlie Prov<strong>in</strong>ces, when it was completed out of the general<br />
revenue. Put the idea survived, and has been s<strong>in</strong>ce applied on the largest<br />
scale <strong>in</strong> the cont<strong>in</strong>uation of the l<strong>in</strong>e to the Pacific. His views were published<br />
<strong>in</strong> a pamphlet <strong>in</strong> 1852.<br />
Mr. Cogswell died No\-. 9, 1S54, <strong>in</strong> his family mansion on Argyle Street.<br />
Halifax, N. S., at the age of seventy-eight. He had been long <strong>in</strong> fail<strong>in</strong>g<br />
health, hav<strong>in</strong>g suffered much affliction from the loss of his wife and several of<br />
his children. As his end approached he expressed a hope that he might be<br />
spared the trial of a protracted illness, and his desire was granted. His<br />
rema<strong>in</strong>s were <strong>in</strong>terred <strong>in</strong> the family enclosure at the Camp Hill Cemeterv,<br />
the site be<strong>in</strong>g marked bv a monument of native granite sculptured with the<br />
emblematic scallop shells.<br />
Mrs. Isabella (ELLisi Cogswell was the daughter of Rev. William Ellis,<br />
Rector of W<strong>in</strong>dsor, N. S. Tliis gentleman's history is one of those romances<br />
<strong>in</strong> real life of which the annals of colonization afiford so many examples.<br />
He was the son of a Master <strong>in</strong> Chancery <strong>in</strong> Ireland, and tak<strong>in</strong>g some-<br />
offence at the division of the paternal estate among the heirs, gave up every-<br />
th<strong>in</strong>g, and resolved on emigrat<strong>in</strong>g as a missionary to Nova Scotia. He was
3SS<br />
ord.i<strong>in</strong>ed Deacon and Priest by the Bisliop of London <strong>in</strong> 1774, and crossed<br />
tile Atlantic with liis wife, leav<strong>in</strong>g children beh<strong>in</strong>d them. His daughter Isabella<br />
was born nt W<strong>in</strong>dsor, the only child of the new home. Slie never saw brother<br />
or sister. That .Mr. Ellis had been a man of some good settled position <strong>in</strong><br />
Ireland would appear from the personal efTects he and his wife brought with<br />
them, some of which are still preserved as heirlooms, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g ricli brocade<br />
dresses, and articles of plate and jewelry engraved with a "Dolph<strong>in</strong>" crest.<br />
Of curious <strong>in</strong>terest are a lock of hair, and a gold r<strong>in</strong>g with the two sides slid-<br />
<strong>in</strong>g on each other, and so contrived that when they are brought together the<br />
mount<strong>in</strong>g represents a "hand <strong>in</strong> hand." <strong>The</strong>y were merely wrapped <strong>in</strong> a<br />
paper with the writ<strong>in</strong>g on it: " Flora Macdonald's hair and r<strong>in</strong>g." How they<br />
came <strong>in</strong>to the possession of the family is unknown, but Isabella Ellis used to<br />
speak of the r<strong>in</strong>g as one of several given by Charles Edward to Flora Mac-<br />
donald for distribution among his adherents.<br />
N<strong>in</strong>e children were the ottspr<strong>in</strong>g of the marriage, of whom three died <strong>in</strong><br />
childhood. Si.x reached maturity, and only one was liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 1S84, Charles<br />
Cogswell, M. D. 1<br />
1539 J. of London. Of those who grew up to adult<br />
estate, some were well known to a public that may possibly turn with peculiar<br />
<strong>in</strong>terest to tliis part of the volume for the sake of old memories.<br />
Hexrv Ellis Cogswkll was born <strong>in</strong> 1S06, and at the proper age was<br />
sent to the Halifa.x Grammar School, then, or soon after, 1 resided over by<br />
the Rev. Dr. Tw<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, whose labors <strong>in</strong> another field as Garrison Chapla<strong>in</strong> are<br />
commemorated <strong>in</strong> the memoir of Headley Vicars. When duly prepared he<br />
matriculated at K<strong>in</strong>g's College, where he was an ardent and successful student.<br />
But his lot was cast <strong>in</strong> the pre sanitary days of "all work and no play," and<br />
his health had early begun to sufifer from over-devotion to bra<strong>in</strong> work. .After<br />
tak<strong>in</strong>g his degree, he studied law <strong>in</strong> his father's office, but was cut off <strong>in</strong> his<br />
twenty-second year, before complet<strong>in</strong>g his term for admission to the bat. " .V<br />
YOUTH OF GREAT PROMISE." Such is his brief epitaph, written on the last<br />
page of Murdoch's history of Nova Scotia.<br />
Isabella B<strong>in</strong>xey Cogswell. <strong>The</strong> name of this lady was for many years<br />
a household word <strong>in</strong> Halifa.x. Her noble life may be regarded as one of the<br />
blessed results of her brother William's m<strong>in</strong>istry, and as one of the most<br />
remarkable examples of the Evangelical revival. <strong>The</strong> Lord Bishop of the<br />
Diocese, after her death quoted the follow<strong>in</strong>g words of Christ as applicable to<br />
her <strong>in</strong> every respect : " I was an hmtgcreil, anJ ye garc me meat ; I was thirsty,<br />
and ye gave mc dr<strong>in</strong>k ; I was a stranger, and ye took me <strong>in</strong> ; naked, and ye clothed<br />
me : I was siek, and ye visited me ; I 'luas <strong>in</strong> prison, and ye came unto me." To<br />
the hungry and thirsty she gave food and dr<strong>in</strong>k ; to the worn with toil, or<br />
enfeebled by age. or saddened with affliction, or straitened <strong>in</strong> circumstances,<br />
she gave sympathy and relief. She visited the prison to counsel, to pray with,<br />
to befriend, the depraved and the crim<strong>in</strong>al. Her constant attendance on the<br />
sick and dy<strong>in</strong>g prematurely exhausted her strength, and after fourteen nights<br />
spent <strong>in</strong> nurs<strong>in</strong>g a friend's family, she was <strong>in</strong> the grasp of a dangerous illness.<br />
I'rayers were ofTered for her recoverv bv everv religious denom<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>in</strong> H.d-
3^9<br />
ifax, but it pleased God to end the life of his f.iitiiful servant, and slie was laid<br />
to rest amid the grief of the entire con<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>ity. She had borne a chief pan <strong>in</strong><br />
found<strong>in</strong>g the Orphans' Home, the Eovs' Industrial Scimoi,. the Girls'<br />
Industrial School, and the Home for ihe Aged. In her will it was fomd<br />
she had made a provision towards their ma<strong>in</strong>tenance after her decease. A<br />
memorial font has been placed <strong>in</strong> the church once gladdened with her presence<br />
and worship. On the base of this memorial font is this <strong>in</strong>scription :<br />

Mrs. Anne (Cogswell') Morton <strong>in</strong> person was medium size. Slie had<br />
clear blue ej-es, a broad but rather low foreheatl. which are characteristic fea-<br />
tures of the descendants of her father, Mason Cogswell. She was a discreet,<br />
witty, and a f<strong>in</strong>e-look<strong>in</strong>g lady. Some one said of her, " I ki]ow of no woman<br />
who so nearly comes up to the standard of Solomon's description, 'Slie lookclli<br />
well to the ways of ha- household.' " <strong>The</strong>re were few specimens of useful or<br />
fancy work then known <strong>in</strong> which she did not <strong>in</strong>struct her daughters. She<br />
enjoyed with them, and encouraged their read<strong>in</strong>g of sound literary and religious<br />
books, and gave them an example which they could never forget. Her memory<br />
is /'/ess,;/.<br />
HON. JOHN MORTON.<br />
Hon. John Morton, who married A/i/ie Cogswell, descended from an<br />
English family, whose ancient homestead, dat<strong>in</strong>g 1300, was near Blackburn,<br />
England. His earliest ancestor <strong>in</strong> this country was George Morton, who came<br />
over <strong>in</strong> 1623 <strong>in</strong> the ship "Anne."<br />
Mr. Morton's father, Lemuel Morton, was born Jan. 20, 1754, and died <strong>in</strong><br />
1810. His mother, Martha Newcomb, was born Oct. 12, 1760, and was the<br />
first female child born among the colonists after their settlement <strong>in</strong> Xova<br />
Scotia. She died Feb. 11. 1838. He was of excellent parentage, and had<br />
good religious <strong>in</strong>struction. In early manhood he gave attention to agriculture,<br />
and for several years had the oversight of his grandfather's farm ; subse-<br />
quently, he purchased a tract of uncleared land, and with woodman's axe and<br />
manly perse\erance he laid low the primeval forests and brought under ciil<br />
tiwation many wide acres near the head waters of the Cornwallis Ri\er, not<br />
far from the present town of Ijcrwick, X. S. ; afterwards, he sold liis new-<br />
made farm <strong>in</strong> the wilderness, and <strong>in</strong> 1815 built a new house near where his<br />
grandfather had lived.<br />
Mr. Morton jo<strong>in</strong>ed the local militia <strong>in</strong> 18 10, with the commission of Capta<strong>in</strong>.<br />
He gradually rose <strong>in</strong> command, until <strong>in</strong> 1S35 lie was appo<strong>in</strong>ted Lieutenant-<br />
Colonel of the Si.xth Regiment. In 1827 he was chosen to represent Corn-<br />
wallis <strong>in</strong> the Prov<strong>in</strong>cial Parliament <strong>in</strong> Halifa.x. He was appo<strong>in</strong>ted by the<br />
Prov<strong>in</strong>cial Government, <strong>in</strong> 1835, Justice of the Peace for K<strong>in</strong>gs Co., and<br />
accepted the office of Commissioner of Sewers and Dykes. In 1840 he was<br />
appo<strong>in</strong>ted by Her Majesty the Queen to the Legislative Council of the l'ro\<br />
<strong>in</strong>ce of Nova Scotia.<br />
<strong>The</strong> warrant was given <strong>in</strong> the follow<strong>in</strong>u t|ua<strong>in</strong>l form:
39^<br />
"To our right trusty and well-beloved Councillor Charles Poulett Thomson, our Capta<strong>in</strong><br />
General and Governor <strong>in</strong> Chief <strong>in</strong> and over our Prov<strong>in</strong>ce of Nova Scotia, or <strong>in</strong> his absence<br />

thought hereby to signify our will and pleasure : that forthwith upon the receipt of these<br />
l^resents you swear and admit him, the said John Morton, to be of our Legislative Council of<br />
our Prov<strong>in</strong>ce of Nova Scotia, and for so do<strong>in</strong>g this shall be your warrant. Given at our<br />

(Signed) "J. RfsSELi.."<br />
In 1846, he was commissioned by Lord Falkland, then Lieutenant-Governor<br />
at Halifax, as Keeper of the Rolls, for his nalive township. He was<br />
an <strong>in</strong>fluential owner and director of the Western Stage Coach, the Cornwallis<br />
Bridge, and the Electric Telegraph Companies. In all these varied services<br />
of public office he was characterized as most genial, manly, and faitiiful. He<br />
enjoyed the public confidence, and was popular and well supported by the<br />
good op<strong>in</strong>ions and votes of those among whom he was called to exercise<br />
authority. His rule was not to dispute with political opponents, and the oppo-<br />
nent of to-day became his warm supporter 1 the _ to-morrow.<br />
As a member of legislative bodies, his discussions of public topics were<br />
able and persu.oivc. While <strong>in</strong> attendance on Legislative Session <strong>in</strong> Halifa.v,<br />
he suffered from <strong>in</strong>flammation of the lungs, and died March 3, 1S58, at the<br />

"Mari.4 Cogswell was the only daughter of Samuel and Mary {Backus)<br />
CogsweU. Her father was a merchant, resid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the town of Lans<strong>in</strong>gburg,<br />
Rensselaer Co., N. Y. While yet an <strong>in</strong>fant, hav<strong>in</strong>g seen scarcely more than a<br />
week of life, a terrible tragedy, the result of what we call accident, but which<br />
was purely a mysterious and <strong>in</strong>scrutable i^rovidence, the un<strong>in</strong>tentional discharge<br />
of a loaded gun. <strong>in</strong> the hand of an <strong>in</strong>timate and valued friend, <strong>in</strong> a moment<br />
bereaved .Maria of a lov<strong>in</strong>g father, and prematurely made her mother a deeply<br />
afflicted widow. <strong>The</strong> suddenness of the blow, under the try<strong>in</strong>g circumstances<br />
<strong>in</strong> which it occurred, almost bereft the young mother of reason. But the force<br />
of a nature of s<strong>in</strong>gular strength and fortitude, and susta<strong>in</strong>ed by the power of<br />
an unquestion<strong>in</strong>g faith <strong>in</strong> the goodness of a covenant-keep<strong>in</strong>g (Jod, carried<br />
her through the try<strong>in</strong>g ordeal. After two years, the hand of the widow was<br />
sought and won by an early lover. Rev. Erenezer Fitch, the first President<br />
of Williams College. He became to Maria a most tender and lov<strong>in</strong>g parent,<br />
supply<strong>in</strong>g as far as it was possible by gentle m<strong>in</strong>istrations and assiduous<br />
culture and <strong>in</strong>structions, the place of her natural father. Under such care<br />
and cultivation, Maria developed not only a s<strong>in</strong>gularly graceful and beautiful<br />
person, but a graceful and vigorous <strong>in</strong>tellect, choos<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>st<strong>in</strong>ctively the most<br />
<strong>in</strong>structive as well as the most elevat<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>spir<strong>in</strong>g authors of the day, and<br />
draw<strong>in</strong>g not from the too often shallow founta<strong>in</strong>s, which dist<strong>in</strong>guish much of
400<br />
the literature of our times, but from the standard English classics, who them-<br />
selves drew from the deeper, purer 'wells of English undefiled." Under such<br />
<strong>in</strong>fluences she grew up to early girlliood, lov<strong>in</strong>g all th<strong>in</strong>gs beautiful and ijright.<br />
and enter<strong>in</strong>g with eager zest upon the somewhat larger life which was opened<br />
to her, when at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she made a visit to her<br />
mother's sister, Mrs. Gen. Joseph Kirkland, of Utica. N. V.. who then and<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g her life formed a bright and attractive feature of the social and reli-<br />
gious circles of Central New York.<br />
" Miss Cogswell was now <strong>in</strong> the first blush and freshness of early woman-<br />
hood. Most attractive <strong>in</strong> person and <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d, she speedily drew around her,<br />
by the fasc<strong>in</strong>ation of her manner and the brilliancy of her wit, a host of ardent,<br />
admir<strong>in</strong>g friends, who were ready to avow- their sentiments of knightly devo-<br />
tion or more sober regard. After reject<strong>in</strong>g many allur<strong>in</strong>g, and <strong>in</strong> a worldly<br />
sense, most advantageous offers of marriage, her young affections at length<br />
centred upon one well worthy of her love, and at the age of twenty she was<br />
afTianced to Major Douglas \V. Sloane, of Williamstown. Mass. He came of<br />
good l<strong>in</strong>eage, be<strong>in</strong>g the only son of Gen. Samuel Sloane of Revolutionary<br />
stock, and the owner of a large and valuable real estate <strong>in</strong> that region and the<br />
neighbor<strong>in</strong>g town. For his son, he built at Williamstown, on a beautiful site,<br />
opposite the college edifices, what for that day, and <strong>in</strong>deed now, is a large<br />
and noble mansion. On its completion Douglas Sloane. with his youthful<br />
bride, took possession of this house. <strong>The</strong>re they spent many happy years <strong>in</strong><br />
easy competence, and all of their eight children were born and reared <strong>in</strong> a<br />
model New England home, under all the desirable and blessed <strong>in</strong>fluences<br />
which such a home imparts. In 1834 they left \A'<strong>in</strong>ianistown, and removed<br />
to Cleveland. Ohio. From the first, Mrs. Sloane took a high positio\i <strong>in</strong> the<br />
social and religious life of that then young city. She entered with character-<br />
istic zeal and enthusiasm <strong>in</strong>to every good work and benevolent e\iterprise.<br />
orig<strong>in</strong>at<strong>in</strong>g the l^Iaternal Association, the effort to rescue and raise the fallen<br />
<strong>in</strong> the Magdalen Association, and co-operat<strong>in</strong>g cheerfully and most helpfully<br />
<strong>in</strong> every organized effort to <strong>in</strong>struct the ignorant, help the poor and depressed,<br />
and elevate the standard of social and religious life. With warm sympathies,<br />
she was s<strong>in</strong>gularly <strong>in</strong>dependent and outspoken <strong>in</strong> her op<strong>in</strong>ions, and unyield<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong> her views of what she esteemed to be right and <strong>in</strong> accord with Christian<br />
duty and pr<strong>in</strong>ciple. Dur<strong>in</strong>g lier residence <strong>in</strong> Cleveland she passed through<br />
deep domestic afflictions. Death <strong>in</strong>vaded the devoted family circle, and four<br />
lovely and gifted daughters and her only son, a noble, promis<strong>in</strong>g young man<br />
of twenty years, were one after the other taken from her. Bereavement and<br />
sorrow culm<strong>in</strong>ated <strong>in</strong> the death of her husband. She bore up under it all.<br />
with the most heroic fortitude, and was ever ready to say.<br />
' <strong>The</strong> Lord gave,<br />
mill the Lonf hath taken away ; blessed be the name of the Lord.' After her hus-<br />
band's death she divided her time between her two rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g daughters. She<br />
died on the 9th of Jan., 1870. <strong>in</strong> the city of New York, at the age of seventy-<br />
eight. She departed after a brief illness, <strong>in</strong> great peace and quietness, after a<br />
life of many vicissitudes, but of em<strong>in</strong>ent usefulness, all life's duties and
40I<br />
responsibilities courageously, nobly, and trustfully met, <strong>in</strong> the assured hope<br />
of a blessed immortality. She lives still even here <strong>in</strong> her many works of<br />
benevolence, piety, and love, and <strong>in</strong> the unfad<strong>in</strong>g memories of her surviv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
children and the friends that knew and loved her."<br />

either was aware of the other's existence. <strong>The</strong>y were the Rev. William Cogs-<br />
well, D. D. [411], already mentioned <strong>in</strong> these pages, and the Rev. William<br />
Cogswell, M. A., who began and f<strong>in</strong>ished his m<strong>in</strong>istry as a C'urate of St. Paul's<br />
Church <strong>in</strong> Halifax, N. S. He with whom we are at present concerned was<br />
born <strong>in</strong> Halifax, <strong>in</strong> 1809, educated <strong>in</strong> tlie Halifax Grammar School, and <strong>in</strong><br />
K<strong>in</strong>g's College, W<strong>in</strong>dsor, N. S. He then travelled <strong>in</strong> Europe, but his affection<br />
for his native Prov<strong>in</strong>ce was <strong>in</strong>creased <strong>in</strong>stead of lessened by all he saw. He<br />
was ever a ready champion for the land of his birth, and at the time when he<br />
lived it was well to have Nova Scotians with courage to assert the merits and<br />
resources of their own country, not always recognized even by those who should<br />
have been most keenly and proudly awake to them. On return<strong>in</strong>g home he<br />
married Eleanor, daughter of the Hon. Andrew Belcher, formerly a member<br />
of the Council of Nova Scotia, and the only male representative of the New<br />
England family of that name dist<strong>in</strong>guished <strong>in</strong> the history of Massachusetts.<br />
Be<strong>in</strong>g appo<strong>in</strong>ted Curate of St. Paul's Church under the venerable Archdeacon<br />
Willis, he soon attracted a large congregation by his evangelical preach<strong>in</strong>g, and<br />
by the affectionate zeal for the spiritual welfare of his flock, which evidently<br />
<strong>in</strong>spired every word of his eloquent discourses. <strong>The</strong>re he cont<strong>in</strong>ued, with<br />
<strong>in</strong>tervals of travel to recruit his health, until his death at the age of thirty-seven<br />
years, after fourteen years of earnest labor <strong>in</strong> the church. <strong>The</strong> present <strong>in</strong>cumbent<br />
of the church <strong>in</strong> which he m<strong>in</strong>istered is the Rev. G. W. Hill, D. C. L., who<br />
has enriched the literature of his country with many valuable contributions.<br />
In a lecture on ' Nova Scotia and Nova Scotians,' published <strong>in</strong> 1858, due<br />
honor is paid <strong>in</strong> graceful words to the memory of the Rev. William Cogswell :<br />
' His piety and talents were known abroad ; his <strong>in</strong>fluence and usefulness<br />
<strong>in</strong> Halifax, his birthplace, are felt to the present hour ; his published sermons<br />
and lectures have been read and reviewed <strong>in</strong> England. Cut off at the early<br />
age of thirty-seven, William Cogswell's memory is embalmed <strong>in</strong> the heart of<br />
many a one converted to God through his faithful preach<strong>in</strong>g of the Gospel.'"<br />

as prejudicial to the <strong>in</strong>terests and the welfare of his native country. To this<br />
propensity for satire by ' cuts ' he yielded so far as to permit its <strong>in</strong>dulgence<br />
even <strong>in</strong> the law courts, and the headquarters of the law makers, the legislative<br />
halls. His embodied, but transformed sarcasm, <strong>in</strong> the shape of clever car-<br />
toons, was not unknown even to the victims, the subjects of his sketches, and<br />
the junior judge or the budd<strong>in</strong>g legislator was each compelled to smile at<br />
the pictured exposure of his own weak po<strong>in</strong>ts, as the multitude has learned<br />
more recently to do at the pictorial squibs of Grip and Puck, which expose the<br />
habit of political self-seek<strong>in</strong>g by all sorts and conditions of men. Mr. Cogs-<br />
well became a lead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>citizen</strong> of his native city, happy <strong>in</strong> his good estate, <strong>in</strong>de-<br />
pendent <strong>in</strong> all the aspects of social life, conscientious <strong>in</strong> his religious pr<strong>in</strong>ci-<br />
ples, generous to the demands of charity, and an active Warden of the Parish<br />
Church. <strong>The</strong> immediate cause of Mr. Cogswell's death was an accident on<br />
board the Cunard steamship Ch<strong>in</strong>a, which occurred May 3, 1867, on his return<br />
voyage from England to Halifax. A heavy sea broke over the ship and threw<br />
him heavily across the deck, with fata! result."<br />

"Dcjiarted this life, Charleston, -S. t"., on the 14th of January, 1S33, after a short but<br />
severe illness, Mr. Harvey Cogswei.1., of the firm of H. Cogswell & Co., .Merchants of this<br />
city, <strong>in</strong> the thirty-fourth year of his age. Seldom has the uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty of life been more<br />
strongly illustrated than <strong>in</strong> the decease of our departed friend. . . . Mr. Cogswell was for<br />
the la.*t eleven years a resident of this city. Of the most active and enterpris<strong>in</strong>g disposition,<br />
early <strong>in</strong>ured to habits of <strong>in</strong>du.stry, few persons <strong>in</strong> our community have acquired or susta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
a higher or fairer reputation for promjitilude, activity, and <strong>in</strong>tegrity <strong>in</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess, or secured at<br />
the same age a stronger or deeper hold on the regard and esteem of his acqua<strong>in</strong>tances. In<br />
all the various relations of life, as a <strong>citizen</strong>, friend, husband, father, he has left beh<strong>in</strong>d him<br />
a character worthy of all praise. May the recollection of his many virtues, and the hope<br />
that his immortal spirit has fled to brighter scenes and more last<strong>in</strong>g joys, soften this stroke of<br />
affliction to his bereaved widow and fatherless children, and the golden l<strong>in</strong>ks of friendship<br />
severed by his death be reunited <strong>in</strong> another and better world."

great deal to th<strong>in</strong>k of and relate <strong>in</strong> regard to traditions and rem<strong>in</strong>iscences of<br />

lives, and where we are now stay<strong>in</strong>g, is the old Cogswell neighborhood and<br />
homestead, purchased by them May 15, 1762. <strong>The</strong> country around here is<br />
very pleasant and lovely, and these Berkshire Hills seem more so to me, as my<br />
ancestry trod the same soil, breathed the same mounta<strong>in</strong> air, saw the same<br />
surround<strong>in</strong>gs. <strong>The</strong> same wild flowers bloomed for them, the same mounta<strong>in</strong><br />

and Polly (Dimmick) Cogswell, was born March 3, 1820, <strong>in</strong> Tolland,<br />
Conn. He married, Dec. 7, r846, Carol<strong>in</strong>e E. Richards, daughter of<br />
Reuel and Laura (Pa<strong>in</strong>e) Richards. She was born Feb. ig, 1822, <strong>in</strong><br />
Providence, R. I. <strong>The</strong>y resided No. 319 Broadway, San Francisco,<br />
Cal. <strong>The</strong>y had no children.<br />
Henry Daniel Cogswell <strong>in</strong> early boyhood was slender <strong>in</strong> for<strong>in</strong>, but of<br />
elastic muscle and active bra<strong>in</strong>. His mother died when be was eight years<br />
old. His father soon after removed to the State of Xew York, leav<strong>in</strong>g him <strong>in</strong><br />
the care of his grandparents. <strong>The</strong>y, however, soon after died, and Henry<br />
Daniel was thrown upon the wide world to look out for himself. He had<br />
not the means sufficient to jo<strong>in</strong> his father <strong>in</strong> the State of New York. But<br />
young as he was, he took <strong>in</strong> the situation, and set about earn<strong>in</strong>g a liv<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
mak<strong>in</strong>g his fortune. He found employment <strong>in</strong> a cotton factory, by his little<br />
earn<strong>in</strong>gs paid his way at school, and with some very friendly assistance, at the<br />
age of eighteen years, he had acquired an education sufficient to teach a common<br />
district school. A few years later he studied dentistry <strong>in</strong> Providence, R. I.<br />
He commenced its practice <strong>in</strong> Pawtucket, and afterward, <strong>in</strong> 1847, opened an<br />
office <strong>in</strong> Providence, R. I. \\hev\ gold was discovered <strong>in</strong> California, Dr. Cogs-<br />
well was among the first to embark for the gold region. He sailed May 9,<br />
1849, tak<strong>in</strong>g along with him quite a little stock of merchandise. Upon his<br />
arrival he sold his goods to advantage, and soon was established <strong>in</strong> the prac-<br />
tice of his profession <strong>in</strong> San Francisco. Mrs. Cogswell jo<strong>in</strong>ed him <strong>in</strong> 1851.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next thirty years devoted to his profession, and somewhat to bus<strong>in</strong>ess,<br />
with its successes and its reverses, placed Dr. Cogswell among the millionnaires<br />
of the Pacific coast. Dr. and Mrs. Cogswell, <strong>in</strong> 187 1, visited Europe, and<br />
spent four years <strong>in</strong> travel <strong>in</strong> foreign lands. After their return Dr. Cogswell<br />
was very busy <strong>in</strong> car<strong>in</strong>g for his property, and <strong>in</strong> distribut<strong>in</strong>g large gifts <strong>in</strong> the<br />
form of endowments for permanent <strong>in</strong>stitutions. He founded the Dental<br />
College, of San Francisco, and conveyed it <strong>in</strong> trust to the Regents of the<br />
State University of California. This gift embraced the entire accumulations<br />
of twelve years of professional service. He established also the Cogswei l<br />
Chair of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy, <strong>in</strong> the State University,<br />
and <strong>The</strong> Cogswell Relief Fund, for the aid of students need<strong>in</strong>g assistance.<br />
Dr. Cogswell, as a matter of public beneficence, and to promote Temperance,
548<br />
caused to be erected at his own expense, <strong>in</strong> many large cities, elaborate and<br />
highly orna<strong>in</strong>ental Public Dr<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g Founta<strong>in</strong>s of bronze and granite. Thirty-<br />
one of these founta<strong>in</strong>s were distributed to different cities and towns <strong>in</strong> the<br />
I'nited States. Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, D. C, San Francisco, Cal., Providence, R. I.,<br />
and Brooklyn, N. Y., were among the large cities to receive this public monument<br />
of bless<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> perpetuum. An engrav<strong>in</strong>g of one of these Silent<br />
Orators of Temperance is <strong>in</strong>serted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Founta<strong>in</strong> erected <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton, I). C, was accepted by jo<strong>in</strong>t resolution<br />
of Congress, July 6, 1882, and erected <strong>in</strong> 1SS4 on the corner of Seventh

Dr. Cogswell, by a donation of $35,000, founded <strong>The</strong> Cogswell Philan-<br />

erected a very costly and impos<strong>in</strong>g Mau.soleum to the worthy dead with<strong>in</strong><br />
the grounds of the Moiiufatii View Cemetery, Oakland, Cal. It was estimated<br />
that at least four hundred tons of cut granite were used <strong>in</strong> its construction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> base covered a large area, the polished shaft rose sixty feet from the base,<br />
its sides were embellished with tablets on which werer ecorded the names of the<br />
HONORED DEAD. On the corners of the pedestal were four colossal statues of<br />

ten thousand square feet, enclosed by polished granite. <strong>The</strong> entire cost of<br />
this California Westm<strong>in</strong>ster Abbey, as estimated, was not less than $60,000.<br />
Dr. Cogswell, whose boyhood was penniless and homeless, at the age of si.xty<br />
years was known for his beneficence across the cont<strong>in</strong>ent, and reckoned among<br />
the millionnaires of <strong>America</strong>. His biographer says : " None of his large for-<br />
tune was accumulated at the expense of others. Frugality, temperance, and<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry were through life his characteristics, and <strong>in</strong>tegrity his religion."<br />

WiLLi.^M Cables Cogswell <strong>in</strong> early life became restive, and longed for<br />
other fields of action than the bleak hills of his native town. Accord<strong>in</strong>gly<br />
he quietly packed his scanty wardrobe <strong>in</strong> a small bundle, and with only one<br />
dollar and seventeen cents <strong>in</strong> his pocket, Jan. 14, 1840, he left home and<br />
bent his steps towards the sett<strong>in</strong>g sun. At the end of three days' journey, he<br />
found himself many miles from home, and his little funds exhausted. He<br />
stopped for lodg<strong>in</strong>g at a farm-house, and <strong>in</strong> the morn<strong>in</strong>g barga<strong>in</strong>ed his services<br />
with the farmer for n<strong>in</strong>e months at n<strong>in</strong>e dollars per month. Hav<strong>in</strong>g<br />
fulfilled this term of service, without a s<strong>in</strong>gle day of lost time, he received his<br />
wages, and with eighty-one dollars <strong>in</strong> his purse felt himself f<strong>in</strong>ancially <strong>in</strong>de-<br />
pendent. He ne.xt turned to good account his common-school education by<br />
teach<strong>in</strong>g; this he pursued for several years. He then entered upon trade.<br />
and for twenty-eight years kept a village store. In 1882 he retired upon a<br />
small farm with a competency.<br />
Mr. Cogswell was a highly respected <strong>citizen</strong>, and called to fill various<br />
public offices. For twenty-two years he was Postmaster. He was chosen<br />
President of the Village Corporation of Wurtsboro'. In 1SS3 he was elected<br />
one of the Supervisors of Sullivan Co., N. Y., and re-elected without an<br />
oppos<strong>in</strong>g vote <strong>in</strong> 1SS4.<br />
