Mr. Cogswell was a mariner. He was out as a privateersman during the
whole period of the Revolution. On one occasion, being taken a prisoner,
and being displeased with the treatment he received from the enemy, he jumped
overboard and swam some three miles to gain an American vessel in sight.
He was picked up in an exhausted condition and brought safely home. When
the war was over he still followed the seas for some years as a captain of a
merchant vissel. Near the close of his life he settled upon a farm in Dover,
N. H , where he spent the remainder of his days.
