The Cogswells in America - citizen hylbom blog

struck off the time for John and Elizabeth Cogswell two centuries and a half
ago. Not long since, Mrs. Aaron Cogswell, of Ipswich, had in her possession,
it is said, the famous coat of arms which has been widely copied in the family.
This is described as " wrought most exquisitely with silk on heavy satin." A
few years ago, a stranger borrowed the curious relic of this too obliging lady,
and, like tlie jewels of the Egj'ptians, borrowed by the Israelites, it was never
returned. As a matter of family interest, although purely traditional and
not found anywhere recorded, a facsimile of this Cogswell escutcheon is here
mser ted.
