tory. She anticipated the issue of The Cogswells in America with great
pleasure. She was in Richmond, Mass., only a few days, before her death, and
in a letter to a friend she wrote as follows :
" My nephew has got a great craze about the Generdogy of the t'ogswell
Family, and as I am the last one living of my father's- family, I have had a
great deal to think of and relate in regard to traditions and reminiscences of
old times. It is a notable fact that where my nephew, W. L. Nichols, now
lives, and where we are now staying, is the old Cogswell neighborhood and
homestead, purchased by them May 15, 1762. The country around here is
very pleasant and lovely, and these Berkshire Hills seem more so to me, as my
ancestry trod the same soil, breathed the same mountain air, saw the same
surroundings. The same wild flowers bloomed for them, the same mountain
springs bubbled forth their volumes of lively water for my ancestry, one hun-
dred and twenty-one years ago."
