bulletJohn COGSWELL was born in 1592 in Westbury, Leigh, Wilts, England. He died on 29 Nov 1669 in Ipswich, Essex, MA.. At age 23, he succeeded to his fathers' business and settled down in the old homestead.
His parents died soon after his marriage, and he received his inheritance, "The Mylls called Ripond, situate within the Parish of Frome Selwood," together with the home place and certain personal property. Like his father, he was a manufacturer of wollen fabrics, largely broadcloths and kerseymeres. The superior quality of these manufacturers gave his "mylls" a favorable reputation, which appears to have been retained to the present day. There are factories occupying much the same locations and still owned by the Cogswells, which continue to put on the market wollen cloths that in Vienna and elsewhere
have commanded the first premium in the world exhibitions of our times (1880s?).

John Cogswell doubtless found, in London, a market for his manufactures. He may
have had a commission house in that city, which would account for his being called, as he sometimes has been, a London merchant. Parents: Edward COGSWELL and Alice.

He was married to Elizabeth THOMPSON on 10 Sep 1615 in Westbury, Leigh, Wilts, England. About twenty years after their marriage, with a family of nine children about them, and having the accumulations of a prosperous business, Mr. and Mrs. Cogswell determined to emigrate to America. The particular reasons which led them to leave England may have been much the same that influenced others in their times. It appears that early in 1635,
Mr. Cogswell made sale of his "mylls" and other real estate, and soon after, with his wife,
eight children, and all their personal effects, embarked at Bristol, May 23, 1635, for New England.

Their passage was long and disastrous. Their arrival in America was after a most unexpected
fashion. Having reached the shores of New England, they were landed unceremoniously at a place called Pemaquid, in Maine, being washed ashore from the broken decks of their ship "Angel Gabriel " which went to pieces in the frightful gale of August 15, 1635, when such a "sudden dismal storm of wind and rain came as had never been known before by white man or Indian." Traces of this storm remained for years.

John Cogswell and his wife Elizabeth settled at Ipswich, and had lands granted him there
as appears from the records; under the date of 1635, is this entry:

"Granted to Mr. John Cogswell three hundred acres of land at the further Chebacco, Having
the river on the southeast, the land of Will White on ye Northwest & a Creek Coming out of
the river towards Will Whites farme on the Northeast. Bounded also on the west with a creek
& a little brooke. Also there was granted to him a percell of ground containing eight acres,
upon part whereof the said John Coggswell hath Built an house, it being in ye corner lott in
Bridge Streete and has goodman Bradstreet houselott on ye s.e. The was also granted to him six acres of Ground late mr. John Spencers. Butting upon the river on the southeast having a lott of Edmund Gardners' on the Northeast & a lott of Edmund Saywords on the Southwest wch six acres of ground teh sd John Coggswell hath sold to John Perkins teh younger his heirs and assigns."

The fact that he was designated "Mr." at that date, and the considerable amount of land granted him indicate that he was a man of good social standing in society. The records of about that date further show that Cornelius Waldo was Mr. Coggswell's farmer.

The Cogswells were also involved in an attempt to prevent the execution of Goodwife Proctor in the Salem witch trials. According to Ipswich In The Massachusetts Bay Colony, 290-291, by Thomas Franklin Waters, The Ipswich Historical Society, 1905: "Five members of the Cogswell family were among the twenty prominent people who signed the petition drawn up by the Rev. John Wise on behalf of Goodwife Proctor, who stood accused of witchcraft. Mary Warren alleged that she had been threatened and abused by Goodwife proctor, and that she had seen apparitions of people who had long since been murdered by the wife of John Proctor. This evidence prevailed and the good woman was sentenced to death." Children were: COGSWELL, Mary COGSWELL , William COGSWELL, John COGSWELL, Phyllis COGSWELL, Hannah COGSWELL, Abigail COGSWELL, Edward COGSWELL, Alice COGSWELL, Ruth COGSWELL, Sarah COGSWELL, Elizabeth COGSWELL.
