Prominent Cogswells
in History For the past 391 years the Cogswell family has been contributing its sons and daughters to the cultural, religious, and political "experiments" in North America. For a time, the world wondered whether or not the displaced sons of England could survive and prosper in the new world, especially after the nurture and protection of the English Monarch was rejected by the disgruntled Americans. Now, from our modern perspective, we can only try and understand and appreciate the sacrifices made, the hardships endured, and the personal pride and satisfaction resulting from a job well-done by our Cogswell ancestors. Members of the Cogswell family have been especially well represented by honorable military service, and in the fields of medicine and teaching. But, these "highlights" are not meant to ignore the contributions of the Cogswell farmers, mechanics, teamsters, public servants, and craftsmen (and women) who built the edifice we inherited - North America. Periodically, this page will introduce you to one of those Cogswell sons or daughters who made a distinguished contribution to our lives in the U.S. and Canada. The Association would very much appreciate receiving any additional information (preferably documented) concerning any Cogswell - anywhere. Now, may we introduce (from the 1996 edition of "The Descendants of John Cogswell"): |
