Children of the Cogswell-Thompson Marriage

All children except Sarah were born and baptized in Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire, England. Elizabeth Cogswell was baptized on 15 September 1616. She married Nathaniel Masterson on 31 July 1657. Elizabeth died on 24 January 1692 as a victim of King William's War Candlemas Massacre in York, York, Maine. Mary Cogswell was baptized on 24 July 1618.

She is the mysterious unnamed daughter who stayed behind. She married John Broadhurst on 23 January 1645 in Chirton, Wiltshire, England. Hannah Cogswell was baptized on 6 April 1626. She married before 2 January 1652 to Deacon Cornelius Waldo. Hannah died on 25 December 1704 in Charlestown, Suffolk, Massachusetts. Esther Cogswell was baptized on 2 May 1628 in Westbury Leigh. She died on 7 June 1655 in Boston, Massachusetts at the home of brother-in-law Godfrey Armitage. Edward Cogswell was baptized on 16 April 1630. No other information at this time except that he was not mentioned in his father's will. Alice Cogswell was baptized on 24 September 1631. No further record. (Not included with Jameson) Ruth Cogswell was baptized on 28 November 1633. No further record. (Not included with Jameson) Abigail Cogswell was born before 1635. She married Thomas Clark by 1666.

The Public Record Office in London has a conveyance deed for the sale of their Westbury Leigh property in 1635 to Anthony Selfe and Henry Allyn.[4]

John and Elizabeth and 8 of their living children, William, John, Jr. and Edward and 5 daughters (Elizabeth, Mary, Hannah, Esther, Abigail; leaving behind the one daughter, who is now known as Phyllis) sailed on the Angel Gabriel which was commanded by Capt. Andrews. It was the ship built for Sir Walter Raleigh and he probably made his last voyage on her to Guiana, South America in 1618 before he was executed. They boarded the ship on 23 May 1635 at Bristol, England, but sailed on 4 June because it was becalmed. The family came with a huge fortune of goods. They landed finally on 15 August 1635[5][6] under the worst possible circumstances as a terrible storm wrecked the ship. On the same day that the Angel Gabriel sailed the James sailed with more emigrants fleeing religious intolerance. Among those passengers was the Rev. Richard Mather. He kept a journal which is partially available on line telling of the journey for both ships. The passengers on the Angel Gabriel including Elizabeth and John lost a lot of valuable property and some lost their lives.[7] After they made it ashore at a place called Pemaquid in Maine, John left his family there with the tent he had brought along and went to Boston, Massachusetts. He arranged to have his wife, three sons and five daughters transported by boat on about the last of August to Ipswich, Massachusetts.

Elizabeth and John and their children were among the first settlers in the area. Her husband was granted 300 acres in Chebacco Parish plus several smaller properties and they set up house in a log cabin he built in 1636. As soon as he could, he built a frame house. As they grew older, the couple deeded lands that they held to their children who then made farms all around their own home.

Death and Burial

Elizabeth died on 2 June 1676 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. She is buried next to her husband in an unmarked grave in the Old North Graveyard in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Find A Grave: Memorial #23966643
