Samuel Cogswell came to Saybrook, unmarried, about 1665, and settled on a farm. The Colonial Records of Connecticut state that he was made freeman, May, 1669. There has been some uncertainty expressed by different writers as to his parentage and whence he came to Saybrook, also as to the person he married. There is little doubt he was born in Ipswich, Mass., and wasthe son of John^ Cogswell [ 4], who died on his return passage from Lon- don in 1653, and that he married, as above given, Susanna Haven, of the town of Lyme, Conn. Lyme was Saybrook until 1667.

Sainucl Cogswell, of Savbrook, Conn., sold, Feb. 9, 1674, five acres of land in Lyme, Conn., to Edward DeWolf, for the sum of £,\2.

Richard Havctt, Mrs. Cogswell's father, was a farmer in Saybrook, Conn., in 1645.

John Wastall, of Saybrook, Conn., deeded, June 13, i6Si, to the children of his loving kinsman, Richard Haven, of Lyme, Conn., 3,000 acres of land in Hebron, Conn., which he had by will of Joshua, Sachem. It is said that John Wastall mentions in his will Wastall Cogs well, a son of Samuel and Susanna Cogswell, as a grandson. This suggests that the wife of Richard Haven mav have been Susanna Wastall (instead of Newhall), a sister perhaps of John Wastall, and so Richard Haven would l:)e his kinsman. .Some have read the name of Samuel Cogswell's wife, which is much blotted on the record, " Hearn," others " Wastall " ; but it was doubtless Susanna Haven.

" Sa7}iicel Cogswell sold 10 acres of salt marsh in Chebacque to Abraham Perkins. 1674." This was land let to his father, John Cogswell, for 1,000 years. The land record shows that the land willed by Joshua, Sachem, was divided into eightv-si.x shares among the proprietors of Hebron, in 1702, the quantity being according to quality. John Wastall owned shares Nos. 44, 66, and 83, about two hundred and sixty-three acres. .Samuel Cogswell owned two shares, Nos. 9 and 84, making one hundred and nine and three fifths acres. The disposal of these lands does not appear on the town records of Hebron ; probably to be found in probate records, now in the Andover District, Tolland Co., Conn.

In 1 7 10 proprietors voted a second division of upland to be made, each proprietor receiv- ing not less than fortv nor more than sixtv acres on each thousand-acre right. Samuel Cogs- well received one hundred and one acres. Wastall Cogswell was dead. The same year, 1710, by a third division, Samuel Cogswell received twelve acres.
