Biography

BIOGRAPHY:

In 1882, Maggie was living with her daughter in Osage Mission, Kansas.

Maggie is the daughter of Benjamin B. Cogswell adn Sarah E. Jackson. The Cogswell family is well documented in the book, Descendants of John Cogswell, The Cogswell Family: 1635-1996. Donald James Cogswell.

John Cogswell, with his wife, Elizabeth and eight children embarked 23 May 1635 at Bristol, England aboard the ship, Angel Gabriel for New England. Mr. Cogswell had with him his three sons, William, John and Edward, and five of his six daughters. One daughter was left in England, who afterward married and resided in London. Mr. Cogswell took with him several farm and household servants, an amount of valuable furniture, farming implements, housekeeping utensils, and a considerable sum of money. They were detained many days after going on board the Angel Gabriel for lack of wind, so that not until 4 June did they actually set sail from Bristol. On the same day another vessel, The James, sailed, having on board emigrants for America, among whom was Rev. Richard Mather.

Both ships touched at Milford Haven, Pembroke County, South Wales, and 22 Jun, they put to sea again and proceeded on their way. The vessels kept company for about two weeks, when they became separated, but arrived about the same time on the coast of New England. The James lay at anchor off the Isles of Shoals, and the Angel Gabriel off Pemaquid, Maine, where the great storm and gale of 15 August struck them. The James was torn from her anchors, and obliged to put to sea, but after two days of terrible battling with the storm and wave, she reached Boston Harbor on 17 August with "her sails rent in sunder, and split in pieces, as if they had been rotten ragges."

The Angel Gabriel's fared still worse. "The storm was frightful at Pemaquid, the wind blowing from the northeast, the tide rising to a very unusual height, in some places more than twenty feet right up and down; this was succeeded by another and unaccountable tidal wave still higher." The Angel Gabriel became a total wreck, passengers, cattle, and goods were all cast upon the angry waves. Among those who reached the shore with their lives were Mr. Cogswell and his family.
