Biography

A genealogical and heraldic history of the extinct and dormant baronetcies of England by J. and j.B.Burke One of four daughters Mary was the comfort of her father John Cosin’s old age, with sisters Elizabeth (who married four times), Frances and Anne. Her one surviving brother, John, defected to Rome and was ordained as a Roman priest on the 24th February 1657 which his father never got over.

On 19th June 1660, John Cosin arrived in Cambridge after the death of Cromwell as his the long exile (he had been tending the religious needs of the Protestant royal family) was over. His daughters in England must have been impoverished as the Lord Protector granted twenty shillings a week from 20th October 1657 for Mary’s upkeep and the support of her sisters.

co-heir of Dr.John Cosins, Bishop of Durham
