I've "rescued" an old diary belonging to Frank GOSS of Henniker, New Hampshire. The diary is dated 1892 and includes entries of almost every day along with accounting records in the back for recording the sale of hogs and other farm purchases and sales. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Frank and his family: Franklin T. GOSS was b. 20 Oct 1830 in Henniker, NH. Franklin married 1st Ellen Marie COGSWELL (b. 28 Apr 1837 in Henniker, NH) and with Ellen had a son, George C. GOSS b. 3 Aug 1863 in Henniker, NH. Franklin's second marriage was to Lucy H. CAMPBELL (b. 21 May 1841 in Henniker, NH) in about 1867 and with Lucy he had another son, William C. GOSS b. 17 Aug 1868 in Henniker, NH. Franklin died in Henniker, NH on 20 Jul 1918. Records also indicate that Frank was married at some point to Sarah W. CONNER.
