I have been working on family research for some time and have been stuck for some time at James cosby and Mary thurman who was married. Recently I have came accross more than one family tree that has the father of My James cosby as Preston Cosby B Abt 1770 Mother is Anne Nancy Booker Prestons Father is Peter Cosby/Mother Ann Eggleston Peters Father is James Cosby/Mother Sarah Nelson James father is John Cosby B1680 Mother Martha Garland Johns Father is John Cosby B1623 Mother Sarah John's Father is Charles Cosby B sept12 1585 Anyone who would have a verifier or proof that Preston Cosby is indeed James Father I would be delighted to hear from you. I feel this is correct but would like to have Proof. Thanks Bill Cosby By the way our family is in North Missouri.
