Some of you all must share with me a common Cosby ancestor, John Cosby 1741-1827, whose father was David Cosby 1705-1770 and whose son was Overton Cosby 1772-1815. John married a Sarah or Susannah Wingfield, and I have a copy of an old Cosby History manuscript that says she was his cousin. Now, next thing is that Weis in his "Ancestral Roots" mentions Wingfields twice. First, a Sir Robert Wingfield married Elizabeth Goushill (b. 1401/1414)and had a daughter Elizabeth Wingfield who married before 1462 a Sir William Brandon. Second, a Michael de la Pole (d. 1389), first Earl of Suffolk, had a wife named Katherine Wingfield, who was daughter and heiress of a Sir John Wingfield, also of Suffolk. Katherine has dates of about 1415-1488. My question is does anybody have any connecting links for the Wingfields between the 1400s and the 1700s? This is a long time, but maybe somebody has something.
