For those familiar with Lewys Dwnn's 1613 visitation pedigree of the Pengruffwnd family, this was written Koskol. >From GENUKI there is this information: "COXALL, a township in the parish of Bucknell, hundred of Wigmore, in the county of Hereford, 7 miles N.E. of Presteign. It is situated on the river Teme. It was here that Caractacus made his last stand against the Roman general Ostorius, who occupied Bravinium, or Brandon." "BUCKNELL, (or Bucknill), a parish in the Stow division of the hundred of Purslow, in the county of Salop [Shropshire], but extending also into the hundred of Wigmore, in the county of Hereford, 3 miles to the N.E. of Knighton, in Radnorshire, its post town." Richard Pengriffin, wife Agnes (Powers) and sons Henry/Harry, Richard and Thomas, were living in Walton West, Pembrokeshire, Wales with their father because Richard was the Parson at All Saints Church until 1619. This family is neither related to the Edward Griffin who died in Flushing, New York after 1698, nor the John Griffin who died in Simsbury (Windsor) Connecticut in 1681.
