    1. Re: Stiles, Tozer, Cossaboon, Chard
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg//wQB.2ACE/1137.1.1.2 Message Board Post: I've been watching the posts under this title because, although I have yet to unearth a Stiles or Chard, there were two Cossaboons who married Langley men. I also continue to sift through the many Tozer/ Tozour/ Touzer/ Towser. These include my GG-GM Rebecca 1825-1911 (dau of Wm. Tozer 1804-88 and Hannah Dickinson Tozer, 1805-after 1888). This Rebecca md. Silas Franklin Langley 1825-89. A later Rebecca, who spelled her name Tozour, was b. in 1873 to John Tozour and Amanda Whilden, and she md. George C. Langley (b. 1863). Geo. was son of the 1809-79 William Langley of Ewings Neck/ Delmont and Sarah Christian (not Wm.'s first wf Jemima or "Jermina" Robinson, as Roy Hand apparently wrote). Rebecca, her husband and her parents are buried on 2 sides of a good-size stone at Heislerville (I think!) if someone wants to check. For Cossaboon, I'll need to be rough with dates. The late Joseph Langley and wf Esther Cossaboon would be about my parents' ages, so were probably b. 1920-25 range. Joseph was son of Eugene of Malaga, and grandson of John Tozer Langley 1853-1945 of Dennis Twp. John T. was the oldest son of my Silas F., and probably named after Rebecca's bro John. S.F.'s younger son was Richard T. (probably Tozer) Langley, aka "Dick." (1862-1943) of Willow Grove and Vineland. Dick was a master carpenter, and with his first wf Mary Elzabeth "Lizzie" Thompson (1869-1905) he had one son, Richard Garrison "Gary" Langley, b. 1891 (?) who later md. Adna Cossaboon. Gary apparently sold cars, and had a deformed or missing arm (stories vary!). SSDI has Richard LANGLEY - Oct 1901 - Jun 1983 and has Adna Langley as 1903-83. Since both died in the tiny town of Fortescue South of Millville about a month apart, I'm sure this is them, even though somewhere else I found 1891 for RGL's birth year. I have not found that they had any children, but Joseph certainly did (if you're out there, pls straighten us out about the Cossaboons). It appears that Cossaboon was a later spelling of Cossaboom. Some of each are buried at Mt. Pleasant. In the 1950s and 60s near Wood School in Mvl lived a Joseph Cossaboon probably b. 1920 or a bit before.
