Fellow WNY listers, I am researching the descendants of Thomas C COGWELL of Alexander and Attica, NY. Descendants lived in Genesee, Wyoming and Erie Counties. Below is the information I have so far developed. Please let me know if you can provide additional information on these COGSWELL descendants, or their descendants. The surnames listed below include: COGSWELL, ADAMS, DYER, CHURCHILL, SPINK, PATTERSON, DREW, GIFFORD, RORTY, MORMAN, BARNARD, SCOVILLE, ROBERTS, BRAMER, BLAKELY, HOGLES, CLARK. Thank you in advance for your help. Roger Bohn, Batavia, NY Descendants of Thomas C. Cogswell Generation No. 1 1. THOMAS C.
