  • Name Joshua COGGESHALL  [1, 2] 
    • He came to this country with his father in the ship "Lyon" on September 16, 1632, died Portsmouth, R.I., of Measels, on May 1, 1688, and was buried on his own grounds at Portsmouth, R.I.; married (1) at the house of his brother-in-law, Peter Easton, in Newport, R.I.; onDecember 22, 1652, JOAN WEST, daughter of Matthew West, of Newport, R.I. She died Portsmouth, R.I., April 24, 1676, aged 45 years. he married (2) in his own house at Portsmouth, R.I., June 21, 1676, REBECCA RUSSELL, a Quakeress from Hawkshead, Lancashire, England. She afterwards moved to Lewes, Del., with her tow children, and married Thomas Harford, of Lewes, Del. He held several minor offices, but devoted most of his time to farming. After his father's death, he purchased a farm of about two hundred acres near the boundary of Newport and Portsmouth, and at the time of his death it had been increased to about three hundred sixty acres. He made his home but a few rods from the shore - not far from the Cornell farm at the north. The cellar and well of the house can still be seen. he left the farm to three of his sons in equal share. Daniel was given the homestead portion, and later on built a house near the road. This house is still standing. The farm is known as the Redwood Farm, deriving the name from Abraham Redwood who purchased it of the Coggeshall heirs. He was the founder of the Redwood Library of Newport. A lane leads from the road, and at the south of it, not far from the old house, was the family cemetery where it is supposed Joshua and his family were buried. the next farm south was given to his sonJohn, whose house was built near the road. This house is also standing and these two farms of Daniel and john are now owned by Mr.Bradford Norman. The headstones of the graves of John and his wife Mary are still standing, only a short distance west of the house.

      Joshua's farm was at the south. His house was only a short distance from John's, a brook dividing them. It was the custom in those days to locate the home near a spring or book. This farm is still in the family of Mr. William Coggeshall, having passed from generation to generation by will or deed. The old farm house was standing till within a few years, when it was destroyed by fire. [1]
