John COGSWELL, 3rd

FULL ACCOUNT:
"William Cogswell and his father, John Cogswell, were 'Executors of Estate of John Cogswell, deceased. Inventory £341 10s. 0d, with the desperate debts as a lease of 1000 years being part. Gave £200 bonds. In 1664 they brought in account to the court in Ipswich to the full of the estate and were discharged by the court.'..."^[99]

"In the year 1675 William Cogswell was sued by John Cogswell, his nephew, son and heir of John Cogswell, deceased, for an account of the estate of his late father probated. His uncle, William Cogswell, had been discharged by the court in 1664, and did not propose to give an account. On reference to the clerk of the court the original account could not be found, so that said William Cogswell was in a strait. The court would not give further time, and passed judgement of £54 18s. 0d. to the plaintiff, i.e. John3 Cogswell, with costs. William Cogswell appealed to the next court, which confirmed the sentence, and bound the defendant to the sum of £300 to give a just and full account. The account was delivered to John, who claimed that it was false. It was therefore rjected, and suit against William was entered at Salem, Jan., 1676, which brought in judgement of £300 against the defendant; from which, appeal was made to the court in Boston. This court reveresed the judgment, Sept., 1676, and brought costs of court, £13 4s. against John Cogswell. John did not pay these charges, but in Oct. 1676, delevered his person to the marshal; and in the same October petitioned the General Court, pleasing his sad condition and inability, and asked another hearing. The curt ordered him to liberty, and granted him a hearing, to which William was summoned. The whole case was heard over again, May 29, 1677. The conclusion was that the plaintiff had to pay the judgement rendered £13 4s..."^[100]
