DEATH & BURIAL Elizabeth died on 2 June 1676 in Chebacco, Ipswich, Essex co., MA, aged 77[2,4,5]. She is buried there in the Old North Graveyard of the First Church.
GENERAL NOTE Anderson, et. al., make the following apt observation about Elizabeth: "...We may assume that Elizabeth was younger than average at marriage, given that the estimated age of her youngest child requires 30 years of childbearing...[2]"
MIGRATION She and her family survived the wreck of the Angel Gabriel to become the third founding family in Chebacco [now Ipswich], Essex co., MA. Quite a tale...The full tale of this family can be found in John2 Cogswell's entry.
MARRIAGE On 10 September 1615 Elizabeth married John2 COGSWELL, son of Edward COGSWELL & Alice [surname not known], in Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire, England[4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25].
