NOTABLE FAMILIES AND MEN.
IHE arms of this ancient family
are Argent; a cross between
four escallops sable. The
family does not appear to have had a crest until John Coggeshall, of Fornham, St. Genovese, Suffolk, procured of Robert Cooke, Clarencieux, on the 5th September, 1576, the right to bear "Upon the helme on a wreath argent, a buck couchant sable horned and cleved or., mantled gu., dubled silver " (see Holman's MSS.); a boar's head is given as the crest of the family, in Add. MS., 1746, page 23, and in the Rhode Island Magazine, Vol. V., p. 173, the crest appears as a dexter arm embowed holding a sword.
The arms are decidedly typical of pilgrimage, one of the emblems of which is the escallop shell, and another the cross. Carrying the mind back to the days of Richard I., may we not picture an early knight of this family at the Crusades clad in his coat of mail, bearing on his breast a cross, in the beautiful language of Spencer:
"The dear remembrance of his dying Lord ?Upon his shield the like was also scored."
The following is the pedigree of the early members of this family:
I. Sir Thomas Coggeshall, of Coggeshall, Knight, was living in the reign of King Stephen (1149), and had a son,
2. Sir Thomas Coggeshall, also of Coggeshall, Knight, who was
living, 1188 and 1194. He had issue Sir Ralph (3) and Sir Roger, who was living 28 Henry III.
3. Sir Ralph de Coggeshall, of Codham Hall, Wethersfield, Knt.,
was living 1233, died 1305. By his wife, Elizabeth, he had issue
4. John de Coggeshall, who died, 1296, leaving (in addition to the
son from whom descended the Coggeshalls of Hundon, Fornham, &c., Suffolk),
5. Sir John de Coggeshall, of Coggeshall, Knight, who was living
in 1302, and married Sara, daughter of Jordan le Brun, Knight. Sir John died 1319, leaving
6. Sir John de Coggeshall, Lord of Coggeshall, knighted 1337;
High Sheriff of Essex for several years. Aged 18 in 1320, proved his age, 1322, died 1361 ; married Mary (? Margery), daughter and heiress of Henry (? Humphrey) de Stanton of Essex. She died, 1342. (It is this Sir John's monument that is given in Weever. See Holman's MS.) He had issue Sir Henry and Thomas.
7. Sir Henry Coggeshall, Knight, was 30 years of age in 1361,
died 1375, buried at Coggeshall; married Joane, daughter and heiress of William de Welles of Exning; she died 1375. They had issue Sir William, of whom hereafter, and Thomas of Sandon, who held Newhall, in Boreham, in 1391, and died in 1422, having had issue one son and one daughter, Richard the heir, aged 13 in 1422, and died without issue in 1432, and Elizabeth, the daughter married Thomas Philip.
8. Sir William de Coggeshall, of Codham Hall, Wethersfield,
Knight, was aged 18, in 1375 and died 1424. High Sheriff, 1391, he married Antiochia, daughter and heiress of Sir John Hawkwood, Knight, the celebrated Captain of Condottien, whose residence was at Sible Hedingham, Essex. Her second husband was Sir John Tyrrell, Knight, of East Horndon, Essex. Sir William, by his wife, Antiochia, had issue no sons but four daughters
9. i. Blanch, who married John Doreward, Esq., of Bocking.
ii. Eleanor (? Alice), who married Sir John Tyrell, of Herons,
Knight. iii. Margaret, who married, first, William Bateman, Esq., of
Little Samford, and, secondly, John Roppeley, Esq.
iv. Maud, who married, first, Robert Dacres, Esq., and, secondly, John St. George.
This Sir William Coggeshall held considerable estates in Essex, which for want of male heirs were divided amongst the daughters. He was living at Coggeshall in the 6th year of the reign of King Henry V., as the lease of his Manor of Codham Hall, Wethersfield, is tested at Coggeshall.
The Manor of Coggeshall Hall, as has been noticed (p. 125), was for several generations one of the possessions of this family, and it is probable that it was their principal seat. There were also branches of the family settled at Boreham and Sandon, some of whom were buried at Maldon and others in Boreham Church. Weever preserves the following inscription, which was formerly on a gravestone in the body of All Saints' Church, Maldon :
"Here lies Richard (Henry) Coggeshall, son and heir of Thomas Coggeshall, son of Thomas Coggeshall, Esq. who died 9 Jan. 1427.'
Others were citizens of note in London, and were buried in the Parish Church of St. Margaret, on Fish Street Hill, and in St. Nicholas, Cold Abbey (see Weever's Funeral Monuments). Considerable information relating to the Coggeshalls, chiefly of a genealogical nature, is contained in the Davy MSS., vol. 48, in the British Museum, and some notes may be looked for in the Histories of Essex by Morant and Wright, also as to the later members of the family in 'Suffolk Records.'
From a younger brother of Sir John Coggeshall descended John Coggeshall, of Hundon, in Suffolk, whose posterity lived at Gosfield and then at Fornham Saint Genovese, in Suffolk; of this branch was Henry Coggeshall, a man of great ingenuity. He improved the art of mensuration, and in 1677, published a work, "Timber Measure by a line of more ease and exactness than any other." He also invented a Sliding Rule which was called after his name. He had a son, William Coggeshall, of Diss, in Norfolk, and a stone in Diss Church records that this William was born at Stratford, Suffolk, and died, Aug. 9th, 1714, aged 48, and that he, by Elizabeth his wife, had a son, John, who died, April I3th, 1706, aged 6.
In Framlingham Church, level with the floor of the aisle, at the head of Sir Robert Hitcham's tomb, there was, when Green wrote his 'History of Framlingham] in 1834, a range of three marble slabs to the memory of John Coggeshall, two of his wives and a daughter. Above the inscription on his slab were Quarterly Coggeshall i and 4, a cross between 4 escallops; Dover, 2, ermine, a cinquefoil; Sheppard, 3, a fess between 3 talbots passant, in their mouths a bird bolt, impaling Cotton, a chevron between 3 cotton hanks. Helmet, mantle, crest,a stag couchant.
"Here lieth the body of John Coggeshall, Gent., who died 13th of Novem., 1752, aged 86 years. Also the body of Mary his second wife, who died 2ist October, 1729, aged 41 years."
In a lozenge, the arms of Coggeshall as before, with helmet, mantle, and crest as above.
"Here is interred the body of Mary, the daughter of John Coggeshall, Gent., by Mary his wife, who departed this life the ist. of August, Anno. Dom., 1726, aetat 17."
On the third stone?
"Here lieth the body of Elizabeth, the third wife of John Coggeshall, Gent., who died 29th of October, 1741, aged 48 years."
John Coggeshall, Gent., in 1742, gave to the Church of Framlingham, a large silver flagon, weighing about 53 ounces, also a brass branch for 20 lights.
The following notes are from the Herald's College, "John Coggeshall, of Gosfield, in Essex, Gent., married and had issue: Roger, sone and heire; Richard, 2; John, 3; William, 4 ;Roger Cogshall, of Fornham St. Martin, in Suffolk, married Elizabeth, ye daughter of Smith, of Boxley, in Essex, and had issue : John, sone and heire.
"John, sone and heire of John, married to his first wife, Elizabeth, ye daughter of George Bacon, of Hesset, in Suffolk, and had issue:Edmond ye first who died yonge, 2nd after he married to his 2nd wife, Ann, ye daughter of John Bene (? Reeve) of Thwaite in Suffolk, and by her had issue: Elizabeth, married to John Bacon, ye younger, of Hesset.
"George, ye sone and heire of John, married Ann, ye daughter of Edmond Orange, of Berry St. Edmonds, and as yet hath no issue. Died without issue, 1615."
From another pedigree in the same College we learn that a Roger Coggeshall, of Fordham, Suffolk, had a son, John, who resided at Orford, Suffolk, and married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Beversham, of Orford. They had issue :Thomas (4th son), who married Sarah, daughter of Edward Scott, of Glemsford, Suffolk; Henry, of Benham (PBenhall), Suffolk (2nd son), 1664, married Ellinor, daughter of John Geoffrey, alias Spooner, of Tanington; James, of Carson, married Barbara, daughter of Anthony Yorke, and John of Melton, Suffolk, Gent., 1664, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Philip Boone, of Saxted, Suffolk. Henry and Ellinor Coggeshall had issue John, sone and heire, aged about 9, anno 1664, Henry, Thomas and Mary.
There is among the Harl. MS.S. (1136, p. 62), this pedigree: "John Coggeshall of Hundon, Co. Suffolk, had issue John Coggeshall, of Gosfield, Co. Essex, who had issue : Richard, John, William and Robert (? Roger) of Fornham St. Martyn, Co. Suffolk, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Smith, of Burley. They had a son, John, who married Anne, daughter of John Reeve, of Suffolk, and Elizabeth, daughter of George Bacon, of Hesset. By his marriage with Elizabeth he had a son, Edmond."

A search of the Register of Baptisms, Marriages and Burials from their commencement down to the present time has been made, but no other entries than the above have been found.
There is only one entry under this name in the Gosfield Registers, and that is of the marriage of Alice Coggeshall with Robert Wilton, in 1548. This information was kindly furnished by the Rev. Elliot, Vicar of Gosfield, who also wrote that the arms of Coggeshall are found quartered with those of Baker Cotton, Gent, Greene, Ingowe, Strangman, Thursby, Tyrell and Went worth.
At St. Andrew's, Halstead, there is a mural brass to "Elizabeth, the wife of John Watson, the daughter of John Coggeshall, Gent., who was buried, February the 23rd, Anno Dmi. 1604." There is the figure of a lady kneeling at a desk facing, to the left
in front of the desk two boys, and behind her three girls all facing as the mother; and, in the foreground, under the daughters a chrysom child, but there are no armorials.
(Bunion of
N the 9th September, 1884, some 400 or more descendants of one, John Coggeshall, assembled at Newport, Rhode Island, America, to hear the address of the Hon. Henry T. Coggeshall, of Waterville, New York, upon their family history. This John Coggeshall appears to have been born in England about 1591, having died on 27th November, 1647, aged 56 years, at Newport, Rhode Island. He was a puritan and was among those who, seeking to escape the persecution of the times, sailed from their native country in the ship "Lyon," on the 23rd June, 1632, arriving at Boston on Sunday, the 16th September following.
His business is believed to have been that of a silk merchant, and it is probable that he was born in Essex or Suffolk, and although his father's name is not known we know that his mother's name was Ann, and that when she made her will, on i6th April, 1645, she was residing at Castle Hedingham. By her will, she gives to her son, John Coggeshall "now," as she says, "dwelling in New England, my house and lands at Sible Hedingham, together with the legacy given him by his uncle, John Batter, with remainder in event of John's not claiming them to Henry Raymond, my grandchild, son of Richard Raymond, deceased. She also gives certain parts of her property to John, Anne, Mary, Joshua, and James Coggeshall, children of her son John. Her will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 171 Essex, on 16th April, 1645. The emigrant wife's name was Mary, and when they left England they took with them their three children, John, born about 1618, Joshua, born 1623, and Ann, born 1625; and from the records of the First Church, Boston, Massachusets, it appears that they subsequently had daughters, Hananiel, baptised 3rd May, 1635, and Wait, baptised n Sept. 1636, and a son, Bedaiah, baptised 3oth July, 1637.
Shortly after his arrival at Boston, John Coggeshall was made a freeman of the colony, and was about the same time elected a member of the church in Roxbury. He afterwards settled at Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where, after starting a settlement, he with others removed to the southern part of the island of Aquid
neck, where the town of Newport now stands. When the four towns of Newport, Portsmouth, Providence and Warwick were united, John Coggeshall was elected to the honourable position of first President. He died on z7th November, 1647, aged 56, and was buried on his own land in Newport, where his descendants have erected a monument to his memory, and enclosed the little family burial ground with a neat and substantial stone wall; it is situate in Coggeshall Avenue, near Victoria Avenue. His son, John, who was, as we have seen, born in England, was a Major of the Militia in the new country.
For further information as to John Coggeshall, the emigrant, and his descendants, the reader is referred to the Rhode Island Magazine for October, 1884, which contains, in addition to the address of the Hon. H. T. Coggeshall, occupying 28 pages, a contribution towards a genealogy of the family extending over 17 pages, the greater part of which is fraught with interesting narrative or detail.
The address of the President of the Re-union concluded in this appropriate strain: "Thus have we reviewed the Coggeshalls of the past. Their high aspirations and proud achievements illumine with credit the page of your family history. That the Coggeshalls of to-day deserve honorable mention it is needless here to say. * * * * Of the Coggeshalls yet to come, could the future be unfolded, we should seewhether distinguished by science or art, literature or politicsa long line of deserving men and women, law, abiding, liberty loving, trusting in man, brave in war, sincere in friendship, fond of home and its associations, for these are characteristics which do not die."
The name of Coggeshall as a personal name is almost extinct in England, but there are Coxalls in Essex and elsewhere, and the persons with this corrupted patronymic are doubtless derivatives from the former possessors of Coggeshall Hall.
