♀Mary Coggeshall

Died 1684, Newport, Newport, Rhode Island, British Colonial America.

Mary Coggeshall (died 8 November 1684) was the wife of John Coggeshall, the first president of the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. She was the eighth great-grandmother of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), through her son Joshua Coggeshall (1632–1689).

Life

Her maiden name is not known. She first appears in 1632, when “Mary Coggshall, the wife of John Coggshall” was admitted to the church at Roxbury with a group of that year’s immigrants; two years later she and her husband were received into the Boston church. The couple had at least eight children, three of them baptized at Castle Hedingham in Essex before the family sailed and three at Boston after it.

She followed her husband to Portsmouth and Newport on Aquidneck Island. She was widowed in November 1647, six months after he became president of the colony, and lived on at Newport for almost forty years.

Notes

Her death at Newport on 8 November 1684 comes from later compilations; the historian Robert Charles Anderson notes that it has not been found in a contemporary record.
