Notes:



John H. Cogill b ca 1818, NY (NJ?), d 25 Jan 1895, age 77, m(1) Margaret Mulford, b ca 1818, Cumberland Co., NJ, d 18 Sep 1860, age 41y 10m, dau of John and Maria Mulford; m(2) 23 Feb 1862, Salem Co., as her 2nd husband, Charlotte J. (Morrison) Fegenbush, b 24 Sep 1828, NJ, d 5 Feb 1895 (bur Salem Baptist Cem.), age 67, dau of George and Rebecca Morrison. John's marriage record to Charlotte lists his father as Thomas, mother as Elizabeth. Could this be the Thomas Cogill b ca 1780, d 9 Sep 1855, age 75, in Burlington Co., NJ? Census records and a NJ history show his birthplace as Long Island, NY, but son Franklin's pension application says Salem Co., NJ. On the 1880 census John claimed his father's birthplace as Scotland. Children Franklin, Lilly, and Elizabeth were parties to a guardian petition in the Sep 1862 term of the Salem Co. Orphans Court. John was described as a carriage builder. He served on the Salem City police force, and was City of Salem Surveyor of Highways 1854-1856. He also served a term in the NJ legislature as a Democrat.
