Hi,
Sorry it has taken me ages to respond. But I have looked into your questions about the COSS connection. I cannot find any link between the two. There is no records of any of my branch of COSS coming to the USA. But the records are very spotty at best when I get to the english/british end of things.
My only firm connection is William Coss who went (deported as a convict) to Australia.
It is also reported that he was of dark skin, with black hair and eyes. It was rumoured in my family that he was black or half black. And had an occupation in England as a coachman.
Hi Debra,
Mine are also from Luxulyan....I'll have to dig out my documents, but I think it was William Sturtridge Grose and his wife that came to Canada in the early 1800's. I'll get back to you with more info- it's quite possible that we do have a connection somewhere

Hi There:
I was able to find it on Amazon, what a wonderful place that is, don't you think? Here it is 8:00 and I still haven't had dinner yet. It been a busy day today. Well, can't wait to get the book. Let me know what you will start next,
Luv,
Bev
There is a lot to learn. You watch, I will probably run into my sisters. Ha Ha
As soon as I get a minute I will go through this more thoroughly
Luv,

Hi Debra:
I signed on to this last night and was amazed at all the stuff. It is going to take me a month to go thru all this. Truly, looks like fun.
Love,
Bev
I've only been able to trace back to Philetus Pollock, born 1826 in CT, fought in the Civil War. I've been unable to find any siblings or parents. Very early in my research, I found something somewhere that said his father was William Pollock - but being new, I didn't document where I found it and have never been able to find it again! Philetus' wife was Susan Brewster, also born in CT.
Could you e-mail me your e-mail address so I can send you those obits? I have the address but I'm not sure if it's still the one you use and I don't want to put it on the public site.
Thanks.
I've also written for the death certificates of Bryant Gilbert Mathis, Mary Eliza Shiver and Troy W. Mathis. I'll let you know if I get them.

I'm excited to have a new site to peruse. I wish I was as adept as you with all this genealogy research. Once I get stuck I tend to lose interest. We are having a good HOT summer...hope you are doing well.
Hi, Debra, Peacock is my married name & I don't know much about the ancestry. My father-in-law was from Knaresborough area & one of his ancestors was (supposedly) the last man in Yorkshire to have been hung for sheep stealing!
