    Notes:

    Name:
    The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record:

    Archibald was a Methodist Episcopal preacher and worked as a cooper. He moved from Connecticut in 1811 to a farm in the Town of Glenville, Schenectady County, New York. Archibald was listed on the 1820 census of that town with four males under age 10. He moved, with his wife, two daughters, and one son, to Groveland Township, Oakland Co., Michigan, in 1840, where he joined sons Bela and Henry, who had moved there in 1836 and 1839, respectively. Archibald and Abigail were listed on the 1850 census of Groveland Township with two apparent daughters, Betsy, age 23, and Abigal, age 13, both born in New York. Abigail was listed in the 1860 census in the household of Betsey Bird, age 33, in Groveland Township, and in 1870 she was in the household of Bela Cogshall, a 54 year old lawyer, in Holly Township, Oakland County, Michigan. That Esther Cornell was a daughter of this couple is proved by Esther's death record, which lists her parents as Archibald Cogshall and Abigal Slosson.

    Archibald married Abigail SLAWSON on 10 Jan 1810 in New Canaan, Connecticut. Abigail (daughter of Israel SLAUSON and Mary DUFREES) was born on 03 May 1791 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; died on 31 Jan 1876 in Kent City, Kent County, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
