Well, my grandma Dora lived with aunt Lilly on top of our mountain in Corley. Next to the house grandpa Warrick built next to our family cemetery the last years of her life. She fell down the stairs & broke her hip. Grandma never recovered & aunt Lilly moved away, leaving pics, etc behind. Damn hunters tore up all the pics of the old timers & stole the frames. Tragic loss.Jacob was Peter's brother. They came over here on a "pink" (2-3 masted merchant ship) called the " John & William in 1728 & 1734.

Make that Kevin Cogan. And the ship, I've found was a "pink" called the John & William. They came over in two waves, 1728 & 1734. I only saw like 2 brothers rather than the 11 of oral history.1728 ship's manifest listed them as Kooyer?
