MAJOR JOHN (2) COGGESHALL, son of John (1) COGGESHALL, was born in
England in 1618, the eldest son. He was fourteen years old at the time
of the arrival of the family in America in 1632. Upon the death of his
father, in 1647, he came into possession of his large estate. Major
John COGGESHALL was long and often in office, for nearly half a
century exhibiting eminent executive ability. He was commissioner of
Newport, upon the union of the four towns and reorganization of the
government, August 31, 1654, also at the last election under the old
charter, May 22, 1663. He was one of the original grantees of the
royal charter of 1663, and at the first general election under the
charter, May 4, 1664, he was elected one of the five assistants, with
Governor Benedict ARNOLD and Deputy Governor William BRENTON; also in
1665, 1670, 1671, 1674, 1676, he held the same office. He was
treasurer of the colony in 1664, 1665, 1666, 1683, 1684, 1686; and was
deputy for Newport, October 25, 1665. In 1684 he was chosen
major-general for the forces of the island. He was deputy governor in
1686, and in several elections was proposed for governor, but declined
to serve. But few men of the time exerted greater influence or
rendered the colony such faithful service.
