    Notes:

    I had the privilege of meeting Bev (Howard) Winsor in June 2002, when her brother Warren was visiting from California. We all got together at Chelo's in Smithfield to meet each other and discuss our family connections, of which there are many.

    It turns out that my dad Norman went to school with Bev's brother-in-law, Ralph Winsor. For years the Winsor family ran S. B. Winsor Dairy, and now Bev is the "senior executive." When I was a child our family had milk delivered a couple of times a week by that dairy.

    We have both Coggeshall and Remington connections way back in our ancestry. But the most satisfying part of meeting them was fellowship in the Lord, as we have a shared faith in Jesus Christ.

    Beverly — Edward A. Winsor. Edward (son of Sydney B. Winsor and Ruth E. Unknown) was born 6 Oct 1914, RI; died Jan 1987, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I first met Warren online as I stumbled on his web site looking for Coggeshall ancestors. Noticing that his site had beautiful pictures of nature scenes and pages on biological science, giving credit to the Creator, I emailed him and thanked him for such a nice web site.

    Not knowing where each other lived or what the other's full name was, through the course of emails I discovered that he and his wife Jean have lived in California for many years, and attend church near where my cousin lives. They had previously lived in the Buttonwoods section of Warwick, RI, near where I had grown up; furthermore, his middle name was Remington, after his mother's maiden name, and he had grown up in Johnston, where I now live! There were so many coincidences, and that was before I learned that his sister Bev owned the dairy which used to deliver milk to our home when we were children, and that a brother-in-law of his sister went to school with my dad in Johnston and Providence!

    According to my "kinship report" on Family Tree Maker, Warren is related to me as follows: 7th cousin once removed; 7th cousin twice removed; 8th cousin twice removed; and 9th cousin once removed.

    We got together with Warren a couple of times when he was here in RI; in 2006, Rich & I visited Warren at his home in Tustin, CA. I last heard from him in 2009.

    Warren — Jean Coggeshall. Jean (daughter of Haydon Coggeshall) was born 14 Dec 1925, MA; died 14 Nov 2005, Orange Co., CA. [Group Sheet]
