"Frances Coggan, tenth child of Henry Cogan by his wife Joane Boridge, was baptized at the
Church of St. Mary Magdalen, Taunton, co. Somerset, 24 Feb. 1605/6, and was the youngest
daughter mentioned in her father's will. She married at the same church, 26 Nov. 1623,
John Whetcomb or Whitcomb, and came with him to America, sometime between 1634 and 1638,
with as many of their children as had already been born (at least five). They were first
in Dorchester, then in Scituate, finally settling, among the founders, in Lancaster, Mass.
John died there 24 Sept. 1662, aged ca. 74; Frances, 17 May 1671."
