Devon / COSWAY Family - Richard COSWAY 1742 - 1821
« on: Saturday 28 March 09 16:39 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace the Cosway family back in time and there is a "story" that we are related to the famous miniture painter Richard Cosway b 1742 - d 1821.
Richard was born in Tiverton, Devon and his father was a master @ Blundells School. His uncle was mayor of Tiverton at the time.
My research has taken me back through my family history to a William Cosway b 1798 - d 1884 in Tiverton, but no further.
If you have any details of the Cosway family that connect with the painter, please let me know. I attach a self portrait for interest..
