Hi Debra,
Mine are also from Luxulyan....I'll have to dig out my documents, but I think it was William Sturtridge Grose and his wife that came to Canada in the early 1800's. I'll get back to you with more info- it's quite possible that we do have a connection somewhere

Hi,
Sorry it has taken me ages to respond. But I have looked into your questions about the COSS connection. I cannot find any link between the two. There is no records of any of my branch of COSS coming to the USA. But the records are very spotty at best when I get to the english/british end of things.
My only firm connection is William Coss who went (deported as a convict) to Australia.
It is also reported that he was of dark skin, with black hair and eyes. It was rumoured in my family that he was black or half black. And had an occupation in England as a coachman.
