Epes was the son of William and Lucretia (Burnham) Cogswell of Ipswitch. He married Mary Trask on 27 Mar 1806. He worked as a carpenter. He died a widower of a bladder inflammation.

Epes' probate record leaves property to his grandson Nathaniel Appleton, so there is some kind of familial relationship between them.

A…

[1824 is the date of the tomb, not necessarily the date of death for any interred therein. The inscription appears to have two "G"s in Cogswell..

Interred within:
Epes Cogswell
Elizabeth Cogswell
Emma I. Cogswell

Per city burial records, undated, but likely recorded between 1928 and 1950.

The inscription includes the letter “A” in the lower left corner. That typically is the last name of one of the owners of the tomb (Appleton).]
