The Coster family appears in my family history as follows:

"THOMAS MORGAN (baptised before 1644 since his youngest recorded child MARY MORGAN was baptised on 5th February 1664/65 ; buried on April 3rd 1711 in St Mary’s Church, Lydney ; last Will and Testament (GDR 159/1711) written on 18th March 1710/11 and proved in Gloucester Diocesan Court on 25th June 1711) left a bequest of property in Whitecleeve in his Will: “First I leave and bequest unto my dear and loving wife PRUDENCE MORGAN all and singular my land tenements and hereditaments whatsoever in the Tything of Whitecleeve”. PRUDENCE MORGAN subsequently disposes of some of these assets in Whitecleeve. This disposal is contained in the Will of JOHN COSTER of Redbrook, Newland (Will 1716) “I give and bequeath unto my said sonne JOHN COSTER …..two Tenements at Whitecleeve……………. lately bought of PRUDENCE MORGAN”.
