Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 120-121:
Richard L. Gosnell, a leading barrister of the County of Kent, who for the past twelve years has been in the active practice of his profession in the town of Blenheim, is a descendant of one of the early settled families of the county.
The Gosnell family is of south of Ireland nativity, and contrary to the general religious tendencies of the residents of that part of the Emerald Isle, they are Protestant in religion. Joseph Gosnell, the grandfather of Richard L., was born in Ireland, and there married Mary Webb, also a native of that locality. In 1832, with wife and children, Mr. Gosnell came to Ontario, stopping for a season in Toronto. His journey there ended, his death taking place the same year. The bereaved widow with her children pushed on into the County of Kent and located in 1833 in Orford township, where some of the descendants are still living. The children of Joseph and Mary Gosnell were: Joseph, George, Lawrence and Henry, all deceased; James, the father of Richard L., still living; Frances and Ann, deceased; Sarah, Mrs. James Ostrander, living in the State of Illinois; Ellen, Mrs. Reycraft, of Orford, deceased; and Mary (twin to Sarah), who died in infancy, in Ireland.
James Gosnell, fifth son of Joseph, was born in Ireland April 25, 1822, and accompanied his parents to Ontario in 1832, remaining with his mother after the death of his father, and assisting her until his own marriage, in 184-, to Elizabeth Salter, daughter of Thomas Salter, also of Irish extraction. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. James Gosnell settled on a farm in Orford township, County of Kent, where they have passed together more than half a century, and are still surviving, surrounded by their many friends. To them were born the following named children: Susan Ann married David Latimer of Howard township, and both are now deceased. Thomas S. married Maud Walker, and resides in Winnipeg, where he is collector of inland revenue; their only daughter bears the name of Eileen. Joseph, who resides in DeKalb, State of Illinois, married Mary Mills and their three children are Byron W., Richard Roy and Glen. William A., who resides in Ridgetown, married Allie Mitton, and they have one son, Hal. John J. is unmarried and resides on the old homestead in Orford. George G. died at the age of twenty-two years. Richard L. is mentioned below. Mary Elizabeth is still at home.
Richard L. Gosnell was born May 17, 1863, on the old homestead in Orford township ...
In March, 1892, Mr. Gosnell was united in marriage with Miss Lillie, daughter of William Tape, and granddaughter of Thomas Tape, well-known citizens of Howard and Orford townships, respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Gosnell are members of the Methodist Church...
