Cogswell's in America Collectibles

I am descended from Margaret Jane Cogswell born July 8, 1829 in Haverhill, Essex, MA.
She married Samuel W. French in Haverhill on October 30, 1848.
Their daughter Amy Hope French was born on December 7, 1864, but we have been unable to locate her birth record.I have no siblings for Amy who would have been born 16 years after her parents' marriage.She was not listed in her mother's obituary.She married Joseph Charles Burnes and had 6 children, several of whom were placed in an orphanage or given to other families in the Boston area.Perhaps she had been disowned by her mother????Or perhaps she was an adopted daughter?
Does the 1882 transcription mention this family?
Thanks.
