Ladies and gentlemen, the surname Gossett has been a prominent one in Highland County for more than two centuries. The first Gossett to settle in Highland County was John Gossett, along with his wife, Honor Hull Gossett, and their family. The Gossetts actually came to Highland County before there was a Highland County.
