Just in case you all did not notice this Hugh Cowan is Immigrant Hugh who is brother to my JImmigrant John Cowan. You have my attention, I don't have them connected back just this way so we need to talk about this and since it is not my line, I am even more interested in your sources. I have 1st wife as Ann Mathias and 5 children then Mary Davidson as 2nd wife. This Elizabeth Parke is which Elizabeth Parke? I have your David as being married the 2nd time to Elizabeth Parke so you need to get me straight on this. <g> Heritage Quest has a couple of the Parke Books in their on-line collection. Good post - thanks for making in, but now you have to get me all straight as to why it is this way. <g> Please contact me off this list so that we can talk about this more.I know that there are very few 4 brother researchers and I love being reminded that they are out there!!!!
