He md.Jane Esther Shipley 15 Feb 1829. He lived in Bishopwearmouth, Durham Co.Eng. and I believe he died abt.1846. He is my g.g.grandfather. His son Matthew b.1836 is my g.father. Perhaps we can exchange info.if there is a connection. He may have been a son of Mathew Cowper and Hannah Sedgewick, but I have no proof.His wife died before 1846 and I believe Mathew must have been raised by relatives.
