Anyone out there with a connection to the Cowan family of Clonkeen/Glenkeen? I have been sent an 1838 indenture, drawn up at the time of a proposed marriage, between a Cowan and a Elliott. This indenture also refers to the 1770 Archdale lease, renewable forever, of land at Clonkeen, to the Cowan family. Other names in the identure mentioned are.... Gerard/Gerald McGregor, John Smyth of Pettigoe and William Elliott. If you have a connection to Clonkeen or the Cowan family or any of the names mentioned, please contact me. Thanks, Carole E.

Hi Carole My husband has a connection to the Cowan and McGregor families. His gt gt grandmother was Catherine McGregor of Drumall, Derryvullan who had a sister Sidney who married Robert Cowan in 1826. They lived at Clonkeen and at least one of their sons came to Australia and on arrival he said he had a cousin or relative (can't remember just which at the moment) named Richard Cowan. I've collected a few bits and pieces on the Cowans in Ireland and would be very interested in the 1838 indenture particularly the reference to Gerard McGregor who I think is a brother to Catherine and Sidney's father.

Thanks Kerrie for your message, I have forwarded it to Pia, the Cowan researcher. Pia originally contacted me after finding my message re- a Alexander Elliott of Clonkeen marriage to a (possible) daughter of Mary Cowan of Clonkeen. She will send you a copy of the 1838 indenture/land agreement. It was drawn up in anticipation of a Edward Cowan's marriage. Kerrie do you have the a copy of the.... May 1829 Enniskillen Chronicle and Erne Packet ? It lists all persons who have lodged applications to entitle them to register their ₤10 & ₤20 Freeholds? Included in the 1829 list is a.... Phibbs McGregor of Drumall, with house & land at Drumall, valued at ₤10. A Phibbs McGrigor is also listed on the 2/4/1839, in a petition of landowners and inhabitants of Co. Fermanagh. Best wishes, Carole Elliott.
