To: Jacqueline From: John L. Cowan in Baltimore Thank you so much for the lookup. It provides the sources: Original>> Shilt Abstracts>>FTM CD 175. I have photocopies of every fragment of paper from Warren County Bx #1, and am very much aware of the lineage of these Cowans. I was hoping for ages of the two children who went into guardianship, but no such luck. It does pretty well confirm, however, that others didn't glean any information from those papers that I might have overlooked, or information that might have been there at some earlier date, but not when I had copies made. I appreciate your help.
