Hi Rob,
Have you found any further info on John Cowden b. June9/1776, son of William Cowden & Janet McGuffog??
My g-g-g-grandmother, Jane (Jennie) Cowden was baptized in 1806 in Established (Presbyterian)Church in Kirkmaiden by Drummore, Wigtownshire Scotland.Her parents were John Cowden & Martha Gibson.
She came to New Brunswick, Canada with her parents around 1813 and was living in the Chatham Parish (Northumberland Co) when she married William Parks on Nov11/1823 in North Esk.
Your John would have been 30 when Jennie was born so it seems possible they could be the same person.
I'd appreciate any info you may have to share.
Thanks,
Brenda
