Benjamin Cowan (also known as Cowie) was my 2xg'grandfather's brother. I am researching the Cowie/Cowan family line but have come to a standstill at this time. Benjamin, snr, was from Scotland and his wife was from Ireland. Benjamin, jnr, is listed as being married but I cannot find any evidence of marriage.
