bullet  General Notes:


There are a number of John Cowan's born in Airth in the period 1740-1755. A number of researchers at Ancestry.com claim his parents are James Cowan and Margaret Morison who baptised a son John on 9 Dec 1753 in Airth. So the timing is about right but none of John Cowan's children I've identified so far have been named James, and Margaret is the 7th born child. So this makes me doubt that James and Margaret were the parents..unless a James and/or a Margaret may have been born in the 2 years between the marriage and the birth of Janet..

Both John and Agnes were described as being parishioners in Airth when they married.

The death in 1814 is the only viable John Cowan in the records for the area.
