Sources

Family Search Books: This book is a well researched genealogy for Edward Cowell and some of his descendants by Roger Barnes, Carmel CA 1972 He lists Margaret Wilson as the first wife of Edward Cowell and because this research is based on records her name is included as Wilson. His records include family bibles. Although I have seen no records with her last name. [3]
Many family genealogies on Family Search cite her name as Margaret Wilson. [4]
