Notes
https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Margaret_Cowan_%2816%29
1. The number of children which John and Margaret had is unknown. In his will Johnrefers to "my three older children" at the time of his death. Given that he had only been married to Margaret for six years, it seems likely that this refers to children by a previous marriage. Two of these children by this presumed marriage are believed to be Isabella and Henry Gass, but the identity of the third child are not known.
2. Intermediate sources attribute this to Source:Ellis and Evans, 1883, but the record could not be found in that work. Note also that some sources describe Donegal Presbyterian as near modern Hershey, PA
