Sally Cowell, b. Jan 25, 1758, Indian Ridge, Currituck Co., NC
Hi,
I haven't posted to this forum for a long time, but I just found something interesting I need to run past my Cowell cousins.
For a long time I've been struggling to find a connection between my gggg grandmother, Sarah (Sally) Cowell, b. Jan 25, 1758 in Indian Ridge, Currituck Co., North Carolina, and her family, whoever that is. I know that sometime between 1775 and 1780, or maybe even later, she married Joshua West Jr. and had three children.
What I don't know for certain is who her parents are.
Recently, I found a will of Joshua Campbell, Sr., dated Dec. 20, 1775 - March 16. 1776 (Currituck Co. Will Book 1, p. 116). In his will he mentions John Cowell, Dorcus Cowell and Sall Cowell. I'm pretty sure Dorcus and John are brother and sister, children of Benjamin Cowell and either of his 2 wives, Sarah ??? or Elizabeth ???. Until now, there was one daughter mentioned that I did not have the name of. She was probably the daughter of Benjamin's second wife, Elizabeth, but I'm not sure of that yet.
From Joshua Campbell's will it appears Sall (or Sally) could also have been a sister of John and Dorcus and could be the unnamed daughter I've been wondering about.
So, I'm asking the genealogical experts on this forum, could this Sall Cowell by my Sarah (Sally) Cowell, who married Joshua West Jr.? Or, am I making a bit of a stretch to make that assumption?
