Notes:

There is a note in Scituate of Sarah Cowen, d. Israel, dec'd Jan 5 1718. This is clearly not her, but could be a previous sister. It looks like there are several generations of Israel Cowen / Cowing's, maybe with daughters Sarah in Scituate. I wonder if they might be Jewish.

Notes:

Buried:
Findagrave says Joseph was the son of Israel Cowen, which may be true. There is a birth record for Israel's son in 1715 in Scituate. There is a baptism record for him in 1719 and lists him as child of Hannah, widow. So, were Israel & Hannah married, and when did he die?
