IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Cowgill's in America are descended from Ellen Cowgill, a widow from Yorkshire, England, who came to America in 1682.  Ellen's son John came a few months earlier on The Friends Adventure as an indentured servant to Cuthbert, Hayhurst. Many books placed Ellen and her other children on the Welcome with William Penn. Smallpox killed two thirds of the passengers on the Welcome, making it one of the deadliest voyages to the colonies.  Currently many believe Ellen came on the Lamb, because it left from the Yorkshire area. William Penn financed dozens of ships to his colony. He gave up on religious freedom being granted to the "dissenters" in England. As the Quakers settled in they were supposed to pay the founder "quick rents." Ellen came with her other four children, John, Jennet, Jane, and Edmund. There is no record of her in the New World. She left a legacy of many descendants in America.

Joe Henry is presently Grand Chaplain for the Grand Chapter of Arizona and we visit all the chapters in Arizona between last September (2007) and next August (2008) when the annual meeting takes place. Joe has to conduct the memorial service at that time honoring all those members who have died during the previous twelve months. It's going to be a challenge but he will do great. Nancy is finishing her two-year appointment as Grand Representative of Alberta in Arizona. We have gone to their Grand Chapter Sessions (Calgary in 2006 and Edmonton in 2007) and had a wonderful time.
