The researcher(s) at Cowgill Cousins assert that mother Ellen Cowgill was most likely the wife of Edmund Cowgill of Thornton, son of Edmund and Jennett Cowgill. This is partially based on the record of a Jane Cowgill, daughter of Edmund, baptized at Thornton in 1664, corresponding to Jane's marriage to Stephen Sands in 1685 at age 21.
They further claim that although one early history claimed that mother Ellen was a Stackhouse by birth, that "several subsequent well-researched Stackhouse histories strongly assert she was not one of them."

Can the Quakers Project join as co- manager for Jane Cowgill Sands? The Project Category is already on the profile but management is missing. Both I and my husband (oops) are possibly descendants of Jane. As a Quaker Project member Id love to work together and provide Quaker Sources.
