Re: William Cowle & Ellen Brew (Santon)

with the 1628 (? are they actually 1629) wills (ie court before Christopher Brew's will) there are two interesting letters one from Wm Cosnahan dated 8 Jun 1629 to Ewan Christian - Sir Wm stating the wife of old Christopher Brew at the approving and apportioning of her son's will and testament would mee? dissallow it for her son that was lately married to Jane Crellin? was born and called Thomas Carrally and it was said he was 14 years at may last .. middle of August 1614 wch is 15 yrs ago - seems to query this with Ewan Christian (deemster) who replied dated 14 Aug 1629 "concerning the age of one Tho Carrally? sonn unto
the wife of Christopher Brew [] [] []
that the mother of the sayd Tho wth other friends came
unto mee and desired [] [] that hee might
enter upon her tenement wth Christopher Brew by
the marriage of his mother and consent of his sister
kath duringe his minority aledgeing that hee was
come? to lawfull years vid? fouteen,"

I havn't fully deciphered the two letters and can't quite tie up the names unless associated with Thomas Charalaugh (d 11 Apr 1629;sis Margaret Charalaugh(sworn overseer by court), Mallie, Jane Charalaugh; wife Jane Gell?) but does look at tho old Xpher had at least 2 wives

you may like to look at these - I've also done quite a bit more of Lib vas 1623..1656 (almost complete now that might shed a little more light on this)
