Joseph Cowell, s/o Edward, b. England abt 1640, m. (1) 1673 Mary (Carter) Hunter, m. (2) 1696 Elizabeth Williams.
[Note: the will of first wife Mary Cowell in 1702 identifies herself as relict of Joseph Cowell, and also other documents indicate Joseph's first wife was alive after 1696S1, so therefore, the 1696 marriage was not Joseph senior, but Joseph junior. Cutter then goes onto to confuse Joseph Cowell Jr. with a different Joseph Cowell instead of recognizing that the 1708 will is Joseph Cowell, Jr.]
