Children of John Cowling and Mary Coad[ not incorrect order]Thomas,
Susannah, William, Edward, Elizabeth, John, Charles, Mary Jane, Richard,
Caroline, Addison. That is eleven. The par. is about Thomas who has eight
Children. This was all taken from the books I refered to at the beginning.
Hope this clears it up.
