 Research Notes:
"Erected/ to/ the memory of/ Captain Robert Cowan/ late of the/ Royal Scots Greys/ who died on the 30th September MDCCCXXIV, in his 79th year,/ also of/ Mrs Mary Criddle/ his spouse/ who departed this life on the/ 12th December MDCCCXXV,/ aged 66 years."
Marriage Information:
Mary married Cpt. Robert Cowan, son of William Cowan and Janet Andrew, on an unknown date. (Cpt. Robert Cowan was born on 26 Jun 1746 in Overtown, Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland, died on 30 Sep 1824 1 and was buried on 6 Oct 1824 in Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland.)
Marriage Notes:
"Robert's marriage may have happened anywhere his regiment was stationed. Several marriages for Mary Criddle in Somerset suggest that several births in the correct time period are missing from the parish records, and a birth around 1759 might also have been omitted. Criddle is a name not found in Ayrshire, and there is little likelihood that Mary swas born in Scotland."
