  • Notes 
    • Notes from Annie (Arnot) Gilbert regarding her Mother Annie Cowan
      "Family history of Ann Cowan by her daughter, Annie Gilbert; Ann Cowan born Aug 10 1849 in Forfar, Forfarshire, Scotland; second Daughter to John & Margaret Cowan. There were five children in the family: Margaret, Ann, Eliza, Willie & John.
      The Father owned and operated a grocery store. He was a thrifty Scot, and had a nice business. One morning he left home to go to the store but he never reach (ed) his destination. He disappeared entirely. No trace of his whereabouts was ever found. No one ever knew what happened to him"....

      Marriage: 11 September 1871 Scotland - from Family records - unverified
      Birth certificate of Andrew Arnot 1875 in Edinburgh, Marriage of Andrew Arnot, Mason Journeyman & Annie Arnot, MS Cowan is stated as 11 September 1872, New Jersey, USA
      How did this couple get to New Jersey in 1872 and married there??

      Arnot, Andrew Son, Male, Age 10
      Arnot, Anna Dtr, Female, Age 6
      Arnot, Isabelle Dtr, Female Age 3

      Details are sketchy - currently unable to find her transportation or entry into USA. If Anne & Andrew were married in New Jersey, strange no immigration records for that?? Perhaps try New Jersey

      Notes on a family website, saying Andrew became ill, suggest return to Scotland? Which Andrew - Husband of Son?
      Again no records to verify this entry
