Notes about Ellen

The widow Ellen Cowgill, with four of her children, left Liverpool for America aboard the ship The Lamb of Liverpool, which loaded 26 Jun 1682 under John Tench (or French), Master, and arrived in the Delaware River on 22 Oct 1682. Ellen's son, Ralph Cowgill, had preceded her, having arrived the 28 Sep 1682 on the ship Friends' Adventure, which had loaded 3 Jun - 4 Jul 1682 at Liverpool under Thomas Wall, Master. Ralph Cowgill traveled as a "servant" to Randall Blackshaw, whose daughter he later married. Ralph's brother, John Cowgill, also traveled as a "servant", but to Cuthbert Hayhurst. The term "servant" refers to an indentured servant, or one who engaged himself to work without pay, usually for four years, in exchange for passage to America. William Penn encouraged these arrangements by guaranteeing all such "servants" a grant of at least fifty acres when their term of service ended. He hoped in this way to secure a class of settlers trained to work for a livelihood. Both John and Ralph Cowgill earned their fifty acres. No record of Ellen's husband has been found, but is now thought to have been Edmund Cowgill who d in 1675.
