COSTON
- Carole from Ontario, Canada has informed us of the following:-

My great great grandparents were in Henham in the 1790’s. They were James Coston b. 1798 , (not known where) and his 1st wife was Sophia, born 1791 (not known where) She died in 1817. They had two children.
Maria 1814-1814 and John 1816-1837, both born Henham. James remarried to Hannah and they lived in Pledgdon Green. They had Mary Ann b. 1819, Emma b. 1822, William, b 1824, James b 1827, Joseph, b 1827, William James , b,1831 . Mary Ann Coston born,1819 Pledgdon, married William Snow, b. 1817 Elsenham. My Coston and Snow families go back a long ways.
My great grandparents came to Canada about 1875, they were William Coston, born 1851, Pledgdon Green and Emma Louisa Snow, born 1860 Henham. William came to Canada first and Emma came later, and they were married in Canada and remained here.
Editor’s notes: The Coston family are mentioned in the 1841 and 1861
Census Returns. It is interesting to note there are also Costin in the same village, this maybe a corrupted spelling of the name on documents.

COWELL
Bill Cowell from Kansas advises us -
Many generations ago, our Cowell family lived in Ashdon, Thaxted and finally my great-great-grandparents Peter & Sarah Cowell lived at the Great Hyde Farm, Little Bardfield. They later moved to Henham Lodge, and my great-grandfather Ebenezer Cowell took over the farm until he moved to Midsummer Hill near Ashdon and finally to America. His brother Jasper was a farmer, preacher and architect, and was the first of our family to move to America. His wife passed away and he left six children and returned to England. He married again, and his second wife did not want to come to America. So, he persuaded my great-grandfather Ebenezer to come and take over the farm where I grew up. My grand-father Thomas Cowell was born at Henham Lodge, and I’m quite sure most of Ebenezer and Martha Perry’s family was born there.
Ebenezer and Martha Perry Cowell had nine children as follows : -

Edwin born 05.09.1862; died 1946 in Brooklyn, NY
Annie born 22.10.1863; died 19.09.1888; married Charles Moutell
Agnes born 01.01.1865; died 31.10.1928; married Nathaniel Dring, and Alfred Manning (after Nathaniel’s death)
William born 29.09.1866; died 03.01.1951; married Helen Adams, and later Roberta Clarkson (after Helen’s death)
Kate born 05.01.1868; died 21.07.1929; married Charles Howison
Thomas born 18.05.1869; died 17.09. 1964; married Edith Amy Adams
Albert Ebenezer (twin of Thomas) born 18.05.1869; died 06.06.1870
Ada born 15.12.1870; died October 1969; married Jim Boysen
Emma born 02.02.1873; died 1962; married William Starling

Ebenezer, Martha & family, with the exception of Edwin, moved to America in December 1884. Edwin later came as far as Brooklyn NY. When the Cowell family came to America, the James Yarrow family came along, and the two families have been very close here in America. The Yarrows lived in the red brick house where the lane starts to Henham Lodge.
Bill also advised us of the find in 1848 of Roman, Samian & Greyware pottery in Hall Field at Henham Lodge Farm and which was given to Saffron Walden Museum in 1891 by Mrs Susannah Cowell. She was an active member of the British Women’s Temperance Association and was buried in Little Sampford churchyard.
