  "John had no children"; "Undated Geneal "John had no children"; "Undated Genealogy of the Cowles Family", American History Research Center, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio and "Genealogy of The Cowles Family in America" Vol. I, compiled by Col Calvin Duvall Cowles, U.S.A., retired, Historian of the Cowles Family Association, published by Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, Co. New Haven, Conn. 1929. "He inherited the middle part of his father's house lot. In his will dated 8 Jan 1746-7, he mentions his wife Experience Cowles and several relatives, but gives to his cousin (great-nephew) Nathaniel Cowles, then living with him, all of his real estate and most of his personal property and constituted him executor. Porter says that John Cowles gave his house and lot and most of his property to his nephew, Nathaniel Cowles, who guaranteed his support during life; that for many of the last years of his life he was superannuated and helpless and a burden to Nathaniel's widow and his son, Nathaniel, whose father died in 1724. John Cowles' will tends to contradict this statement in part at least, as no proof has been found that he gave Nathaniel his property. In 1727 he was appointed guardian to Nathaniel Cowles, a minor two years of age, and in 1741 Nathaniel Cowles, 16 years of age, chose Deacon Hart to be his guardian. The widow of Nathaniel married again in 1728 and it is not probable that John Cowles was a burden to her afterwards, if at all." "Genealogy of The Cowles Family in America" Vol. I, compiled by Col.
