Laurie,

It may have been garbled but it's what I found and what I was sharing. If you re-read the post, "my" "cousin" is not mine. It was a notation that I found in the records concerning Samuel Winsley in Massachusetts. Two of the sons of Philip Fowler, Samuel and Thomas, settled near him (SAMUEL WINSLEY) in Salisbury and Amesbury and his son Samuel Winsley, left property to the children of Samuel Fowler above, and calls him cousin. and there was a family connection between his son Nathaniel Winsley's wife, and Philip Fowler's family.

If you have found something that denies Samuel and his family calling the children of Philip Fowler (or anything showing that would be false) cousin, I'd love to have that citation. From what I've been able to find, somehow Philip Fowler and Mary Winsley/Winslow Fowler were related to Samuel Winsley/Winslow. Since I've been working on this for over 40 years, I'm totally open to finding new information about this particular group of people.
