Abstract

Description

Legal documents and correspondence related to a dispute by the descendants of Thomas and Sarah Cooch that they did not receive the inheritance due them from the will of Francis Lowen of England who died in 1779 or 1780. Francis Lowen was the brother Sarah Lowen Cooch, wife of Thomas Cooch. The Cooch heirs did not receive their inheritance because they were not notified in America of their need to lay claim to the inheritance. All later attempts to secure the inheritance were denied due to a statue of limitations regarding the filing of a claim.
