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.en-USNO COPYRIGHT - UNITED STATESNewark (Del.)--History--18th century, Newark (Del.)--History--19th century, United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865, United States--Politics and government--19th century, Deeds, Legal documents, Letters (correspondence), Maps (documents), PhotographsMSS 0130OCLC# 606625928
