Father* William COWARD b. 1707
Mother* Lydia MATTHEWS b. c 1708

Birth*1739John COWARD was born in 1739 at Mere, Wiltshire, England; He is allocated as the son of William since his age most closely matches that of his bride, and all of Samuel's sons named John died in infancy. It is possible that he was the son of Robert or Thomas. 
He was the son of William COWARD and Lydia MATTHEWS. 
Baptism19 October 1739John COWARD was baptised on 19 October 1739 at St Michael's, Mere, Wiltshire, England.1 
Marriage*16 November 1759He married Mary CHALKE, daughter of Thomas CHALKE, on 16 November 1759 at St Michael's, Mere, Wiltshire, England. Both of Mere.2 
Note*Other information; Two living sons named Henry and Harry?

There were five marriages of men named John COWARD in Mere 1747-1759. The mother's names were rarely given on baptism records in Mere at this time, so it is highly likely that at least some children have been allocated to the wrong parents. Based on birth spacings, there were at least 2 and possibly 3 men named John COWARD having children in Mere in the 1760's. 
Residence*John COWARD lived at Mere.
