My Father is George Chauncey Cousens, formally of Waltham, Massachusetts. George Cousens father was Doctor Nicholas William Cousens, born on a farm just outside of Charlotterown, Prince Edward Island. Nicholas Cousens was one of a large family. The only name I have of his siblings is Samuel Cousens who lived all his life on the farm in PEI. Samual died some time around the late 1950's. Would it be possible that you would have any reference to the Cousens of Charlottetown PEI? I'd love to hear from you if you could spare a moment to return a note!
