Summary: Husband xxxx Gawne is alive, child underage, 2 brothers John & William Carran/Carrin; Henry Watterson is to pay her husband the legacy due from her 
parents, witnesses: William Clague & William Costeen, witnesses to codicil: William Clague & William Watterson, pledges: William Clague & John Carran/Charrin.
Will of mother: ArW 1666A #29 Rushen, of Catharine Carran/Carown alias Quirk, dated 27 March 1667: husband xxxx Carran/Carown is not mentioned, 3 children: 
son John & son William & dau Alice (oldest, of age, eventually married xxxx Gawne, her will ArW 1682A #16 Rushen) Carran/Carown, also: niece? Ellinor Knickle, 
sister in law? Marriad Knickle [alias Carown, ?sister of testator's husband, her will ArW 1670A #039 Arbory], niece? Mary Carown [dau of William Carown & 
Margaret Kelly als Carown als Gell], Ann Kelly, supervisors:  Henry Watterson [?married to xxxx Carown, sister of testator's husband] &  William Knickle 
[husband of Marriad Carown, brother? of testator's husband], witnesses: Richard Crebbin & Henry Watterson, pledges: Henry Watterson & John Carown, also, 
per a note dated May 1667 found at the bottom of the will: William Carrown/Carron was dead & his daughters Mary & Ellin [her will ArW 1669A #039 Rushen] 
were his underage executors, with their supervisor being William Kneale/Nelson, but they were of age now. 
Will of cousin?: ArW 1669A #039 Rushen will of Ellin Carown/Carran, died Christmas 1668: not married, sister Mary, mother Margaret Kelly 
alias Carran/Carown alias Gell, witnesses: William Costeen & William Watterson, pledges: William Clague.  QUESTION, William Carown/Carran 
is probably the father of the testator Ellin, per ArW 1666A #29 Rushen will of Catharine Carow alias Quirk, where Ellin & her sister Mary 
are recorded as the underage executrices of William Carown, with William Nelson/Kneale their supervisor; they were of age by May 1667.  
NOTE, this seems to be a case of the surname 'Carown' morphing to 'Carran'
