| Robert (b. 1820) Coubrough
Line
Robert Coubrough was a son of John Coubrough and Catherine Andrew. John was the older brother of Matt Coubrough (b 1805), who in turn was the father of James Coubrough and the grandfather of Matt (b 1854). Thus Robert was a first cousin of the James Coubrough who married Annie MacDonald. Robert was married twice: first, when he was about 20 years old, to Margaret Clark MacDonald, with whom he had 4 children. Margaret died when her youngest child was about 2 or 3 years old, and about two years after that, Robert remarried. His second wife, Mary Sandilands, was a young widow with a small daughter of her own. Robert and Mary had three more children before Robert died in 1855, at the age of 35. John MacDonald Coubrough was the second son from Robert's first marriage, and David was the only survivor of the three children from the second marriage. John moved to England sometime before 1870 and married and English girl, Ann Inwood, with whom he had 5 children. David married in Scotland but in about 1912, he packed up his wife, Mary S. McKay Smith, and all 8 of their surviving children and moved to Canada. They settled near Montreal, Quebec, but some of the children later moved to other parts of Canada and to the US.
