Has anyone else ever made a connection to Cowans in St. Clair County, Alabama? Apparently my Cowan line lived there for about 30-40 years and had eleven children, but no one else seems to be connected to them! It's hard to believe that no one of this line is doing family research. Hopefully someone will recognize the county. Thanks. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Her husband John Westwater was already here in states, never showed up to greet them and was presumed dead. I believe her to be the daughter of Charles and Margaret Scott COWAN of Coal Creek, CO, who also came from Scotland to the Colorado area.
Its amazing how you can look at the same piece of the genealogical puzzle over and over and see nothing until one day the little light bulb goes off and there it is.... Elizabeth Walker married John Campbell from Kirnan, in Ireland First we send out a post to see if anyone knows where Kirnan is an right away Nina writes back and says she has been there. We change the spelling to Kernan, send the information to John Giacoletti, who has some rather detailed source materials on the place-names in Ireland and find out that it is in County Down, within walking distance of Sheeptown, a know Cowan hangout. This supports Emma's contention of a County Down location for the Walker family when they moved from Wigton. Should be the end of the story, but... A couple of days later Jerry sends this post about Joseph Walker, youngest son of John and Katherine Walker which he got from information in Chalkley and from Emma's book pages 492-494 which states that Joseph Walker was born in or near Londonderry, July 15th, 1722. That by itself would be stunning, but it gets even better. Not only does it show the westward migration of the Walkers from Down to Derry right before the families departure to America, it comes from a source that predates White by almost 100 years. In 1806 the Reverend John Campbell wrote a letter about the passing of "our venerable uncle" Joseph Walker. This obit even contains the words of the songs sung at the funeral and specifically states that uncle Joseph Walker was from Londonderry. The Reverend JOHN CAMPBELL should know since he is the nephew of JOHN CAMPBELL of KERNAN, in Ireland. See Emma White's book page 3. This connection between Down and Derry through the Campbell family is priceless. Four years later (or thereabouts) John Walker, John Campbell, Elizabeth Walker Campbell, and others hop on Richard Walker's ship and head to Pennsylvania. I would like to imagine that Richard Walker, resident of Portaferry (Nina, you found a Richard Walker in Portaferry at the correct time, correct?) set sail for Lough Foyle as the anticipation began to build for the trip to America. The Walkers and all the other families went down to the docks to watch the ship arrive that would soon take them away. That evening a great wake was held, goodbye's were said and much poteen consumed and on the morning tide they left, sailed out of Lough Foyle around the most northernly point of Ireland, Malin Head, and headed west. All the passangers stood on the port stern to have one last look at the green hills of Innishowen knowing they would never return. Regards, Cowan of St. Johnstown, Raphoe Parish, Donegal

Jerry, That post was magnificant!!!!! Do you not see what I see?? "Our venerable uncle" Joseph Walker. That would mean the Rev. John Campbell was the son of Elizabeth Walker who married guess who, JOHN CAMPBELL from guess where, KERNAN in Ireland. The good Reverend just happens to have the obit and even the words to the song's sung at the funeral and a little inside info that Joseph Walker was born near Londonderry. This information was 1806 which predates everybody!! and frankly is stunning since it ties Down and Derry together. On top of that throw in Forrest's cavalry which is about as close a Cowan connection as possible since my good uncle Dr. James B. Cowan was Forrest's chief surgeon and wrote that Samuel Cowan was from Londonderry and now things are starting to take shape. We will definitly have things to look for on our trip previously not imagined. Now, Jerry if you would be so kind as to provide the TOWNLAND of young Joseph Walkers birth I would be in your debt. Regards, Robert Cowan On the Right Road
