I have a book from Franklin County Historical Society that's based on the John Melcom Delzell Family. Around 1837, they headed to Franklin County, TN. One of the travelers name was Nathaniel Cowan. He was headed to William's Cove where some of his relatives had already settled. I have a copy of some peoples land transactions. It says James Sargent to Samuel Cowan and John Cowan a tract of land on the Elk River dated April 1st, 1816 and a Martin Little to John Cowan tract of land on the Elk River dated June 29, 1813. That's all I have. I am looking for any information about Samuel and Lucy King Cowan.

Jerry, It may be John Cowan, BROTHER of Samuel Cowan, killed by Indians. It would sure make things fit a lot easier. I have read and re-read Dr. Cowan's letters and must admit there is room for confusion. For instance the following from McClung Papers, copy of original letter from Dr. Cowan to distant relative, "You ask me about Aunt Sally Cowan of Salem Tennessee. I know her well and her family have been at our house often, when I was a child with father and mother, also since I have been grown. Her husband's father was one of Samuel Cowan'a sons, probably the youngest. The note of her age made by your father must have been in 1866, for she was then over 90 years old.... OK, lets cipher a little. Makes Sally born around 1776 to one of Samuel's sons. If he was approximately 25 that would make him born around 1751 with a lot of older brothers and sisters which does not square up with Whites dates for the Samuel Cowan/Anne Walker relationship. But this does show that someone named Samuel Cowan was having children around 1750 which means he was born around the early 1720's just like the immigrant Samuel was suppossed to be. Could Samuel Cowan, killed by Indians be the son of the immigrant Samuel? Lets examine what we know are facts (In a few minutes cause I got to eat first) Regards, Robert Cowan

Dan, You are correct about Fischer's work, Albion's Seed, probably the single most important historical work of the last 50 years..... Listen to the observations of Freemantle, English observer at Gettysburg... "This land was huge. England had a sense of compactness, like a garden, a lovely garden, but this country was without borders. There was this refreshing sense of space, of blowing winds, too hot, too cold, raw in a way raw meat is raw-and yet there were neat farms, the green country, so much like Home. Southern Home. Couldn't grow flowers, these people. No gardens. Great weakness. An yet. They are ENGLISHMEN. The great experiment. In democracy. The equality of rabble. In not much more than a generation they have come back to class. As the French have done. What a tragic thing, that Revolution. Bloody George was a bloody fool. But no matter. The experiment doesn't work. Give them fifty years, and all that equality rot is gone. Here they have that same love of land and of tradition, of the right form, of breeding, in their horses, their women. Of course slavery is a bit embarrassing, but that, of course, will go. But the point is they do it all exactly as we do in Europe. And the North does not. That's what the war is really about. The North has those huge bloody cities and a thousand religions, and the only aristocracy is the aristocracy of wealth. The Northerner doesn't give a damn for tradition, or breeding, or the Old Country. He hates the Old Country. Odd. You very rarely hear a Southerner refer to the "Old Country" In that pained way a German does. Or an Italian. Well, of course, the South IS the Old Country. They havn't left Europe. They've merely transplanted it. And THAT'S what the war is about.... This is the message in Albion's seed, we are Celts, and the Northerners were Puritans and the one thing the North could not stand was England reproducing itself in a culture in the South. So we fought. The words were from Arthur Freemantle in Michael Shaara'a Pulitzer Prize winning novel, "The Killer Angels," the story of Gettysburg, the defining moment in the defining struggle for America's soul. If you can read this book and not weep like a child then you are much tougher than I. "Thus ended the great American Civil War, which must upon the whole be considered the noblest and least avoidable of all the great mass conflicts of which till then there was record." Winston Churchill A History of the Enflish Speaking Peoples DEO VINDICI Robert Cowan Forrest's Cavalry
