I'm interested in the Robert Cowan m Nancy Rutledge. Did He have a son named Andrew? I have been unable to connect my Andrew Cowan to any Cowan family. However I have long suspected that he might be a brother or, perhaps, a cousin to the John Cowan m. Nancy Gibson and lived in Lebanon, Russell County, VA. Any help would be appreciated.
