Tarrant Co TX (probably) I would love to make contact with anyone researching the families of either of these two men. I have been working very hard to find their parents but no luck. I believe that they are the grandsons of Samuel Cowan and Ann Walker; he was the one killed by Indians in SW VA. I have been trying to eliminate their sons as possible fathers for my William and his brother, Samuel. So far, I've done a lot of eliminating! Any help appreciated, Cindy Henslee Stamps
