I have a Elizabeth Cowan who was born ca 1808 East Tenn. Married Caperton Kelly ca 1823. Had daughter Nancy Ann who was born 9th of Dec 1828 in Cowan Tenn. Nancy's death certificate states that her parents were Mr. Kelly and Miss Cowan. Is there anyone missing a Cowan female born about 1808 in East Tenn and then would be in Franklin Co, Tenn by 1828 time period. The Kelly's were from Greenbrier Co, Va and migrated to Madison Co, Kentucky. They appear to follow the following famalies: Estill, Woods, Townsand, Kavanaugh, Campbell's, Estes and Caperton's. They went to Cooper Co, Mo but evidence according to census they either come back to Tenn where some of their children were born in the 1830's. I can't find find them in Tenn or Mo for 1830. By 1840 they are in Morgan Co, Mo and there for 1850. Here are the names of the children of Caperton and Elizabeth (Cowan)Kelly: William born ca 1824 Tenn. Nancy Ann born 9, Dec 1828. Emaline born 1834 E. Tenn. Thompson born ca 1836 E. Tenn. John born ca 1844 Mo. Eliza born ca 1847 Mo. Alcinda born ca 1849 Mo. Looks like there maybe some children missing. Franklin Co, Tenn Deed Book 27 Aug 1818 James Kelly bought from John Estes. James Kelly was father of Caperton Kelly and father in-law to John Estes. Lived on the waters of Boiling fork of Elk River. Franklin Co, Tenn Will book 1808-1810: James Kelly is a witness to the will of Andrew Woods and wife Hannah. 19th March 1810. In 1830 Franklin Co,Tenn there is a James Cowan who has a daughter 20 to 30 yrs of age which would fit for Elizabeth. The there is a Mary who has two daughters 20 to 30. So she could fit here also. Can anyone name all the children of the James and Mary Cowan where I can eliminate or find out more info on them or move on. Or!!!!!! can someone place a female missing who would have been born ca 1808. Elizabeth could have had another name I'm not awhere of. We know that Cowan's md into the Caperton family and my James Kelly md Nancy Caperton. She was the daughter of John Caperton and Polly Thompson. Please!!!! any clue or any kind of info sure would help. I have been at a stand still on this Cowan wayyyyyyyyyyyto longgggggg. Gay Nix
