DAR records say Andrew Matthew Cowan, b1760, NC, d1815 TN married Martha Evans, who was a sister to Captain Nathaniel Evans, of Sevier Co., TN. Lost Links, originally published, Nashville, TN., 1947, says Andrew Matthew Cowan was the son of Samuel Cowan who was killed by Indians at Houston’s Fort in the summer of 1776. Andrew’s mother was Ann Walker Cowan, who was held captive by Indians for several years. Andrew Matthew and his wife Martha are the people I am researching, and I would welcome any help. As I do research I try to collect any pieces of Cowan information that I think fits the time frame and area of these people. While doing so, I am aware Henry Cowan who married the widow Temperance Armistead/Armstrong Robinson, is a part of the so called seven brothers. This is part of what I have on them taken from information supplied by Frank Lamb who began researching the “Henry Cowan Family of VA,” abt 1929. I hope this helps the Henry Cowan researchers. Henry Cowan b abt 1733, one of seven children, first came ashore in Eastern Maryland. Henry served in the Rev War, one of his comrades, Daniel Robinson was killed and Henry went to tell his widow, that's how he met Temperence. Daniel and Temperence had one child Thomas. After leaving the service, Henry married Temperence abt 1781, he was nearly fifty years old, he received one hundred acres of land in Rockingham Co., VA., where he spent the remainder of his life, dying there abt 1829, at the age of 96. Temperence died there April 1838, age abt 70.
