Any one out there that has COWANS from St. Francis, Ca moving on to Maine in the 1870-80's? Have found a Frank COWAN in Readfield, Me in the 1900 census, age 35 and a widow with a young daughter. He lived next door to a Joseph COWAN, age 45 in the same census. Think this Jos. came over the border in 1873. Do not know if these are the same family altho it would seem likely. Joseph lived in Hallowell, Me. in the 1880s working in the Granite industry. Had a family of nine children. Would like to heard from any with Cowans in Maine. [email protected]
