This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DMQ.2ACIB/801.2.1 Message Board Post: Jesse R Cowan was born on Kansas on Feb 26, 1881. His parents were listed on his birth certificate as Frank William Cowan born in Missouri. His mother was listed as Mary E. Foster born in Kansas. Once again I am at a dead end. I have a feeling from what I have been told Columbus Kansas seems to be an area where some family lived at one time. However I can not locate any connections regarding Jesse's parents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks Lori
