My line down to my father. Spellings were variable in early records. 1. John Cowen (b. 1795 Ireland, d. 1837 Chester Co. SC) m Martha McFadden 2. Alexander Cowan (b. 1795 Chester SC, d. 1885 Newton Co. GA) m Rosa Anne Wylie 3. Alexander Cowan (b. 1823 Chester SC, d. 1864 Savannah GA) m Mary Anne Stewart 4. John Cowan (b. 1843 Newton GA, d. 1918 Henry Co GA) m. Eliza Anne Elliott 5. William Cowan (b. 1878 Henry Co GA, d. 1929) m. Mary Angeline Wilkins 6. Orris Cowan (b. 1920 Henry Co. GA) m. Frances King DNA shows that my line is linked to Cyndi's but we just cannot find a connection. This has been tantalizingly close, and thus frustrating, because her Elijah was in Henry Co GA in the 1830's and my line moved there in 1825. Cregg Cowan
