Charlotte, you and I seem to have a couple of things "in-common". Samuel COWAN, killed by Indians 1776-VA, is also my ancestor. I descend through Samuel's grandson, Robert COWAN (1776-1841), son of Robert and Susannah (Woods). Robert and Nancy (Martin) COWAN had a daughter, Mary "Polly", who married James P. NEWBERRY. Their daughter, Nancy, married John F. STEPHENS. John and Nancy had a son, Madison W. "Mat" STEPHENS, who married Escenith KNIGHT. Mat and Senith's daughter, Sarah Della, married Charlie BAKER. Charlie and Della were my mother's parents. Charlie BAKER's brother, Allen "Al", married Willie LANE, daughter of Jesse B. LANE, Jr., and Mary COWAN. Mary was the daughter of Alfred and Susan (Newberry) COWAN. Kermit Rutledge
