I have a Elizabeth Cowan who was born 25 Jun 1806, her sister is Rosanna, brother John, brother Joseph, sister Sarah, sister Mary....all names that appeared to have been used over and over again for generations throughout the Scott's and Cowan's. My Scott didn't marry a Cowan until 13 February 1910, but I have seen other Scott's marrying Cowan's earlier, somewhere. There were indeed a lot of Cowan's, Scott's, Graham's around the same areas at the same times. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of us aren't "double-cousins" somewhere back along the line. Just thought this was really an interesting post. I wish you luck on making the connections you need.
