I can add a little more information about the posting just made on Nathaniel S. Cowan. His name was Nathaniel Seabird/Seaburn Cowan; he was the son of Samuel C. Cowan and Sarah Howard of Marion Co. TN; they are both buried in Red Hill Cemetery at Whitwell. N. S. Cowan married Josephine B. Kelly 25 Sept 1867 in Franklin Co. TN; Josephine died 25 Feb 1904 in Elmo (Independence Co.) AR; Nathaniel apparently died abt 1900, according to information in the book Births, Deaths, and Marriages Extracted from the Sequatchie Valley News 1891--1910. Josephine's death made the newspaper back home. They had one more child after the 1880 census, a son Kelly Cowan, born abt 1891. Josephine Kelly was the daughter of Alexander and Martha Kelly. In 1870, Nathaniel and Josephine were living in Grundy Co. TN in the home of Sarah Vaughn. In the 1900 census of Independence AR Josie Cowan was enumerated as a widow. If this strikes a bell with anyone, please contact me. This Samuel C. Cowan was the brother of my William Cowan of Marion Co. TN, and I am researching both families. Thanks, Cindy Henslee Stamps
