The family immigrated to the USA in 1818, settled near Italy Hollow, NY. Parents were Joseph Cowan and Agnes Miller. From an old letter we know Hugh had a sister Agnes, brother William and possibly had sisters Margaret and Mary. Hugh migrated to the Effingham Co and Coles Co, IL area in 1830 where he married Cintha Burke, then then went to Casa, Perry Co, AR where he died 19 Apr 1884.
