I am not provably related to that line of Polk County Cowdens, but I am related to one of the other lines there, that of brothers Rives Carter Cowden and William O. H. P. Cowden. My ancestor is George Alexander Cowden of Illinois. I am trying to sort out to whom in Greene, Polk, and Dallas counties I am relatively closely related and those to whom I am more distantly related. > > > ==== COWDEN Mailing List ==== > This COWDEN list is currently available for adoption! > Interested in becoming the list manager?
