I have a Samuel Cowden (married to Rebecca Ryan) who had a daughter, Sarah Ann Cowden, who married Merritt Barnett in Lucas County, IA on 01Mar1866. She died in 1922 in Dresden, KS. Her siblings were Zarilda Cowden Barnett, Jane Cowden, James Cowden, Samuel Clement Cowden, Hannah Cowden and Rachel Cowden. I have no other information on these Cowdens except for some descendants of Samuel Clement Cowden. jlynn112@aol.com Searching for CHASE, COCHRAN, PALMER, PROSSER, MENDENHALL, CARPENTER, COWDEN, BARNETT, BEAVERS, BELL, CARTER, BALSLEY AND WILSON
