I have only just begun to research the Cowden-Fullerton side of my family so I don't have all the names and dates. I am also descended from the Burns family of Pleasant Hope and the Wilson family from around the same area. My great grandmother was Anna Lou Fullerton Burns (married to Thomas Lafayette Burns, son of Robert W. and Mariah, grandson of John and Margaret Wilson Burns - all buried in the PH Cemetery). Anna Lou was the daughter of Robert Hardin Fullerton and Mary C. Cowden Fullerton. I didn't know Mary's parents' names until I saw your posting. My Anna Lou is listed in the 1870 census as Cynthia A.L. - I guess she was named for her grandmother. I would love to correspond with you about Cowden family history. Please either post a reply to my message or contact me directly by email. I look forward to hearing from you.
