Alan, The Cowdens I am researching were from Scotland to Ireland to MA, then my branch moved to MO. I'm sure all the cowdens are related somehow. If you want to email me directly we can discuss this more.( v_kwood@yahoo.com ) Any other Cowden(Cowdin) decendants please do the same.I am decendent from Thomas MacCowden, 1630 Scotland. When he moved to Ireland he dropped the Mac. There are several Johns, James, Thomas's, Phillips, and they were married to Wilder, White, Farrington, Sawyer, Prescott, Grey,Craig. Interesting bunch. Waiting to hear from you. Velma
