I am researching Cowden(Cowdin) family and I have an Earl R Cowden born May 1894 to John Prescott Cowden and Josephine (Goodman) Cowden, in Wright Co., MO. If this is the same Earl he was my grandmothers half brother. Or possibly a son of my Earl. Please let me know if you think there is a link. Velma
