The family was living 5 dwellings away from Lewis Cowden (and Rachel). Next door is their son John Howard Cowden. With so many Cowdens on one census page made me think perhaps Robert and Lewis were brothers. They were about the same age, but Lewis said his father was born in Delaware and Robert claimed Pennsylvania. But errors are not unusual. Then I found your posting, and wonder if you have learned more since then. I read the Cowden and the Robinson list messages regarding these families. The only thing I found to add to your info, in 1920 census, I found the widow Rachel Cowden, age 60, living with an elderly lady named Effie, 76; and was listed as companion. Still in Coleraine township. I would be ever so happy to learn that you know about Robert Cowden, who married my great aunt Mary Fox about 1878 in Oxford, PA. Their descendants continue to elude me; just hope we might have crossing pathes. Cheers, Clay Fox
