Do you have any information on the Cowdens of Chester Co? I am descended from John Cowden and Mary Reynolds who moved westward in the 1770s. John Cowden died along the way, but his widow and children settled in Washington Co, PA. Although it is commonly believed that John Cowden was the son of Matthew Cowden of Paxtang, there is some evidence that would indicate this is not the case. So now my objective is to find the families of John Cowden and Mary Reynolds. Any sign of a John Cowden in Chester Co? Thanks. Dick Wert
