John A. Cowden's wife was Sarah Ellen Armstrong, daughter of Samuel Armstrong and Margaret Sproul so I don't think there is a connection through John A. Cowden's wife.

In the 1880 census of Pleasant Hope, Polk County, Mo. Jeff (possibly Jefferson), the son of James Choate was a laboror living with the John A. Cowden family. I am hoping to find out if the Cowden and Choate family were related.
