June 04, 1787, PA who married Thomas S. Cameron on April 14, 1806, Lancaster, Fairfield, OH. Thomas S. Cameron, bn Bef. 1782, PA and he died on 1825 in Williams Co., OH. One of their daughters is named Mary Ann Shannon Cameron who marrie an Alexander Stephenson, bn 1807 in PA. Listed in the will probated for Thomas Cameron in Williams County, OH in 1825 has a John Cowley, Thomas Shannon with her in the bond as Administrator with the state of Ohio. Signatures on the will are of William Cameron, Thomas Stephenson and a Sam Lang?/Long?. We have been trying to find a connection between John Cowley, Thomas Shannon and Sam Lang. Was John and Thomas possibly related to Elizabeth. These family lines were in PA, Lancaster, Fairfield, Clilnton, Belmont, Ross, Williams, Wayne and other counties in Ohio. From there they went to Tippecanoe, IN and then Buchanan County, IA. I wondered if Elizabeth is somehow related to Henry Cooley/Cowley and Mary Shannon. -------------------------------------- From the LDS Files amilySearch™ International Genealogical Index v5.0 North America Family Group Record Husband Henry Cooley Pedigree Birth: 1763 Yorktown, , , Pennsylvania Christening: Marriage: About 1782 Yorktown, , , Pennsylvania Death: 25 SEP 1813 Concord Twp, Ross, Ohio Wife Mary Shannon Pedigree Children 1.
