John, I am descended from the COWAN family through Elizabeth Cowan who married Peter KINDER in KY. She is the only Cowan I have at the moment and is my great-great-great-great-grandmother. I think they married in Shelby County, KY, moved to Breckinridge County, KY and were in Perry County, IN by 1820 where she is listed as a widow with a young daughter. You might possibly have an Elizabeth Cowan Kinder listed in your research and if so you might know the names of her parents. I have researched the Kinder line, and have a Peter Kinder (DAR Patriot) and Peter Kinder the son of Elizabeth as a War of 1812 Veteran. Darlene
