Posted on: Jackson County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Jackson/12132 Surname: Rowan, Noble, McCreary ------------------------- I am also doing research in Cottageville with Rowan name but you did not mention them in your query. Who are the Rowans you are working on. I believe that the Carpenters were from that area too. Judy Noble-Helton
