Joseph Cowan

[raley]

We don't have too much to go on with this side of our family. All we
have is Joseph Cowan, my grandfather died in a train crash as the
engineer of the Galloping Goose. I do know that we are from Cowans,
Scotland. Joseph had one brother, Jim and one sister (?). Jim was
buried in Cottonplant, AR and his sister in KY. Does anyone know
anything at all about this.
Help!!!

Have you tried "Cowans from County Down"? You don't have any dates here.
The book talks about 2 groups of Cowans migrating to the U.S. from Ireland
in the 1700's. One group, my line, is the line the book refers too, however
there is mention of a second group about the same time with 4 brothers.

[Christie Johnson]

Thanks, I will try that. If you ever come across anything, please save my
email address and let me know.
Thanks again

CCD is available on the web as a PDF file:
http://ww3.telerama.com/~rpdraves/cowan/CowansFromCountyDown.PDF

DNA proves that my Selkirkshire Cowans connect up with at least some
of these Scotch-Irish immigrants, through the Stirling Cowans. It was
quite a thrill to see Cowane Street in Stirling this spring.

Yes, I have already seen it. Thank you

[Everett M. Cowan]

This PDF must be a work in progress, unless I am missing something here, it
is incomplete.

[Christie Johnson]

You're right. It is a work in progress. It just ended. I did print what
was there and I also found out a little more so I'm on my way.

Does anyone have the information about William Cowan Jr. & Daughters page 213 in the book The Cowan's Of County Down.

Hi Kelley -- be sure to ask this question on the Cowan list at
Rootsweb, because that's where all the researchers are. This is just a
little side-list for those of us who have Scottish Cowans, rather than
the majority of researchers who have Southern US / Scotch-Irish
ancestors.

(I am not the listowner for the RW list, just this one.)

Christie, what research have you done on Joseph and his family? It is
important to begin with yourself, and document each link, and each
family, step by step as you go back. Often you will find information
on one sibling that throws light on the rest of the family. So it's
important to seek out land records, tax lists, voting records, wills,
pensions, immigration / naturalization, obituaries, etc. -- on
*everybody*. You know where these people are buried, so you can look
for cemetery records, monument carver records, burial, death,
transport records, and on and on. Plus of course the other records I
mentioned. Have you looked for newspaper accounts of the train crash?
Especially as reported in the home-town newspaper, rather than where
the accident took place, although that might have interesting
information also.

Tell us more about what research you have done, and maybe we can help
you specifically.

??? I have never found any paperwork with Agnes maiden name on it... The only things i have that state her name, is William Lawson Cowan's death certificate, and pictures of their headstones...  His death certificate has her married name Agnes Cowan... and the headstone says - Agnes M. b. April 11,1789  d. March 23, 1872.
Oh... i also have numerous census with her living with William, but nothing with her maiden name.
Don't know what happened to Joseph, William's father, he's not on any census, and isn't buried with them. No record of him in the states. Agnes & her son William were both born in Scotland. He lived in the US for 63 years... that puts William moving here at age 9.


William Lawson Cowan's headstone says "son of Agnes & Joseph"
they are buried in Darien Cemetary, Genesee County. New York
