[edit] YDNAThree kits in the Cowan YDNA project trace their descent to James Cowan (14)=Hannah Woods.
These kits tested at 25 markers or fewer. A firm conclusion as to group affinity can not be reached from this level of testing. While these results are not definitive they do show similarity to the Seven Brothers group, and the haplogroup designation of two of the kits (R1b1a2a1a1b4b) matches that of other Seven Brothers kits that have tested at 67 markers or better. It is likely that the owners of these kits do in fact descend from the common ancestor of the Seven Brothers [edit] Old 96 recordsFrom:Rootsweb The following information comes from the Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. 51, pages 366-67, which quotes from Michael Woods' "Age Book"; and Vol. 52, page 48, which quotes the Woods-McAfee Memorial" by Rev. Neander Woods: [edit] NotesChildren of James and Hannah (Woods) Cowan:
Their son, James Cowan, Jr. was not named in his mother's will and may have been received land or other personal property prior to his mother's death. Alternatively, this couple may not have had a son James Jr. Or the Hannah Cowan whose will this is, is not Hannah Woods, wife of James. Note that in 1810 Hannah Cowan is listed as HOH in Abbeville. This implies that her husband was deceased by 1810. Either the DOD for James of 1815 is in error, or Hannah of the census record and will is the widow of a different Cowan. Alternatively, James son of James and Hannah, died prior to 1815.

Hannah Woods is my ancestor. She was married to James Cowan. I descend from their son James Cowan Jr. and Agnes Jones. I know quite a bit about this family but would like to know more. Most came from the writings and will of Michael Woods. [edit] NotesFrom Ancestry U.S. Census Reconstructed Records, 1660-1820 about James Cowan
