Overview

From: Glover Family

John Cowan (August 21 1770- ?) and Susannah Glover married sometime before 1806 when their son John GLover Cowan was born in 96 District, South Carolina. John Sr. was the son of John Cowan, Sr (1739-1792) and Margaret who are said to have come to 96 District during the late 1760's from Augusta County, VA. John Sr. owned land on both sides of the Savannah River, and operated a ferry (Cowan's Ferry) there during the Revolution.

Susanna Glover was born March 6, 1779 in North Carolina, probably Stokes County, since her parent's marriage records are there. Her father was John Glover, a Revolutionary War veteran who moved to Old 96 District shortly after the Revolution.

Notes

There are commonly two John Cowans both identified as the sons of John Cowan=Susannah Glover. One is given the middle name of "Glover", the other "Franklin". Both are sometimes given the DOB of 1806 and sometimes as 1812. It appears that this is an example of name recycling, with one son John born in 1806 and dying before 1812, and the second born in 1812 using his name, but distinguished with a different middle name. There is a Franklin Cowan, who some identify as John Franklin Cowan, in the Ancestry census rendition, born in Florence, Stewart Ga, in 1812. If this is, indeed, the same person as John Franklin Cowan, then it is John Glover Cowan who died young.
