Laura Cowan Cooper John Cowan =Elizabeth Parke?I pick my line up in Salisbury Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania then son Henry moves to Rowan County, NC where my line stays until my grandfather moves to middle TN in about 1903ish. My research interests line in the Cowan lines that settled in and around Sevier County, TN as well as the different Cowan lines within the Cowan DNA Surname Project. I feel by sorting some of the Cowan families that were floating around we will start to untangle the many lines that appear to be merged as well as locating information that has been packed away and forgotten.
