Introduction
See YDNA. Cowan Groups#Background. Note: Some kit numbers appear with a colored background. Similarly colored kit numbers indicate exact YDNA matches.
Seven Brothers
The Seven Cowan Brothers Group
is said to have originated from Seven Brothers who settled in Pennsylvania in 1726. Much is unclear about this group, and many popularly held beliefs appear to be unfounded. Only limited direct evidence has been found for the Seven Brothers in Pennsylvania.
Some descendants whose YDNA matches the Seven Brother signature trace their descent to person:David Cowan (1) who settled in Albemarle County, VA, about 1735. He is thought to be related to Margaret Cowan who married John Gass, in Cumberland County PA c. 1730. But the relationship between Margaret and David Cowan is unknown, and it its not certain that margaret's last name was actually "Cowan".
It is not clear that there were in fact Seven Brothers, as identified by Source:Fleming, 1971. While members of this group share a common YDNA signature, their common ancestor is not known. The only thing that ties all of these individuals together is that they share a common modal YDNA pattern, and are presumed to have a relatively recent common ancestor. Even this may be illusory, as this line shares a very common YDNA type, referred to as "Niall of the Nine Hostages". Niall lived in the 9th century Ireland, and is believed to have been the progenator of about one in ten male Irish living today. The fact that his YDNA is consistent with the Seven Brothers, may indicate that the reason there are so many Seven Brothers in the Cowan YDNA project, may be that that they share the large portion of their YDNA with other Niall descendants, and that their common ancestor lies further back than genealogical methods can reveal. In this view, at least some of these lineages may represent independent adoption of the Cowan Surname, rather than descent from a common ancestor bearing that surname.

| | 7 Brothers Cecil County | Participants in this subgroup closely match each other (3-4% dissimilarity). Two kits trace descent to a "John Coen" born 1687. died 1749 in Baltimore Co, Md. A John Coen/Cowing/Cowen is reputed to have been born abut 1690 in Maryland. His Place of birth is usually given as "Baltimore MD", but at least one researcher gives it as Cecil County Maryland on "Teggs Delight". Given that John is said to have married a Catharine Teague, this seems particularly plausible. Given his apparent early presence in Cecil County, it is possible that he, or his father, is the immigrant ancestor of the Seven Brothers line in America. Alternatively, his early presence in Cecil County may represent an independent importation from the other Seven Brothers members.

| | 7 Brothers Core | This is the largest subgroup within the Seven brothers SuperGroup, and probably represents the lines closest to Flemings original "Seven Brothers" concept, said by Fleming to have settled in PA in 1726. Fleming offers no direct source to support this idea, and no confirming evidence has been discovered. Their earliest well documented presence is their appearance in the Old Augusta, Albermarle area in the 1730's, in association with the extended Person:Michael Woods (1) family who immigrated from PA by about 1733.

| | 7 Brothers Cowan-Morgan | This subgroup is dominated by descendants of William Cowan and Cynthia Morgan. Two kits use the "Coyne" Surname variant, and trace their descent from Ireland about 1830; they are presumably descended from a common pre-immigrant ancestor to the William Cowan lines. A Fifth lineage, that traceing descent to Andrew Cowan=Margaret Evans in Sevier Co Tn presumably traces to a post immigrant ancestor in common with the William Cowan lines, but with 25 markers being tested, placement is uncertain.

Scituate
| Scituate. This group is characterized by having YDNA results consistent with the E1B1 haplogroup; this is a relatively uncommon haplogroup among families associated with Scot-Irish lineages, and may reflect a line immigrating to Scotland at an early date, from the Mediterranean or further south. Limited heritage information is currently available for these kits. All three kits point to an early importation to Scituate Mass, possibly with a John Cowen as the immigrant ancestor. "Most researchers believe that John arrived in Boston in February 1652 aboard the ship "John & Sara." The ship's passenger list included 261 Scots who had been taken prisoner by Oliver Cromwell's forces at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651. One of the Scots on the passenger list was John Coehon (Colquhoun) and it is generally thought that it was this man who appears in Scituate town records as John Cowin/Cowen." fide Lee Cowing, 27 april 2011.

Pequea Creek
Waiting revision
The Pequea Creek Cowans Core settled on Pequea Creek, in Lancaster County, PA, before 1721. They are believed to have come to Pennsylvania from the Cheviot Hills area of Scotland (See: The British Origins of the Pequea Valley Cowans). Descendants sharing the YDNA signature of this group are very clearly demarcated from other groups, with no other person currently in the test (as of April 2011) matching more closely than about 25% based on yALL test results. Note that not all members of this group necessarily descended from Pequea Creek Settlers. Some may may descend from ancestors who immigrated separatly, or may not have left Scotland.

Cowans Gap
Waiting revision
| The Cowan's Gap Cowans group is characterized by kits traceing their descent to one of the early Cowan Settlers in Bedford/Fulton County who located near Cowan's Gap shortly before the end of the Revolution, OR to descendants of Hugh Cowan who settled on the Octoraro Creek in Chester/Lancaster County about 1720. The Cowans of Cowan's Gap may be descendants of Hugh. Both groups share the same I1 haplogroup and a similar overall YDNA signature. See discussion at Octoraro Creek Cowans. Fleming, 1971, placed Hugh Cowan of Octoararo Creek within his "Four Brothers" group. The other three "brothers" lived nearby on Pequea Creek. We now know that Hugh of Octoraro was unrelated to the "Pequea Creek Cowans", but is closely related to the Cowan's Gap Cowans.

Knoxville Merchants
YDNA. Knoxville Merchant Cowan Group Samuel and Nathaniel Cowan settled in Knoxville TN, before 1793. They were among the towns earliest settlers, and established a store on what is now Gay Street. There are numerous records for them in the area, showing their role as merchants. James Cowan also settled here, and is thought by researchers to be the brother of the better known Samuel and Nathaniel. Based on YDNA results there are several lines of descent with comparable YDNA. Most of these lines seem to point to a South Carolina locale. The designation "Knoxville Merchants Cowan Group", is arbitrary, and does not mean that others belonging to this group are descended from Samuel, Nathaniel or James, or that those lines even passed through Knoxville. There are records that show that Samuel and Nathaniel Cowan had numerous business dealings in Blount County. There are specific records showing that they had dealings with various Cowan's from that area. This is sometimes taken to imply a family connection. However, YDNA for descendants of the Blount County Cowans shows that they are in the Seven Cowan Brothers Group, and do not show a common Cowan Ancestor with the Knoxville Cowans.
YDNA analysis shows that members of this group are very closely related, typically differening no more than

Background
Cowan YDNA results, as presented on FTDNA, have been analyzed using the yALL program. The data were extracted 4 October 2011. The following identifies and characterizes the genealogically independent groups based on this analysis. See Footnote below for technical background.[1]
Some of the kits did not compare favorably with any other kits currently available. These kits are labeled "No match".
Two very large, "super groups" have been identified, "The Seven Brothers", and the "Pequea Creek". Both groups include "outliers" that match some, but not all (or even most) of the other members. Typically, outliers are placed within a supergroup because they match more closely with members of that group, than any other, but also exceed the acceptance critieria. Additional work is needed within these supergroups to sort out their internal relationships.
Please note that the assigned group names are somewhat arbitary, and are often based on where ancestors associated with specific kits were living. Some members of the group may have no obvious ties to the group name, but are placed within the group simply because of YDNA similarity.
The "Lineage" sections provides such information as was made available by the test subject. Additional information has been provided where available in the "notes" section. Lineage data are provided "for consideration", and the interested user should not presume that they are necessarily correct.
