Notes
The following list of children are taken from
- Ancestry World Trees. Jeri Garner Family History Collection
That tree notes with regard to son Andrew
- "Andrew Cowan Jr. was not named on the list of heirs on Court Minutes, Book 4, Page 212. "
This implies that a full will exists; that will needs to be recovered in order to substantiate the child list.
1. John, m. Leah Lewis, d. aft 4 Mar 1830
2. Robert, m. Jean McSpadden, d. aft 19 Oct 1808
3. Samuel, m. Mrs.Mary (Polly) Walker Rogers 5 Nov 1804,. 1 Apr 1775, d. 27 July 1832
4. Ann m. James Roddy (There are two in the area at that time), d. aft 19 Oct 1808
5. Jane, m. 7 August 1798 to Samuel Roan, d. aft 19 Oct 1808

7. Martha, m. 9 Feb 1797 Joseph Dixon, d. aft 19 Oct 1808
8. Mary, m. Hugh Dixon, d. aft 19 Oct 1808
9. James, m. 6 May 1796 Betsy Doherty, d. aft 19 Oct 1808

11. William d. aft 23 Jan 1806
12. David, d. aft 19 Oct 1808
With regard to son Andrew, we know that despite the fact that he is not apparently listed in the list of heirs, that he was a son of Andrew Sr. presumbly by his first wife, because of the notation in the estate inventory that Jane Thompson Cowan, administrix, to the effect that he had taken a horse with out leave. Implies bad relationship between Jane and Andrew, and that she was probably her stepson.
| Spouse 1: | | Unknown. Sometimes identified as Mary Walker, daughter of John Walker III of the Wigton Walker line. There seems to be no primary documentation that gives his wife's name as "Mary"; the idea that she was "Mary", may be based on an assumption that she was the "Mary Walker" who married Andrew Cowan (4) of Southwest Virginia. That Andrew did indeed marry a "Mary Walker", but court records show that the latter couple remained in Southwest Virginia.
| | DOM: | <1767 | Andrew Cowan is reputed to have had 12 children by his first wife. She died sometime prior to 1793 when he remarried. Assuming a 2 year birth interval, with the last child being born in 1792, and allowing a year after marriage for the birth of their first child, that places their marriage at no later than 1767, and probably earlier.
