On February 16, 1785, John Cowan entered the Lincoln County court bearing a commission from the Governor that appointed him Sheriff of the county. He stood before the Justices and took his oath of office, then mentioned the fact that he needed a deputy. He recommended an old friend, a man he had served in the militia with and who had also hailed from Rockingham County, Virginia. Before moving to Kentucky, John Cowan had wed Mary Craig, the daughter of John and Sarah Craig who lived in the McGaheysville area of Rockingham.
