Information from Cindy Stamps on 6 Nov 2007 to T.Mason. "The Samuel C. Cowan you have listed born 1806 Bledsoe Co. died Whitwell is not the son of Samuel and Sarah Keith Cowan. He is the brother of my William. They lived together, are buried together, owned property together, and I have copies of two handwritten letters from my William's grandchildren speaking of going to visit their Uncle Sam. According to Samuel's daughter's death certificate, which asked for parents' birthplaces, Knox Co. TN was listed. I think part of the problem may be that while Samuel and Sarah Keith Cowan had a son named Samuel, he seemed to have vanished. He's never listed anywhere his brothers are, and I suspect that he may have died fairly young. It was my Samuel who died 12 December 1885."
Information from Cindy Stamps to T.Mason on 1 Oct 2007. "William Cowan was born about 1811, according to an old songbook that their son, Stephen, wrote the dates and names of their children in. He is in Franklin Co. AL with his brothers, among them Riley Cowan, in the 1840's. William Cowan came to Titus Co. TX, along with a large group of family, among them his brothers, and died shortly after the 1850 census. He was married to Sarah Hickey, who married again after his death."
"In the 1840 Franklin Co AL Census, William Cowan and Riley Cowan are found on p. 232. Riley Cowan is a distinctive enough name that can be pretty easily identified. Wm. has 1 son under 5, that would be John H; 1 son 5 to 10; that would be Jas Riley; he is male 20 to 30; 1 female under 5; that would be Polly; 1 female 20 to 30; that would be his wife Sarah Hickey; 1 female 50 to 60; that would be his widowed mother, Sarah Keith Cowan. on p. 226 is Wade Blassingame, father of Louisa Blassingame, wife of Jas Harvey Cowan, another of Sarah Keith Cowan's sons. They all moved on into Titus Co. TX. Sarah Keith Cowan died before the 1850 census. William died bef 7 Oct 1856 when his wife settled his estate and married Isaac Robinson. "
