Dear Judy, I am almost sure my Cowan's came from Washington Co., PA ? >Bourbon
Co., KY>Ripley Co., IN. but I still am looking for the proof of documents. The only
other lead I have to-date is the 5-3-1792 Will of William Cowan which lists children:
Jane, Jean, Alex, John, Hugh, Wm. Elender Rankin, & Geo. Camble. This was taken from
article "Virginia Estate Settlements" of Ohio Co., VA. where some of my
realitives stoped off on way to KY. Hugh Cowan is my immigrant & gggg-grandfather.
His sons Wilson, John & Wm. came to Ripley Co., IN with the Buchanans around 1812.
