I am seeking for ancestors and descendants of James Hill Cowan and Kaaatherine Mayo. The above lived in Wilmington, North Carolina and he was mayor of Wilmington back in the early 1900's. All help appreciated. Thanks

Re: James Hill Cowan of North Carolina
Dorothy, I have a John Randolph Cowan m. Mary Jane Hill on 3 Oct 1865 in Florence, GA (Stewart Co.) Their children were Emma Gertrude, Jessie, James Castello, Robert Franklin, Effie Estelle (my g-gma) and William Hill Cowan. We believe James Castello Cowan was the only one of the boys who married. He was born 13 Aug 1873. Would have honored his mother's name (Hill) as a middle name on one of his children? Don't know if this helps you, but that's how my branch of the family tree connects the Cowan/Hill groups.

I am looking for Jessie COWAN b 1890 in New York. She married John ALBERT and had several children in the 20's. She then married and Ed BROWN. I have pictures of Jessie COWAN. Does this sound familiar?

Re: James Hill Cowan of North Carolina
Jean, Sorry. I have a Jessie but she died early in the 1960's an old maid ~ never married and to my knowledge never left the state of Georgia. Looney as they come in her later years, the mirrors in the house had to be covered or removed as she thought she was seeing witches (her own reflection). Good luck in your search!

Re: James Hill Cowan of North Carolina
Yes. I recognized the pictures you posted and my sister has verified that they are indeed of our mother. She was born Feb 10, 1904. Married John Albert in 1925 and had 4 children: Walter 1925, Ann 1927, John 1932 and Patricia 1940. She left in 1948, married Ed Brown. Jessie Cowan Albert Brown died September 19, 1970 in Holderness, N.H. If Walter was your father then you are my nephew.
