My name is R. Gail and I have been researching my Cowans family history for quite some time. I've located almost 200 years of my Cowans ancestry. It goes back to the time of slavery in the United States. My Cowans' ethnicity is White, Black and/or Native American. Cowans is an old name but not that common. Sometimes my ancestors name was spelled Cowan, Cowans, or Cawon. If you are looking for Cowans ancestors, I may be able to provide you with information that leads to your ancestor. I've kept notes of Cowans I met along the way that don't belong to my line. I'm willing to share this info with anyone. Maybe you'll find your long lost ancestor in my notes :-) !
