I noticed several postings on Cullen COWARD. My wife has an indirect connection to him and I thought someone researching this family might be interested in what happened to one descendant.
His son Jefferson COWARD b.1829, SC and wife Martha had a child, Robert A COWARD b.1872, MS.
Robert and his wife Ellen are listed in the 1900 census of Scott Co, MS; but then move to Polk Co, TX.
Their son Ellis Jackson COWARD b.1901 married Lydia Elizabeth BROCK.
My wife's maiden name is BROCK and that is her connection to the family. If anyone is interested in this branch, I'll be glad to share what I have.
