Dear Susan, My Great Grandfather was William Sullens Cowden
Born Nov. 12,1844Died Dec.12,1931.
He lived near Knoxville Tenn. I think in Bearden Tenn.
He was in the Civil WAr.His father's name was James and his mother's was Martha.
He had five wives. Jessie, Chrissie, Kate, Laucresia Hope, and Martha.
I do not know how many children, but I believe there were at least four. My Grandmother, Maude and her brother Anderson were two children from the second wife Chrissie.
I would like to find someone who knows whenthe Cowden family came to this Country, and what Country they came from. I believe it to be Ireland, Scotland or England.
Any Information would be appreciated. Alva Catalano
