Cowles from Warren County New York
Darwin Richardson 6/09/06
I am posting further information about my ancestor, Eliza Anne Cowles. She is my great-grandmother, she married William Caulkin Knapp about March 1873. He was born 1 Sep 1852 in Chester Warren New York and died 17 Jun 1914 in the same town. They had a daughter Hattie Knapp (My grandmother)on 9 Apr 1876. Shortly after that, Anne died in 1880 and Hattie was given to a couple, the Middletons to raise and William remarried. I found Anne in 4 censuses. 1855 Horicon Warren New York census where she was listed as Lisa A. Cole, 2 year old "child" of Emily Cole along with another child Charles; 1860 Horicon Warren New York census at 7 years old with Emily and Charles, no relationships listed; Chester Warren New York 1865 Census, with Charles who is listed as head of house and now the name is spelled Cowles. Emily is listed as Charles' mother
but Eliza is listed as Charles' niece. So I don't know who her parents are, even though I know that Emily and Charles are related to her. In the 1870 census she is listed as a domestic servent to the Kingley family. I know this is a lot of information, but if anyone knows anything about her, please let me know. Thank you.
