We may be related to the same Gowan family.I have a cemetery listing from an old gravesite in Cloughy, Co. Down, Ireland.The stone was erected by William Gowan of Ballyspurge in memory of his father, John Gowan, died Nov. 25th 1882, aged 82 years, and his mother, Jane, died March 30th 1883, aged 83 years..The above mentioned William Gowan died April 19th 1897 aged 64 years and his wife, Eliza Gowan, died May 16th, 1901, aged 70 years. We think that your John could have been a son of this John and therefore a brother of William. John and Jane were married in 1829 and their first three children were Isabella, William, and Jane.There were more but this is as far as we have it so far. Have more info but not all substantiated.
