Cowin, Cowen, Cowan
I am seeking information on my grandfather Willian Toby Cowin b. 1872 McMinn Co. Tn., he died 1949 in Marlow, Ok. and his brother Richard Cowin b. 1865 McMinn Co Tn., he died 1941 in Carroll Co. Ark.Toby married Ida Pearl Strutton, also from Tn., they married in Quanah, Tx. 1909. Their children were: Viola Cowin Nixon, Joseph Riley "J.R."Cowin, Lena Cowin Spears Cockrell, Opal Cowin Harrell Sheppard Claywell, and Cleo Clifford "C.C." Cowin. All children were born in Bryan Co.in the area of Calera, Ok.
Richard married Susan Reynolds in McMinn Co. Tn. 1883. They later lived in Carroll Co. Ark. and their children were:
Elzie Etta Cowin Carpenter, Cradie L.Cowin Rhodes, Lockie L. Cowin Sweatman, Willie M. Cowin, Johnnie Clifford Cowin, and Ernest Cowin.
Toby and Richards father is listed as being from England, I believe his name was Joseph, their mother was from Tn. but I haven't been able to find a name for her. If anyone has information on members of this family I am so anxious to hear from you and I will share all the information I have. Thanks!!!
