McCown/McKown in Missouri

My brother, Richard McCown, exchanged e-mails with a woman descended from Eli McCown. They moved to Missouri. Apparently the family split up with the father staying in Missouri and the rest of the family moving to Nebraska. This was approximately in the mid-1850's.I have been tested for 37 Y-DNA markers and just recently got a notice from FTDNA that I have an exact 12/12 marker match with Sammy Allen McCown.My brother believes that he currently lives in Missouri.Unfortunately, he is my only 12/12 McCown match and hasn't responded to repeated e-mails sent by me, my brother Richard and by Leonard McCown.Leonard McCown is the McCown Surname Group Administator for FTDNA.
Also, Sammy Allen McCown hasn't posted his test results on GEDCOM which in turn would be displayed with the 17 other McCowns whose results are compared on a free website operated by Family Tree DNA called Y-search.If you navigate to that page you can see not only the Y-DNA results but also earlies known ancestors' names, country of origin of said ancestor and also, in some cases, "Pedigree" which translates to family tree.
If you are acquainted with Sammy Allen McCown in Missouri, please ask him to reply to the e-mails.
