Sharon, from an oldpost I found info on a William Cowan in Union.He emigrated to the US about 1810-1820 and was naturalized there in Union in 1820.The post listed children, not proven, as James, Jane, Margaret, Elizabeth, Mary, William (b. 1812 Ireland), Janessa,(b. 1816 Ireland),
John, (b. 1817 Ireland).You will see John on the census a couple of times, but probably none of the others.The family moved to Georgia after 1860, then to Arkansas.
Your husband's William says on one census that his parents were from Ireland.This seems to be the only Coan family in Union from Ireland.
