Elvira Jane is the daughter of William Cowman and Mary Jane Banks.They moved to Iowa before 1850, having previously lived in Highland Co, Ohio.William was the son of Peter Cowman and Catherine Winegar, originally of Rockbridge Co, VA. Elvira was born Jan 8, 1835.
Margaret is the daughter of Joseph Cowman and Rebecca Vinzant. They were married in Indiana.Joseph was the son of John Cowman and Elizabeth Strickland. John was the brother of Peter(above). John relocated from Va to Highland Co,Ohio before his brother Peter, and then moved on to Indiana, and ultimately Iowa.
That the brothers Elwood married two distantly related Cowman girls is interesting.Maybe someone has the full story
