Re: William Yates Culpeper VA, Campbell GA born 1800
6/17/98
Sarah Jane Cowan/Cowen/Cowin who married Joel Green Yates was the daughter of Francis Cowan and Mary Patey/Patty/Paty of Laurens District, SC. Francis was a brother of my GGGGF John Cowan. After Francis died 6 Oct 1827 in Greenville Co SC, Mary remarried to Vincent Thomason, and they moved off to Campbell Co GA. Mary Paty and Rebecca Paty Moore are thought to have been sisters.
Vincent Thomason's brother William Thomason married Delilah Patey, a sister of Mary and Rebecca.
John Cowan moved his family to St. Clair Co, AL, and his brother James Cowan went to Marshall County right along the border with Blount Co. Alabama. I have found it interesting that Sarah Jane and Joel Green Yates also later came to Blount County, and have wondered if they were in contact with their Cowan cousins.
Francis Cowan and Mary Patey are also said to have had two sons; Charles Melmath Cowan and James Jasper Cowan. I have never been able to find out anything about them. Do any of you know something about them?
