General Notes: Husband - John Cowden

---

He was born in eastern Pennsylvania of Scotch-Irish parents, who had settled in the state several years prior to his birth. He married and soon afterward moved to Washington County. They settled on a farm in Mt. Pleasant township, a part of the original George Washington survey, where the remainder of their lives was passed.

"When John Cowden and Annie Sloan came to Washington County their oldest child, Mary, was carried in a wicker basket fastened to a horse's pack saddle and John, the second child, was an infant in his mother's arms." This would fix their advent about 1790.
