Klise, Page 271 The Cowman Family As early as the year 1818, John and Elizabeth Cowman left their Virginia home and joined the tide of emigration then setting strongly toward the Ohio Valley. They became settlers of Highland County where their descendants have since been found among the staunchest and most respectable of the citizenship. When they arrived their son, John F., was a mere infant, his birth having occurred in Virginia, December 19, 1815, but he grew up to be useful and prosperous member of the community. In early manhood he became a miller and at different periods of his life was engaged in milling in various localities, including eleven years at Greenfield April 18, 1838, he was married to Caroline, daughter of John and Betsey (Kees) Foster, with whom he lived happily over thirty years and who bore him a large family of children. Mrs. Cowman's father came from Pennsylvania and in 1812 purchased a tract of land in Liberty township, on which in 1827, he erected a dwelling-house that is still well preserved and makes a comfortable residence. It was at this place that Mrs. Cowman was born February 20, 1817, and here she is spending the evening of her days under the affectionate care of her children. Her husband died January 26, 1869, but a few years before that event he purchased the eighty-one acres of land settled by his father-in-law and to this estate Mrs. Cowman and her children removed soon after the father's demise. The farm is situated four miles north of Hillsboro, along the New Vienna pike, contains a good orchard and is in a thrifty condition. Among the children of John F. and Caroline (Foster) Cowman was a promising some named John Madison, born February 6, 1840, who enlisted in Company C. Eighty-first regiment Ohio volunteer infantry, served three years and died from the results of a wound received September 2, 1864, at Atlanta. William C., the second son, who also served in the Union army, is now clerking for Wolfe & Colvert of Hillsboro. Samuel W. resides on the farm with his mother; Edna is the wife of John McCright of Fayetteville, Brown county; Esther C. is caring for her mother at home; Emma Jane died in January, 1900, and five others passed away in infancy.
