Henry Cowgill Family Tree

Page 34 (in Cowgill History - see Notes on Cowgills in America Page)

Henry Cowgill, first son of John and Rachel (Baker) Bunting Cowgill, b 1704, Bensalem Twp, Bucks Co., PA, d 1769, m(1) 4 Jun 1724, Burlington MM, New Jersey, Mary Boulton, dau of Edward and Sarah (Pancoast) Boulton, b 1706, Mansfield Twp, Burlington Co., NJ, d before 1741; m(2) 24 Mar 1741-2, Nottingham MM, Province of PA, Alice Pain (Payne), b 22 Oct 1720, PA, dau of Josiah and Martha (Sheppard) Pain. George Payne, brother of Alice, married Rachel Cowgill, dau of Henry by his first marriage. Eleazer Cowgill, youngest brother of Henry, married Martha Payne, sister of Alice and George. Henry’s will, written in Fawn Twp, York Co., PA, and filed for probate 1 Sep 1769, named his wife and all of his children.

The minutes of various Monthly Meetings contain some very interesting facts about Henry and his family. Some were staunchly devout Quakers until death. Yet the records show that others were dismissed from the church for cause, both for minor "worldly" misdeeds and for some very immoral acts. Henry himself liked to drink, and was disowned 15 Jan 1755 by Nottingham MM for "drinking to excess". However, his wife and children remained in the Society. Later, a few began to drift away or were dismissed for marrying out of the faith, etc. Today, descendants of Henry may still be found in the Society of Friends!

The following obituary of Israel Cowgill was received from Gayle Garrage of Granger, IN, great-great-grandaughter of Israel:

“DIED. - At his residence in Gilboa Twp, on Tuesday April 23rd, of disease of the heart, our father, Israel Cowgill, in the 62d year of his age. A year of patient and weary suffering with the dread disease, which called him away, had prepared us all for the change; and, yet it came suddenly. On Monday and on up to the moment of his death he seemed better than he had been for weeks before. His life passed away without a struggle, setting calmly in his arm chair as though reposing in the arms of sleep.

It is not for us to say what were his faults, for the eyes of love and affection can see nothing but perfection in the object of its adoration. In his death we have lost a kind and beloved father, whose example must ever be green in our memory. A. Cowgill”

5 Josephine Cowgill (twin of John) b 18 Jul 1842, d 18 Mar 1912, Toledo, Lucas Co., OH. She alternately taught nearby country schools in Delaware and attended the Ohio Wesleyan Female College; later she spent one year at Baldwin University, Berea, OH, where she was graduated. Under the direction of the Freedmen's Aid Society, Josephine taught for some ten years in New Orleans. Her work as a teacher moved with increasing force in the direction of the evangelistic and mission field, particularly toward that vocation whose workers take no thought for the morrow. Nearly a half century of Josephine's life was thus dedicated to service of the Master. From Freedmen's school Josephine went to Los Angeles, where for about fifteen years, under the auspices of no organization, she did pure faith work. Her religious efforts mainly dealt with individuals, visiting the vicious and criminal, and preaching the gospel to the poor. Then for about five years she lived the life of faith in Palestine, gaining a working acquaintance with speaking a strange and difficult tongue when past sixty years of age. Baptized in the Jordan, working on the ground where the Savior had walked, she went about doing good. A short time after she returned to Los Angeles and resumed her faith work, the call came for her to enter upon a work to which she had looked forward for many years. Africa was pointed out to her as the field for her remaining active years. Accordingly, she went to that far off country; but, owing to failure of health, she had hardly entered upon her work there when it seemed best for her to return to her native land. She did not recover her usual good health. Death came with little warning, but found her ready. (Excerpted from obituary). Bur Oak Grove Cem.

In early life, mainly through his own exertions, he acquired the elements of a sound, practical education, but he continued a student to the end of his long and useful life. During the period of his early manhood he was accounted a superior school teacher and later a more than ordinarily accurate land surveyor. In the latter particular, his record covering a period of more than fifty years, is probably surpassed by few of that time. He was Surveyor of Champaign Co. from 1843 to 1847 inclusive, the only political office he ever aspired to or held. He graduated from the Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1848 with flattering testimonials from his instructors and entered upon the practice of medicine in Champaign County, in which he continued for more than thirty-five years. As a physician he was devoted, conscientious and successful, and possessed in a high degree the confidence of the community and the respect of his professional brethren. Dr. Cowgill wrote many books on medicine and on Quaker theology. He gave the ground and a substantial sum of money for Mt Carmel Church and Cem. In 1973, the Church was still "growing" and the Cemetery was well-kept. Thomas is on a list of Underground Railroad Operators in OH maintained by the Menare Foundation.

John and Catherine were very active in the Society of Friends, both witnessing numerous marriages and performing other services. Their membership was transferred from Nottingham MM to Deer Creek MM (Harford Co., MD), then to Hopewell MM, Frederick Co., VA, 4 Sep 1775, with their two infant daughters. John lived in nearby Berkeley Co., VA (later WV) from 1775 until 1782; in 1782, he leased, and later (1784) bought 300 acres of land in Frederick Co., VA (Frederick Co. Deed Book 20:235, 237 and 24A:221, 478). He later (1801) bought 460 acres, also in Frederick Co., described as being on Opequon Creek, 12 miles NE of the courthouse. John appears on Frederick Co. personal and land tax records through 1813 (land tax until 1817). From tax records, it appears John’s nephew, Henry, lived with him from 1787.

The Battle of Bunker Hill had been fought three months earlier, signaling the start of the Revolutionary War. Quakers who enlisted for military service in Pennsylvania and other nearby states were condemned. Quaker meetings in Virginia, however, were more lenient. On 20 Aug 1776, John Cowgill enlisted for a period of three years in the Virginia Continental Line. He served in the 7th, 11th, and 15th Regiments, was hospitalized at Morristown in the Spring of 1777, was at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-78, and was discharged 20 Aug 1779. There is no record of where John's wife and children lived while he was in service. It is presumed they stayed with John's half-brother, Henry Cowgill, and family, who lived in the area and were also members of the Hopewell Monthly Meeting.

For his war service John received a grant (warrant # 2559) of 100 acres of land in Tiffin Twp, Adams Co., Ohio. He held it about twelve years, then on 16 Jul 1806 sold it to John Hume. Eight years later John and his family moved to Ohio. John and family received a certificate, dated 9-8-1814, from Hopewell MM, VA, to Clear Creek MM, located in Clinton Co., OH. They were received in Clear Creek, MM, 24 Feb 1815. John’s will, dated 12 Mar 1822 and recorded in the Courthouse, Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH, 31 Oct 1822, names all his children (except the three who died young), and names Catherine as executor. He also provided for a grandchild, Catherine Patterson, “one bed, bedsteads and bedding, also one cow koown by the name of Bess, one new woman’s saddle to be bought her by my executor, and $5.00 in money to be given her at age of 18 years. Also one bureau after the decease of her grandmother”. Both bur Newberry Quaker Cem., Clinton Co.

Henry and Mary Ann bur Mt Pleasant Cem., Morrisville, Clinton Co., OH; Susan(a) bur New Vienna I.O.O.F. Cem.

In 1812 Henry and Mary Ann left Berkeley Co., VA, and settled in Washington Twp, near Morrisville, Clinton Co., OH. Henry helped organize the Township. He was always ready to help improve the then new state. Henry and Mary Ann were both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Their home was long used as a preaching place. In 1811, prior to his settlement in Ohio, Henry had purchased a farm there. In 1818, he adorned his farm with a substantial brick residence, the first in Washington Twp. Active in many prominent public improvements and public enterprises, he was very instrumental in organizing and founding Bethel Society. He was considered a man of sterling integrity and uncompromising honor. (See History of Clinton County, Ohio, by W. H. Beers, 1882 - "Biographical Sketches, Washington Township").

1 Priscilla Ann Cowgill b 23 Feb 1811, Berkeley Co., VA, d 8 Mar 1898, Clinton Co., OH, m 27 Oct 1831, Richard S. Cline, son of Ephraim Cline, b Monmouth Co., NJ, 2 Jun 1801, d 1 Feb 1881. Richard went to Ohio between 1825 and 1830 and settled in Green Twp near Snow Hill. There was but a small piece of cleared land on the farm at that time. In 1841 they built a brick house which was still standing in the year 1902 when James Cline, Priscilla's oldest grandson, wrote this biographical sketch, and copied other data from an old Family Bible.

They improved their farm and were enjoying the fruit of their labors until the winter of 1881, when Richard was called away by death, Priscilla remaining on the farm for a few years, then going to live with her daughter Mary at Westboro, until her death.

Priscilla Cline was a great reader, always trying to lay up a treasure that could not be taken from her. She and Richard were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They were loyal to the church all through their lives, and died with faith that all was well. Many things they forgot in their old age, their minds could not grasp the things of this life, but when you would talk with them of the life beyond, then their minds were clear. They seemed to forget the world and cling by faith to the Christ that gave them a hope for the future. They tried to fulfill the purpose of their creation and wanted to make the world better for their having lived in it. Their lives were spent toiling that others might enjoy the fruit from it in the future. (See page 132, Cowgill History, for more on this family)

Both bur St George's Episcopal Church Cem., Glenn Dale, MD.

After his father's death in 1846, Parker's mother Sarah and her two youngest children moved in with her parents, Charles and Margaret Cline, who operated a tavern. Parker was 18-months old. The older three children were placed elsewhere in the community, according to the 1850 census: Thomas J., the oldest, with Dr. Silas H. Johnson, a physician in Highland County; Anna Marie with the Willam L. Dearth family; and Charles as a patient in the Clinton County Infirmary. When Sarah remarried in 1854, Parker went to live with his Aunt Priscilla (Cowgill) Cline. Parker's younger sister, Minerva, remained with her mother. According to Parker, his mother Sarah bore four Campbell children: Eugene, Ella, Arthur and Matty. In his later years, Parker could not remember just when his mother died. She was not listed with her family on the 1860 census.

When the Civil War began, Parker's brother Thomas enlisted. Parker enlisted a year later, 21 Aug 1862, for three years, and was mustered into service 21 Oct 1862 at Frankfort, KY, a Pvt, Co B, 79th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. A bugler, he was captured near Savannah during Sherman's march to the sea. Parker was in Libby Prison at Richmond, VA, when General Lee made his preparations to surrender the city. He was mustered out 19 Jun 1865 at Camp Chase, OH. After the war, Parker again made his home with his Aunt Priscilla. When Thomas married in 1869, Parker went to live with his brother to help him work the farm.

On 28 Jan 1871, Parker married his first cousin (daughter of his father's sister), Sarah Eliza Austin, at Danville, IL. Sarah had attended Xenia Female College in 1866 and Lebanon Normal University at Lebanon, OH, in 1869. Their first child was born in Illinois. With his wife and infant son, Parker drove a covered wagon from Illinois to Nebraska in 1872. The journey took about three weeks and included many of the trials and tribulations of the pioneer days. Parker said they homesteaded near Grand Island, NE, but they are enumerated on the 1880 census of York County, Twp Pt 4 West. The first little girl born to them died and was buried out on the Nebraska prairie.When the Circuit Rider came through, the first Methodist Church was started in the Cowgill home. They gave ground for a schoolhouse, which later was also used for a Church and Community Center. It was known as "Cowgill's School". Sarah Cowgill taught there. Parker taught at a school farther away.

In 1882 they were back in Dayton, OH, for a few years (he is listed as a laborer in the Dayton City Directory for the years 1883 – 1885); they apparently returned to Nebraska in the mid-1880s as Stephen (“S. P.”) is mentioned in an 1890 History of Hamilton Co. (NE) as a charter member and first treasurer of a Masonic Lodge established at Philips, NE, in 1885/1886. Stephen ran for County Clerk in 1886, receiving just one vote! “S. P. Cowgill, another early settler, located upon Section 4, Town 10, Range 8”, described as in the extreme western part of Hamilton Co.; 1890 found them in Fayetteville, AR. They lived in Oklahoma for a short time, then settled for several years in Missouri. By then the oldest son, Benjamin, had become a travelling missionary and was no longer with the family. Parker and his second son, Perry, bought a farm on K Highway in Pottersville, Howell County, MO. When Perry married, Parker and his third son, Eugene, and wife moved first to Sapp, then to Moody, MO. Parker became the Postmaster at nearby Cureall, and Eugene, who had earned his Doctor's degree at Columbia, MO, opened a drugstore and began his medical practice there.

Parker and Sarah next lived for a time in Mobile, AL, and later moved to Seat Pleasant, MD. Sarah died there on 7 Oct 1928. Parker was the first Cowgill in this line to live over one hundred years, out-living all his children. After Sarah's death, Grandpa Parker stayed a while with his son Eugene and family, who had moved to College Park, MD. Later he lived with his son Perry's widow, Mary Lee, at Glenn Dale, MD, after Perry's untimely death in 1931. He died there on 20 Apr 1945.

2 Perry Boggess Cowgill b 17 May 1874, Grand Island, NE, d 3 Mar 1931 (heart attack while riding trolley from MD to DC, death recorded in DC), m 28 Aug 1907, by Rev Turner Proffitt, in her father's house, Pottersville, MO, Mary Lee Bise, b 12 Mar 1890, d 21 Feb 1978, Glenn Dale, MD, dau of Henry A. and Harriet Rowan (Davis) Bise. Both bur St George’s Episcopal Church Cem., Glenn Dale, MD.

The name Boggess, of Perry Boggess Cowgill, is for Enoch Perry Boggess, husband of Mary Elizabeth Austin, sister of Perry's mother (See Austin Genealogy). Records show Perry attended Dayton, OH, public Schools, 1883-1886, and the Arkansas Industrial University, Fayetteville, AR, in 1893. He and his father bought a farm in Pottersville, MO. At Pottersville Perry Cowgill met the girl he was to marry. They lived on the home farm until after their first child was born, then sold the farm and moved to Moody, MO, where their second child was born. Perry decided to give up farming and work for the US Government. His appointments took him and his family to Jackson, MS, Mobile, AL, and on to Washington, DC. Not caring for city living, they moved into the suburbs at Mt Rainier (Brentwood), MD. In 1919, they bought a farm at Glenn Dale, Prince George's Co., MD, where they lived the rest of their lives.

Perry loved music, playing both the violin and the cornet. Wherever he lived he gathered the young men and boys who were interested in music, taught them to play the various instruments, and formed a band. There was one in Pottersville, another - the Sunday School Band - in Mt Rainier, and Cowgill's Band of Glenn Dale. As his children grew he taught each of them to play, the boys an instrument, the girls the piano. After his death, his sons continued to play together until their jobs sent them to far off places. His four older sons and one daughter worked their way through college during the Depression years; one went on to receive his doctorate.

(Compiler of this book). Both bur St George’s Episcopal Church Cem., Glenn Dale, MD.

John was a graduate of Univ of MD, BS in Agriculture. Not 23 years of age when his father died, John took the responsibility, with his mother, of rearing his eight younger brothers and sisters, the older ones helping in any way they could.When he married Eleanora in 1938, John took on the added responsibility of helping her rear the five children she had from previous marriages. Eleanora was then a secretary working for the Administrative Court officials in the Supreme Court Building, DC.

John served 20 years in the US Army. Having enlisted first in the DC National Guard Band in 1938, he was called to active duty for one year in Jan 1941 with the 260th Coast Artillery Band at Ft Bliss, TX. In Sep 1941 he returned to his farm in Montgomery Co., MD. With the attack on Pearl Harbor, he was again called to active duty in Jan 1942, and sent to Ft Lewis, Tacoma, WA. In the ensuing years he served in many posts, including Okinawa and Alaska. Posted to Alaska for two years, 1950-1952, John, Eleanora, and four children, drove up the Alcan Highway, taking seven days, the car loaded with food and other supplies for the trip and new home.Upon his retirement, at Ft Bliss, TX, in April 1961, with rank of Major, John returned to his home in Prince George's Co., MD, for a few years. Then he and Eleanora moved to MO to make their retirement home. He said the urge to return to MO was born in him, as his father had always planned to do so when he retired.
