I am just getting started at this. I have been interested for many years, just never pursued it. I live in Missouri. My grandfather's name was Robert A. Cowden. Married to Minnie (Morley) Cowden. Had eight children all of which are passed away except one daughter. My father was the youngest. Hiram Guilford Cowden. Hiram must have been a popular family name. Knew of two just in this area. Please reply.
