Notes
a. Note:   Source: Rush Co., Indiana Marriage Records, Book 3, p3: section 1830-1833; 1850 U.S. census Dist #13 Wapello Co., Iowa By 1843 both of Jonathan's parents were dead (Rush Co., Indiana) leaving 7 minor children. Jonathan became guardian of several children and it's suggested that he "upped" his age to appear as their parent. One Cowger descendant thinks he added 10 years to his age and he was actually born in 1804.
