MATILDA A. (MYERS) COWLEY
Matilda was the sixth daughter and eighth child born to Col Andrew & Mary (Lloyd) Myers. Matilda's parents and her six oldest siblings arrived in Wayne County, Indiana in 1830. She was born in Feb 1833. In 1836, when Matilda was 3 years old the family moved again, overland (trip occupying one month), to Mercer county, Illinois.
Matilda married James Cowley on 1/27/1859 in Mercer County. James parents are listed as being born in Kentucky, but does not list their names. His mother's name was Nancy Cardwell and I THINK his father's name may have been James.
