Daughter of Col. Isaac Cowan and Jane (Seawright) Cowan. Her name is spelled Cowen in her daughter's D.A.R. lineage papers. Some also give her name as Coward or Cowart.
Mother of Samuel Robinson Evans, Jr. and Andrew Jackson Evans.
Southern Historical Research Magazine (1937) by Worth S. Ray, p. 124: "(She) was related to the Cowans of Mecklenburg County, N.C., for whom Cowan's Ford near Charlotte, where Gen. William Lee Davidson was killed during the Revolution, was named."
Some family trees give her death as 1887 while while others say 1774. Sources not stated, but she has not been found on the 1880 census (when she would be 86), so 1774 would appear to be the more likely. However, these may be confusing her with one Anna Cowan (11 Apr 1792 -14 Jun 1874) who married Joseph J. Hawthorne in Abbeville Dist., S.C., and died in Pickens Co., S.C. Anna Cowan Hawthorn clearly was not Mary Ann Cowan Evans, however, as both appear on censuses simultaneously.
