| | Notes: | Vincent Cowles was a young boy when he moved to Kentucky with his parents. He was the oldest of 3 sons. After arriving from Virginia, his father purchased a large estate in Edmonson County, Kentucky. Vincent married Polly Norris at age 21. Some sources refer to Vincents wife as Patsey King, and suggest the King family migrated to Kentucky with the Cowles. It is possible Vincent was married more that once. Vincent and his wife settled on a farm in nearby Warren County to raise their children. Their children went to school, some into their teenage years, but apparently it was sporadic, since later census records indicate most of their children could not read or write. All of the children became farmers, and some settled close to Vincent and Polly, but most of their children relocated to the Edmonson area, possibly on land which Vincent had inherited from his father. Vincents wife passed away around the age of 60. Vincent still had several unmarried children in their 20s living at home, and he was also raising several grandchildren. By the time he reached his 80s, Vincent had moved in with the family of his youngest son. His exact date of death is unknown, but he was last located at age 83 in the Bristow area of Warren County.

Due to information and census reports I believe they were the same person. Also Id like to say it is still possible that there was a Pansley King Cowles but I think it is about a 5% chance of that. In Warren County Marriage Register Mary Norris is listed as Patsey Norris. Speculation: Mary Norris full name was Mary Patsey King Norris. Some people think that Patsey or Pansley whatever you want to call her that she was married to a King before Vincent but I dont believe this happened. Vincent and Patsey were married according to the Warren Co. Marriage Register. They were around the age of 21. Their son my 2nd great grandfather James was born in 1825 they were around the age of 33. According to a 1850 cenus they were still married being at the age of 58. Some problems though if I read it correctly Mary P. was born in TN. I read in a census report that said his (James N.) mother was born in VA.??? ?? Maybe Marys mother was a King or something and they named her that. The Cowles Families in America might have wrote the wrong name down. Debbie Gravens grandaughter of William Arthur and Mae Cowles interviewed her grandmother Mae she gave what she had by memory had said that Vincent D.s wife was Pansley King. This is a mystery to me. | | Individual Notes: | Letter: Lilly Mae Cowles to Eunice Mae MillsEstes Title: Lilly Mae Cowles, Letter from Mae Cowles to Eunice Mae Mills Estes.
