From Gowen Manuscript:  http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gowenrf/Gowenms094.htm

About 1773, the inhabitants of the northern part of Orange County petitioned the North Carolina House of Burgesses to partition off their area as a separate county, according to “Colonial Records of North Carolina.” The petition was granted in 1777 with the creation of Caswell County. In 1791 Caswell County was divided to create Person County. Their petition read:

“To His Excellency Josiah Martin, Esquire, Captain General, Governor in and over the Province of No. Carolina, the Honorable Council and Gentlemen of the House of Burgesses:

The Petition of the North Part of Orange County Humbly Sheweth that whereas by the large Extent of the County, it renders it very Burdensome to attend Courts, General Musters etc, We pray that a line Be­ginning where Granville County line corners on the Virga. line, then Running South with Granville County line 25 miles, then west to Guilford line, then with Guilford line North to the Virginia line, then sd. line East to the first station. And your Petitioners as in Duty Bound shall ever pray.”

Among the 148 men who signed the 1773 petition were the signatures of Alexander Gowen, John Gowen, Daniel Gowen, Emas Gowen and Alexander Gowen, Sr.

Nancy Powell Gowan was enumerated as the head of a household in the 1840 census of Simpson County, page 219.

The family was enumerated as:

“Gowin, Nancy white female 20-30
white male 15-20
white male 10-15
white male 10-15
white male 5-10
white male 5-10
white female 0-5
white female 50-60”

The “white female 50-60” is probably Patience Powell, the mother of Nancy Powell Gowan

When Meredith Gowan came calling on Nancy Powell, her family disapproved. When he asked for her hand in marriage, James and patience were appalled…she was only 14! But true love won out, and they were married in 1825 in North Carolina. Shortly afterward, Meredith Gowan announced plans to move to Mississippi…more consternation for the Powells.

By 1830, Meredith Gowan had moved his family to Copiah County, Mississippi where they were enumerated in the 1830 census. Nancy Powell Gowen was listed as the mother of five and still had not reached her 20th birthday!

Meredith Gowan died there in March 1838, according to Phillip Alan Gowan of Nashville, and Nancy Powell Gowan became the head of a household of eight people…at the age of 27! She died in Simpson County, Mississippi in 1855 at the age of 44.

Children born to Meredith Gowan and Nancy Powell Gowan include:

John C. Gowan born about 1828
Ann Gowan born about 1830
Ebenezer Jahue Gowan born about 1833
Henry Gowan born about 1834
Thomas Robert Gowan born about 1836

Nancy Powell Gowan completed her role as executrix of the estate of Meredith Gowan in 1848 in Simpson County, Mississippi. A study of her file in Drawer 95, Case 4014, Simpson County records might reveal more genealogical data. She died there in 1855.
