Granny this last part Nelson Cowart, I have been in contact with some of his descendants

<CyberLemon> 

MizB, with all my Cowart relations, I am amazed that we have not found a connection

<taby43> 

Anyone with Hakwins/Mize/Steed from St. Clair Co?

<CyberLemon> 

MizB, I bet the connection goes back to the early 1800's with the dozens of brothers

<zapot> 

We have Hawkins from St. Clair

<MizB> 

I can go further back to a James Cowart 1743 born in England
