I'm searching for my father-in-law's family in VA & KY and would
appreciate any information you might be able to share or leads you might
be able to give me to "nail down" the connection between these families.
Thank you kindly for any information you might be able to send my way.

Willis COWHERD (b. 1779 in VA) married Jane NALL/NALLE (b. 1786 in
Culpeper Co, VA) in 1803 in KY. They had several children (James M.,
Harriett, William Harrison, Ezekiel H., Emma, Anne E., Lucy, Martha are
all confirmed. Another, Nancy, b. 1828, is still to be confirmed.)
Willis and Jane lived in Hardin Co. KY in 1824-1828 where at least one
of their daughters was married.

The unconfirmed daughter, Nancy (which may be a nickname for Emma or
Anne) married Tunis VANDERVEER/VANDEVER EGGEN before 1852 and had at
least three children (John Parker, b. 1852; Sarah Alice, b. 1859; and
Laura A., b. 1862). ..Cheryl in TX.. ()
