Notes

  • Glenn's last name is sometimes spelled Coward.  This s true also of his sisters Winny Coward and Martha Coward.  Glenn's name was spelled Coward on his marriage license.  Several trees report him as David Glenn Cowart, and his memorial on Find a Grave has David "Glenn" Cowart, indicating that Glenn is only a nickname, but I have been able to find nothing that refers to him by both these given names.  None of the trees I have checked have any documentation for the double name.

    Some genealogies report that Eleanor's middle name was Lena.

    A daughter named Lena is linked to Glenn and Martha Jane on their Find a Grave memorials.  But this Lena does not appear in the 1880 census for this family and all the other chidlren are accounted for.  Further, Lena's birth place is reported as Towns County.  There is no indication that Glenn and Martha lived in Towns County.  The birthday of the Lena in Towns County is reported to be in 1973, while the ages reproted for Eleanor in the censuses makes her birth abotu 1869.
