Elijah Cowan b. ca 1800 NC d. ??? Louisiana

Pet peeve brickwall ancestor! According to census records, Elijah was born ca 1800 in NC, but I first find him in Henry Co, GA in 1830 & in 1840. By 1850 he is in Louisiana with a wife named Sarah A. Both he & she are mysteries! Always looking for help/cousins from this line!

Incidentally, Elijah is NOT one of the "7 brothers" or the "4 brothers" oft-discussed in Cowan genealogies. Elijah is one of a very small group of Haplotype R1a Cowans who all match each other but can't find our common ancestors (Elijah was the inspiration for the whole R1a project at FTDNA!).
