Note: There is a question if Austin or Anson were sons of Amos & Louisa McGowen, and also a question as to whether Austin / Anson were indeed the same person. In the 1870 division of the estate of their mother, Louisa McGowen, two of the heirs Jesse McGowen and James W. McGowen paid $100 to their brothers and sisters for their mother's 40 acre farm in Webster Co., MO. Their siblings and their spouses are: Bartlett & Madecy Gentry, Morgan Ross & Manervy McGowen, Russell G. & Elizabeth Jones, Morgan Sylvester & Martha McGowen, Cornelius B. & Celia Lynch, Charity Mahan (husband Robert Samuel Mahan deceased, Sterling P. and Frances Hughes and Robert & Mary M. McGowen. If Austin/Anson were descendants of Amos & Louisa McGowan, they would have been included also. If they were deceased but had living offsprings, they would also have been heirs. Bethany (McGowen) Gentry, daughter of Austin McGowen, was not included as a heir.
