Notes |
- Descendants of Richard and Elizabeth (Ewen) Talbott of Popular Knowle West River, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, Compiled by Ida Morrison (Murphy) Shirk. Originally published in Baltimore, Maryland, 1927. Reprinted for Clearfield Company, Inc. by Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., Baltimore, Maryland, 1995. - Page 279.
This source gives his name as Arvin, but his gravestone says it is Tarvin.
- This information was in a GEDCOM file sent by Carolyn Carson dated 3/7/2000 (Marshall 0357).
Gravestone was viewed by Nancy Carson and Carolyn Carson on May 27, 1992. We thought that it said "died Feb. 12, 1850, onlly 38 years of his age". However since his birth date was 1842, and the cemetery records state that the last two
digits of the year are hard to read, we assume that the date should be 1880. There was also a tombstone next to his that was for Agnes T. Cowgill. We thought it said wife of Dr. T. W. Cowgill, died Aug 26, 1853, aged 34 years.
The cemetery records that that she was buried w/o W. W., so we apparently misread the stone. We had previously thought that Tarvin Cowgill never married, and if the 1842 birthdate is correct, he would have been only 11 years old when she died at 34. Other small stones buried near Tarvin Cowgill are as follows:
What appears to say "Ella T.", "Edward","Sarah" "In memory of Clarenda Cowgill who dies 6/9/1838, age 7 mo. 4 day". Sarah's stone says, died 11/27/1839 - 1 y, 6 m, 17 d. Alexander, son of H. E. & (E. N.?) Cowgill, born
3/11/1839, died 11/12/1839. Cemetery records show born 5/11/1839.
Other stones nearby say "In memory of Mary, consort of John Cowgill and departed this life 12/18/1839, aged 34 y, 4 m." "Elisha Cowgill", died Sept. 10, 1855, aged
82 y, 6 m, 26 d."
