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.
