Narrative
Note: Abel Cowger
Owing at least in part to his early death, two months before his fortieth birthday, little information has been available for Abel, with the largest portion of history stemming from his entry in the text George and Hannah Hawes Cowger of Pendleton County Virginia / West Virginia (pp38-39). The text's author, Sandra Pope, notes various deeds, tax records, and probate documents as sources of information on Abel's life, in addition to a review of his own account book (from 1842 to 1846) for his work as a blacksmith. He also appears to have performed leatherwork and farmed, and was frequently paid in beef or wheat in addition to cash for his work.
On his death, he was survived by his wife, Phebe, and his four daughters.
