There are two listings on Ancestry for a James S Cowan as a Confederate Soldier, both of which could be this James. One is from Texas, Twelfth Calvary in 1861. I think the more likely one is from June 24, 1862, Springfield, MO Private, Thirty-sixth Infantry A-E.

James S Cowan married Mary E Patton March 10, 1867, Washington County, Tennessee.

The 1870 post office Humansville, Jackson TS, Polk County, MO Census lists James S Cowan, 33, and wife Mary E, 28, with daughter "Coler M" (Cora), age 1. Mary and Cora were born in Missouri, James in Tennessee. James is a farmer with $2,000 in real estate and $810 in personal property.
