This importation mostlikely happened before January 12, 1687 for on that date, JamesCoward was a witness on a deed for Mary Coolidge. Coward-CowartChronicles by Robert J. Robinson.
James Coward (the immigrant) is recorded in Old Rappahannock Co.VA Order Book (1686-1692) as having been "imported" by one William Colston, along with 35 other immigrants on April 4,1688. Although the name Cowherd is recorded in use in Somerset and Dorset Co. England, during the 17th Century, there is no proof of connection between those families and our James Coward.It is unclear just when the spelling as Cowherd originated, but tradition credits the change to James Cowherd/Coward II. Old Rappahannock VA was formed in 1656. It was extinguished in1692, to become Ricmond and Essex. In 1720 Spotsylvania Co. wasformed from Essex, King and Queen, and King William counties.In 1734 Orange Co. was formed from Spotsylvania, and in 1748Culpeper was formed from Orange Co. In 1792, Madison Co. was formed from Culpeper. The development of the Cowherd familiescentered around Spotsylvania, Orange, Culpeper and MadisonCounties even though there began circa 1790 a westward movementof the family notably to Kentucky, Missouri and Kansas. It has been impossible to construct a definite and authentic record of all the children of James Coward and Mary Collidge. Only those documented in the Virginia Counties of Spotsylvania, and its successor counties of Orange and Culpeper are included. Thechildren listed here may not be entirely correct or given in chronological order.
