Mary Jane and James had 11 children. In 1874, when the two oldest children were small, this family moved to Texas, going with a wagon train - 60 wagons in all.
R. A. Day and wife, Jane Jameson, daughter of a schoolmaster, were among the caravan. While passing through Indian Territory, the wagons were drawn into a circle every time they made camp and they kept the stock in the center space, to prevent them being driven off by Indians.
While crossing Red River, which was high, the quicksand sucked at the wagons and teams frighteningly. James Cowan's team got in slightly below the regular ford and while the team struggled in the quicksand and against the swift current, the wagon tongue broke. One man had already reached the Texas side, got on a horse and rode into the stream to take Jane and the children out. James Cowan got out into the water, wired up the broken tongue and finally got his wagon and team out safely. The Cowans and Days stayed in Texas only a few years.
