The last person I have found who is a 3 great grandfather, is Christian Bowers of Berkely, W. Virginia (Oct 1805-May 1870). Married to Hannah Carney of Bedford, Virginia (m: 10 Oct 1828). DOES ANYONE KNOW OF THIS CHRISTIAN'S PARENTS? CAN WE SEND GEDCOM files on this website? CAN WE DOWNLOAD our Genealogy Charts on this website? Candy Thoreson

Hi there all you Bowerses! I've run up against a stumbling block in the family tree at my great Grandfather, Josiah R Bowers. Census listing shows that he was born in 1862 in New Jersey, then moved to Kansas, where lots of US are located. Any info would be a great help.

Thanks! Jim

Thought this might be of interest to someone. Found this article in an old copy of the Australian Post, April, 1985:
Tragic Destiny:
In the early 1800s the Bowers family were catapulted towards a tragic destiny when first, husband and wife were hanged in England, and 14 years later their three sons, found guilty of attempted robbery, ended their lives on the end of the hangmans' noose.

That's all there was, so don't ask me who or where - I don't know.

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend with her family history and haven't much to go on, so if there's anyone that can help, we would be very grateful:
Mathew Bower (farmer) married to Elizabeth Hall - son Peter Charles Bower b.circa. 1867, Castlepollard, Westmeath, Ire. Peter C. Bower emigrated to New Zealand and married Bridget Lane, 4 April, 1899 in Timaru, Sth Canterbury, NZ. Thomas was another family name. We are interested in any Bower family in Castlepollard or elsewhere, that might be related to this family. Thankyou. Hannah. N.Z.

I am the grand daughter of Dacil Bowers and daughter of Dacil Bowers jr. from Alabama. I have been able to trace my family back to my great grand father Tom Bowers and then to my great great grand father Dave Bowers who is buried in oak hillcrest Johnson city tenn. That is where I get lost. I found a Herman J Bowers in oak hillcrest but don't know if related to Dave.

If anyone can help me get past this point I would greatly appreciated it.
Thanks

My grandmother, Maude Anna Wilson Brown, was supposedly the great or great great granddaughter of William Bowers and Polly Cox Bowers of Georgia. I am looking for her parents and/or grandparents. My grandmother was married to John B. Brown and lived and is buried in Hart County, GA.

Hello, I am trying to find any information from any Bowers in the Portsmouth UK area. Does anyone recognize the name Henry Bowers, I was told that he at one time chopped down a neighbours front door with an axe. He married a woman named Edith. He would have had 4 sons Ronald, Alfred, Terry and Brian also a daughter Sylvia. Thank you to all who read this. Denise Bowers

My great-great-grandfather Jacob Bowers and wife Anna Marie Eglouf/Aglouf emigrated to the Maryland/Pennsylvania area (Haggerstown?) about 1840. They could have been born in Alsace-Lorraine. Their youngest son was David William (great-grandfather) and HIS son was Fredrick Frances (grandfather). My research so far stops with Jacob and Anna Marie. Does anyone have any information on these people?

Hi all. I am just starting out researching my DH's maternal side. His grandmother is Hazel Bower (no s, but she knows there are/were s's) and I cannot get any info from her and what I have is temporarily MIA. It is difficult to get info from family when they don't care about their ancestors.

I know she was born c 1915, Shamokin, PA and her father died in a coal mining accident. She was about 14-16 years old when that happened. So it would have happened in the late 20's I think or around there.

I am seeking the family history for Robert W. Bowers, son of Chancellor Bowers (1825- abt 1866). I am stuck and cant discern the parents of Chancellor Bowers. Chancellor Bowers married Rebecca Summers in 1849 in Page County, Virginia. Anyone know the lineage??

Looking for any of the following people. Lived in upstate NY Sodus, Williamson, Ontario area early to mid 70's then moved to Loveland Colorado where family split apart. I currently reside back in upstate NY have no idea where anyone else is except Matthew. My Name is Marty Baker or should I say " Doug Bowers" Just looking to reunite with family catch up on a lot of missed times. Can anyone help?

my romany grandfather was Frederick Bowers who sadly passed away in August 2007 after only knowing him since november 2006 after he had parted from my grandmother some 40 years ago and had'nt been seen or heard of until november 2006. i do know that he was born in Dudley near Birmingham and also had lived in nine mile ride wokingham. the people i am looking for information about is his father Walter Bowers who was born litchmere common, Hampshire and married Rose Maria Bennett in 1919 in Top Church, Dudley.

That's right. If there's any other Bowers in the area then we oughtta get together and chat for an hour as we devour a tower of my wife's famous fried chicken (unless you like it sweet and sour).

Ah, if only.

But times are dour for this poor Bowers, as I'm no longer with power, there's nothing to eat but a bag of flour and sh@# has most certainly gone sour as we cower beneath God's glower, hoping we'll soon find better shelter than the crummy gift shop at Cabot Tower.
