Trimble, You probably have found this posting on the Boone County Board related to a
Daniel Bowman:

Another Bowman family settled in western Boone County (Jefferson Township) and eastern
Montgomery County (Walnut Township) moving there from Augusta County, Virginia in 1832
with several other families including the Loops and Airharts. Several of their
descendants presently live in the same area. However it doesn't seem this Bowman
group is closely related to the Bowman's you're trying to find. The parents of
this group (Jacob and Nancy Bowman) were originally from Pennsylvania but migrated to the
Augusta County, Virginia area in 1805. All but one of their large family moved with them
to Indiana starting in 1832. These children included Jane (Bowman) Trimble, Henry, Sarah
(Bowman) Bell, John, Joseph, Nancy (Bowman) Airhart, William, George, Christian and
Edward. One son (Jacob) stayed in Virginia.
