Betsy, this is a longshot but you might also check the spelling of
Barrowman. My cousin married in to the Barrowman family who is believed
to have originated in Scotland. I don't know if they were ever in
Indiana but they were Illinois.

I am looking for information on George W. Bowerman who married Nancy
J.
Huff/Emhuff.
In the 1880 census he and Nancy are living in Polk Township, Washington
County, Indiana, and have one son, John R. Bowerman, who was five years old
at the time. I am wondering what happened to George did he pass away after
1880, or get remarried; I am also wondering the same thing about Nancy, did
she pass away after 1880, or did she get remarried. The 1880 census says
George was born about 1825 in Tennessee, and he was about 55 years old.
In the 1870 census, I found a George Broverman, (spelling difference from
1880?), who was about 45 years old, and was living with Frederick Hafely
and his family, and George's occupation at the time was a Farm Hand; they
were living in Polk Township, Washington County, Indiana. In the 1870
census his birth place is listed as Indiana, and he is about 45 years old.
Could this be the same George as the George in the 1880 census?
I found a George Bauerman in the 1860 census living in Silver Creek
Township, Clark County, Indiana. The 1860 census lists is birthplace as
Tennessee, and he is about 25 years old. His birth year is about 1830. He
is living with Patrick Martin and his family. I am not sure if this is the
same George Bauerman that was in the 1880 census with Nancy.
I found George W. Bowerman in the 1860 census living in District 5, in
Blount County, Tennessee. It lists his birthplace as Tennessee, and lists
his birth year as 1830. He was about 30 years old at the time. He is living
with Michael Bowerman and family. I am assuming that Michael Bowerman is
his father.
In 1850, I found a Wright Bowerman, who was about 22 years old, and was
living in District 5, Blount County, Tennessee. It lists his birth year as
1828. He is living with Michael Bowerman and family.
I am wanting to know if George W. Bowerman in the 1860 census, and Wright
Bowerman in the 1850 census are the same person, and also if this is the
same person as in the 1870 and 1880 census?
Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so very, very much!
