Hi List,
James Mowery/Mowry/Mowre was born 1826 in Kentucky. He died
June 2, 1864 in Rock Island, Illinois (Union soldier--37th Regiment,
Iowa Infantry) and is buried in Davis CO. IA. He married
Margaret Ann Henderson (born 1831 in Decatur CO. Indiana) ca. 1847 in
Iowa (maybe Illinois?).
James and Margaret had children: William, John, Catherine, Amanda, Mary
Lucinda, George, and Martha (b. 1861 in Davis Co. IA d. 1936 in Perry
CO. IL). Family lived in Davis, Van Buren, Wapello, Jefferson, and
Appanoosa
Counties, Iowa from 1850s to today.
Who are Margaret Henderson's parents? Are they an Alexander and Sarah
Henderson? And, who are the parents of James Mowre? There is a John
Mowery listed in the Decatur CO. Indiana federal census in 1830. Did
this John Mowery come from Kentucky???
Thanks,
Nancy Helvey
