Hi -
I have a little more information on the Bower(s)
line
I'm researching and thought MAYBE it would be
the piece that connects my line to someone
else's out
there.....
I began researching Laura Bower(s) my
g-g-grandmother
with only the record from her 1892 Muncie, IN
wedding
which sadly did not list her parents names.
Then with the great help of a connection in
Muncie who
obtained some documents for me, I was able to
find out her parents names -
Thomas Bower who was born about 1846 in VA and
Anne E (or Mary E...still some confusion about
the
exact name....) who was born about 1847 in VA.
On the 1880 census they are found in Salem Twp
of Delaware Co, IN with 5 daughters - *
Mary who married Cecil Minnick in 1908
Annalaura (my g-g-grandmother) who married
George Maddox in 1892
Alminna "Mintie" who married Frank Cummins in
1889
Alta P "Pearly" who married John Max in 1900
Mattie who married Lefty Runyon in 1901
These Bower girls were all born in IN between
1869 and 1880.
*Thomas also had a brother, William living
with them. William was born about 1849 in VA.
Mary (the mother) died in Delaware Co, IN on
5/30/1913
but was buried in adjoining Henry Co, IN.
Thomas must
have preceded her in death because he is not
listed as
a survivor.
Do any of these names show up in the database of
other
Delaware County researchers? If so, I'd love to
hear
from you!
Thanks and Happy Holidays to you all!
