Tammie, Sharpsburg is, I believe in Washington County. It was the scene of one of the
bloodiest battles of the Civil War. You might also check Frederick County which is next
door to Washington County. I know that there are Bowers and Domers in Frederick County.

Subject: [MDGEN] Bowers
Hello. I am new to this list and searching for information on the William
Bowers family. My greatgrandfather, William Bowers, was born 21 Aug 1867 in
Sharpsburg, MD, and died 12 Feb 1941 in Harrisburg, PA. He married Caroline
("Carrie") McClintock and they lived in the Harrisburg area. I know the
names of their children and have some information on them.
According to the Census of 1910, William and both his parents were born in
MD. His father was also (supposedly) a William Bowers and his mother
(Mellia?) Domer. This is pretty much the extent of my knowledge of the
Bowers family past my grandfather, Benjamin F. Bowers, who lived all his life
in PA.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Also, what county should I be
researching in for the Sharpsburg area?
Thanks for any help.
Tammie
