This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bowen, Buchanan, Steele Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EU.2ADI/433.433 Message Board Post: Is this William Bowen born 1768 the same one who built the house near Goodlettsville in 1787 which still stands in Moss-Wright Park? If so, this William Bowen is the brother of my 7th great grandmother, Agnes (Bowen) McFerrin-Buchanan, wife of Archibald Buchanan. Agnes would have been born, however, about 1740, since she married Archibald about 1762 in Augusta County, VA after the death of her first husband, James McFerrin, ancestor of the famous Methodist ministers by that name. William Bowen's grandson was Tennessee Governor William Bowen Campbell (1851-1853), a close friend of President Andrew Johnson. I descend from Agnes (Bowen) McFerrin Buchanan through her daughter, Martha Buchanan who married Andrew Steele in Virginia about 1780 or 1781. Thanks Will
