I wasn't aware of John Bowen at all, and I have very little on the Bowen family, other than the fact that there are supposedly some McIlhaney's somewhere in the lineage from Ireland (or else they're on the Buchanan side of my bunch - don't recall exactly, but seems like the Bowen's were mixed up with Craigs and McIlhaney's.) So your William Bowen is the son of John Bowen, John Bowen, William Bowen, and Agnes (Bowen) McFerrin-Buchanan then are siblings! Cool! Please keep in touch! thanks your new cousin, Will Smith
