Posted on: Drew Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Drew/129 Surname: Bowden, Hartness, Donaldson ------------------------- I would like anyone who is working on the Bowdens of Drew County, around Collins, to please get in touch with me. I am especially interested in Jesse Bowden who probably was a brother of Reese Bowden. Jesse had four wives that I have: Katherine ?, Martha Ann Wiley (sister to Nancy Wiley, a wife of Reese), Louisa Donaldson, Sally Donaldson (sister of Louisa). In the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Bartholomew Township, Drew Co, there were Welch children listed. What connection could Welch be to Jesse Bowden, perhaps they belonged to a wife from a previous marriage? Peggy Carey, [email protected]
