Hi All! Summer cooking up out there!! My name is Steve Campbell. . Have you ever come across a RACHEL BOWSER(BOUSER) in you searching?? She is one of my Mystery Women!! From family records she was born "IN PA",October 27, 1821. She next shows up in Dubuque, Iowa marrying ANSON BIGGS, in 1853, I have a copy of the Marriage license. Name spelled BOUSER, on the license. On the 1860 Iowa census she is living in Rockford, Iowa, age "35". On the 1870 Iowa census she is " " age 43. On the 1880 Iowa Census she is " " age 57. I did find a Rachel Bowser on the PA. 1850 census living in Bedford Twp, PA, age is 25, living with the GEORGE SHUCK? household. This one and the 1860 census are the only two where her age actually matches, so I am "assuming"!! this is my Rachel. Any idea, on where to find her parents? etc?? I have a copy of the Bowser Family History. NONE of the Rachel's listed in the book match my Rachel. I was at the Historical center in Bedford, PA, and found NOTHING!! on a Rachel. I have checked at the State records, and of course NO death Certificate. She died June 12, 1892, in Rockford, Iowa. Anyway, if you ever hear of a Rachel, keep me in mind. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. Bye for now, Steve and Tricia
