I saw a book in Andalusia, Alabama titled: "The Descendants of 'Our Eliusive' William Daniel by Connie Clifton Anderson 1994, Green Dog Press, Duncanville, Texas On page 109 it gives the following: Thomas "Smiling Tom" Mosley Daniel, born 30 Mar 1849, married (1) abt 1870, Nancy Emmaline BOWDENm born 1 Dec 1845, (daughter of william Bowden and Nancy _____) died 10 Nov 1878, buried Dry Cemetery, Crenshaw County, Alabama. On page 272 it gives the following: Ruth STRINGER, born 13 Mar 1916, married 23 Nov 1935, Curtis BOWDEN, born 6 Apr 1912. Children: 1. Curtis Wagner BOWDEN born 24 Oct 1636, died 26 May 1953 2. Travis Jackson BOWDEN born 16 Aug 1938 Carolyn BOWDEN born 2 Jun 1943 I don't know who these people are, but if you connect to this family, it has your family tree in it on the Daniel line. These were the only two references to the surname BOWDEN.
