I am searching for information on the above Bowdens. They were the male relatives of Sarah, Elizabeth and Nancy Bowden who married Hiram Wright. I believe there was also James Bowden who may have been the father of these siblings. I know the girls were sisters, but not sure what part Colonel and Major Bowden (their given names) were, whether they were brothers or uncles. These Bowdens were in Cumberland County, NC in the early 1800's to at least 1840 when Sarah married Hiram Wright and in 1842 became the parents of Charity Ann Wright, my gggrandmother. Margaret I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free and I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today cause there ain't no doubt I love this land, God Bless AMerica. by L E E G R E E N W O O D _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
