I am searching for the parents and or siblings of Major Bowden who signed for the bastard bond for my ggggrndfather I think it was to be married. My ggggrandfather married 3 of the Bowden girls, one of them was my ggggrandmother. I think she was the first wife. Do not know what happened to any of them after that. I know Hiram Wright joined the home guard in Cumberland County, and that his daughter married Edward R Newell. Hiram Wright was my ggggrandfather.
