The info posted there is from Rex Bowe, who I am related to. The James E. Bowe born in 1832 I was talking about was from Central New York, Otsego County. He was the son of Oliver Bowe and Thursa Eaton. I show a record of James dying May 3 1863 in Salem Church, Virginia (a civil war battle) leaving wife Maria and 3 children. Oliver Bowe is the son of Edward Bowe III and Ruth Hubbard. Edward and Ruth are Rex and my common ancestors. There were apparently two James E. Bowe(s) in New York at about the same time, and mine is not the Irish one. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
