The Bowes (and variants like Bowe) One-Name Study has an active Irish Bowe contingent (many of them took the name Bowes). We have descendants of your line involved, one who descends from Thomas and Judith Bowes Grogan, and another handful who descend from Judith and Michael's brother John, who married Mary Murphy and also went to Perry Co. Some of John's descendants then went on to Kansas. According to one of their family files, the father was Laurence Bowe, b. 1770. He had four siblings. I have more. In this file your Michael is listed among his siblings as: "Michael Bowes was born in 1814 in Ireland and died on 28 Dec 1854 in Perry County, OH at age 40." We have a spreadsheet going of up to 2000 Irish Bowe records so far. Margaret is the only sibling of Michael whose baptism shows in the parish records. If you can, join us at Facebook and post your interest to the wall there. You'll meet a good number of other Irish Bowe! https://www.facebook.com/bowesonenamestudy I'll add you to my contacts database in this family's group.
