History is an awesome thing; it can provide additional meaning to activities, events, behaviors, etc. So, I suggest you look at what was happening in the society between GA and FL at that time your ancestor changed his surname; there may be clues there. Be aware that the "Bourne" name is of French origin, and "Bowen" is of Irish/GB origin. For examp: Irish immigrants and their descendants were poorly treated a "white trash" during an unfortunate period of American history. Their persecution varied across different states/colonies, and even areas within states. Also, there was a time when Great Britain (which included Ireland) was supportive of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, and although they never officially recognized the CSA there was hope on the part of many Southerners that they would; meanwhile, France had historically been a supporter of the USA since its independence, and they, too, never officially recognized the CSA. Could this have something to do with what may have been happening at the time your ancestor changed his surname, perhaps in combination with something associated with his move to FL? There are likely many other scenarios like this one, but it will require some study of the recorded history viewed from many aspects for that specific time. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Keating <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2018 7:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [BOWEN] Re: BOWEN Digest, Vol 11, Issue 4 I discovered a few years ago that MY GGF, Wright Bowen, changed his name from Bourne, son of my GGGF Abner Bennett Bourne, when he moved from Georgia to Florida for some reason.

Shelly, How do we see the photos you are referring to? I am new to the rootsweb lists and not sure how they work. Thank you, Kim

I've "rescued" a group of old photographs of young ladies who I believe may have all lived in Black Diamond, WA at the time. I've included the list of photographs along with some additional information I was able to gather regarding those in the photographs. The first is a group photograph including: Jennie (I believe TURNBULL); Liz SPAIGHT; Bella FINN; Lil HUTCHINSON; Maggie EVANS; Edith BOWEN; Edith JONES; Annie HANSON; Agnes ( I believe TURNBULL); Mamie EVANS; and Mary J. THOMAS The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with the ladies all appearing to be in their teens or 20's. I believe that Bella FINN is Isabella M. DAVIES FINN b. 2 Aug 1873 the daughter of D. B. and Martha J. DAVIES and wife of W. C. FINN. Bella died 20 Feb 1895 and is buried in the Black Diamond Cemetery. Elizabeth A. "Liz" GIBBON SPAIGHT was b. 27 Jul 1871 in Yorktown, PA to parents David GIBBON and Mary LEWIS. Liz was one of 6 children born to this couple including, William David; Margaret; John; Elizabeth Ann "Liz" or "Lizzie"; David Jr.; and Mary Jane GIBBON, all born between 1862 and 1880. Liz married Thomas G. SPAIGHT with whom she had 4 children including, Helen, Margaret, Thomas Jr., and Samuel SPAIGHT all born between 1895 and 1906. Her husband died in 1926 and Liz and the children moved to Green River, WA. Liz died 22 Mar 1960 in Black Diamond or Seattle, WA and is also buried in the Black Diamond Cemetery. Edith L. BOWEN was living with her husband Joseph H. BOWEN in Black Diamond during the 1910 census along with children Margaret L. and Joseph E. BOWEN. Mary J. THOMAS was b. Dec 1870 and was living in Black Diamond during the 1900 census along with her Mother Elizabeth THOMAS and siblings William, Elizabeth, Maggie, Alice, and Evan THOMAS. Maggie A. EVANS was b. 1879 and married twice, first to Charles W. CAREY (1876-1918) and second to Frank A. YOUNG (1884-1962). Maggie had three children including, Hannah Jane CAREY LEWIS; George CAREY; and Maxine Marie YOUNG FINNEY, all born between 1896 and 1923. Maggie died in 1964 and is buried in the Hillside Cemetery in Issaquah, WA. The 2nd photograph is one of Gladys JONES STEELE which was taken at the Boyd Studio in Seattle, WA in the 1890's. Gladys appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time. Gladys JONES married James STEELE and together they had a son, James Harry STEELE b. 1904 and died in Renton, WA on 7 Jul 1944 and a daughter Winifred Evelyn STEELE WOODLEY b. 1908 and died in Renton, WA on 10 Aug 1959 The 3rd photograph is one of Selma HANSEN; Mella ALDERSON; and Gladys STEELE and a fourth unnamed woman, also taken at the Boyd Studio in Seattle, WA in the 1890's. The ladies all appear to be in their teens at the time. The 4th photograph is identified as Annie HANSON or HANSEN (name is spelled in two different ways on the back of the photograph) taken at the Boyd Studio in Seattle, WA in the early 1900's. Annie is likely in her 20's at the time the photograph was taken. I know that the TURNBULL girls were from Black Diamond and I'm guessing the entire group was as well. I'm hoping to be able to return the photographs to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of one of these families, or you know someone who might be related. Thanks, Shelley

I am getting lots of spam of late as well - the only messages on some lists! Ancestry.com took over Rootsweb a while back and not sure if lists managed differently or not. While I am writing a message, I am looking for the parents of Jame sBowen b. VA (probably Culpeper or Fauquier Counties, VA) about 1790. Some family lore lists his parents as John Bowen & Mary or Margaret Marshall but I can find no documentation....he married Ann Foushee in Culpeper C in 1815. ===== Kathleen Bowen Simons Lorton, Virginia On Sat, Aug 13, 2016 at 7:42 AM, Merri Vinton <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there something that can be done about the spam that has infested > numerous lists?

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Eliza WILSON ORCUTT which was taken at the Spencer Studio in Malone, NY. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with Eliza appearing to be in her 40's or 50's at the time. In addition to her name, someone has written "Mac's and Hope's Grandmother ORCUTT" and "also Mayfred and Manfred's Grandmother". Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding this family: Eliza G. WILSON ORCUTT was b. in Aug 1847 or 1850 in Bangor, NY to parents Elijah WILSON Sr. (1812-1889) and Abigail BOWEN or BOURN (1818-1899). Eliza was one of 10 children born to this couple including, Clarissa Betsey WILSON CONGER (1837-1906); Sarah I. WILSON DUSTIN (1841-1921); Isaac WILSON (b. 1843); Elijah WILSON Jr. (b. 1845); Eliza G. WILSON ORCUTT (1847-1904); Eveline WILSON (b. 1849); Sophrona WILSON (b. 1850); Susan A. WILSON (1852-1924); Ellen R. WILSON FRENCH (1856-1921); and Francis C. WILSON (1860-1908). Eliza married Benjamin L. ORCUTT (1842-1920) and they had four children including, Fred, Harry B. (living in San Jose, CA when she died), Josie, and Susie ORCUTT. All but Harry were living with their parents when Eliza died 30 Jul 1904 in Dickinson Center, NY. Eliza is buried in the Ives Cemetery in Dickinson Center, NY. Her son Harry B. ORCUTT was b. 1877, and his son Malcom ORCUTT was b. 22 May 1906 and was living in Dickinson, NY in 1990 and in Brushton, NY in 1997.

Hi June! I am not sure if this tree you are referencing is by the Ken Bowen who had a BOWEN web site and passed away a few years ago. Your links are for a Rootsweb site for kenbowen. Since you connect to Rebecca Nethers, we are cousins! Her parents are my 3G-grandparents; I descend from her brother, Arnold. Arnold's daughter, Savilla is my ggrandmother. Jenkins (but not through my own research, so not proven). Since Savilla Nethers married James William Bowen, that's an easy Nethers-Bowen connection; how do you connect to the BOWENs?

Seeking information on my aunt, one Juanita Lee Bowen, born in Wilmington , Delaware on 13 Dec 1940. Her father was Roland Bowen. Her mother was Mary Hanna. Juanita was voluntarily placed with the State of Delaware foster care system when she was just a few months old. I was told she died in a car accident as a teenager in Wilmington. I can find no records to confirm or deny this! None! I wonder if she was adopted!?! Could she be alive? Can anyone help solve this mystery? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have looked at some S.C. Bowens, particularly around Spartanburg, but have not been able to find a connection to my TN Bowens. The earliest Bowen I have solid info on in my family is a Wlliam Rich Bowen who was apparently born in 1859 in Huntland, Franklin County, TN. All I have earlier than him is speculative. _____________ Rik Rasmussen On Sat, Dec 28, 2013 at 1:42 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > My great-grandmother was Lydia Marthe Bowen (Minnie) B: 29-5-1862 South > Carolina. > Maybe we connect. > Juliette. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message >
