My name is Willa Bowen Hensley. My great great grandfather was Charles Bowen. He was a brother to Luticia. Charles came to Carter County, Kentucky. I have some information and would love to share with you. Right now my husband and I are going on vacation for a few days, but when we return, I will let you know so we can exchange info. Are you on facebook? If so, friend me, Willa Bowen Hensley, and maybe we can talk a bit. I won't have family info with me but we can chat. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am wondering if there is a way to keep repeating messages over and over. It is cumbersome and discourages (at least me) to hunt through them too find new messages. I do have a 2nd great grandfather  Revolutionary soldier from New York,  William Bowen and I would think of posting on his regard but the length of the messages  discourages me. Elizabeth Sloane

Hello Everyone, My Bowen Ancestors came from Wales. As far as I have been able to determine, It starts with Moses Bowen, who was said to be the son of Evan Ap Owen, born in 1674 in Carmarthin, Wales and his wife, Rebecca Reese, daughter of Hugh Reese. She was born in 1676 also in Wales. Moses and Rebecca were married in 1703. Their son, John Bowen b in Chester County, PA in 1705 married Lillian McIlhaney before 1730.

We are still hunting parents, siblings, birthplace for my g3grandfather. His wife was Sarah Mocroft (Moorcroft?)(1804-1881). He emigrated to America in 1846. Entered at New Orleans and settled in Neponset Ill -- cabin they lived in is one of oldest buildings in Ill and is still standing I think. Children Hannah, William, John, Mary, George, Sarah. William was in Andersonville prison in Civil War. My line is through William. Art Bowen, Hurley, NY

BOWEN-BOGGS I am descended from Luticia BOWEN b. 1807 Greenbrier, VA & Hamilton BOGGS b. ca 1800 Greenbrier, VA who were 1st cousins. Luticia was the dau of Anthony BOWEN, Jr & Mary "Polly" MANN and Hamilton was the son of an Andrew Elliott BOGGS & Hannah BOWEN. Anthony, Jr & Hannah were bro/sister....children of Anthony, Sr & Alice HAMILTON. (To further confuse the tree, another Andrew Elliott Boggs married Hannah's sister Suzannah Bowen.) Some of these families went to Ohio and later MO, IL, NE. My BOGGS/BOWEN line ended up in Nebraska where my grandfather, August Valentine Boggs, was born in 1873. The big question has always been---where did the name "Valentine" come from? Was it a BOWEN name? Was it a BOGGS name? Merri

Would like to find out the parents and siblings of William S. Bowen, born in 2/14/1818 in either New York or Pennsylvania. He married Orra Carter in Wisconsin. They had three children, William 1858 in Saxville, Wisconsin, Estella 1861 in Washera Co. Wisconsin and Farmer 1866 in Poy Sippi, Wisconsin. They had a land deed in Washera Co., Wisconsin in 5/30/1859. They came west to Washington Territory in 1873 and took up a homestead. William S. Died in 3/12/1880. William S. is my ggrandfather and would very much like to find his family. Pat Higley

Seeking information/connections to this family. John Bowen and Jane Turner were both b. NS (US Census records). Two daughters: a.. Jennie, b. 1863, New Glasgow, Pictou Co, NS (REF: Ltr to dau. from Town Clerk requesting info on Birth Record saying info not kept in that timeframe, ~ 1930) b.. Annie, b. ~ 1850, NS; d. 1899, Reading, Middlesex, MA. In 1880 Census, Jennie (23; no ages don't match; they don't in any 2 records) w/husband Henry TUCKER, son Henry, 1 yr; Dorchester, MA. Year of immigration smudged (1867? per??); sister Annie C. Bowen, bar help in saloon, Lynn, MA. Jennie/Henry married in 1878, when she was 23, he 35; but I believe she was 14 and pregnant; and KNOW he was 39. Have much info on TUCKER family and all the children to present (w/exception of children under 15), and two folks I can't find (taken by state). I am in communication w/a number of my 2nd, 3rd cousins; a few are interested in the genealogy; no one else has done research on this line. 1900 -- Jennie & Henry and many children (all named for his side of family, except for daughter Annie E.), living in Reading, MA. I know where Jennie & Henry Tucker/family members were in 1910, 1920, 1930 (he d. 1906); diff. locations in MA -- Malden, Everett, Cambridge; they and sev. children and Jennie's sister Annie C. bur. Reading, MA. WHAT I’VE DONE: (starting perhaps in 1992/3, so it’s not a new “brick wall”) a.. Looked for John and Jane Bowen in 1870, 1880, 1900 US Census (no clear cxn) b.. Looked for a John Bowen, b. 1840-1870-ish w/parents both b. NS living in MA (that could have been a brother); no clear cxn c.. Passenger records for John Bowen in 1860-1878 time period (B-400 is HUGE Soundex code; no clear cxn) (back in days of MF readers at NARA); several times d.. Looked (twice) (rented films) for John Bowen in 1851, 1861, 1871 Census, Pictou Co.; however, a majority of residents appear to be Scots Presbyterians e.. Obviously after Ancestry came online tried various online searches f.. Records are not extant in Pictou Co. in this time period g.. Identified another Bowen family in this area and communicated; no clear connection h.. Communicated with 4-5 others seeking Bowens in this area (over the years) w/cxn to Boston area; helped 1 find her ancestors; ID’d that woman I found in New Glasgow was related to 2 of the 5 I’d communicated with, but not to me i.. Looked for John Bowen in Boston C. Directories in 1876-1879 time period (when Jennie/Henry would have met; Henry was living there on Hanover St.) There were 4-6 men of this name, none particularly near where Henry lived; however there was a Chas. Bowen on Hanover St. (how did they meet?; I mean ... the baby was born 7 mo. after the marriage, so they had to have been close by!) j.. Dau. Jennie and Henry Tucker m. Stoneham, MA (?) why? There was no cxn to this town other than the marriage; Henry had a good, established job in Boston (customs officer/tax collector at time when 1/4 of $$ coming into the US came through the port of Boston) (perh. bec. she was pregnant?) k.. ONE record showed John Bowen, b. NY; not helpful; found some in central NY, but ... this disagreed with the other Census records; no clear clues l.. Posted queries at Genealogy.com; Rootsweb.com (years and years ago; and at various intervals since) – “My mysterious Bowens” both by BOWEN surname and on a Pictou Co. list. m.. Considered that they were illiterate and that the name may have been “BONE” – there are people of this name in Pictou Co., but John and Jane are both such common names n.. Tried to find Jane Turner; only one clearly found is in the Halifax area; to me this just means that there are records for this town; there could have been hundreds of Turner families; records just were not taken generally in much of NS o.. Annie C. Bowen, sister to Jennie – there is NO Death Certificate; just an index card in the town file and a record of her burial at the cemetery p.. Rented films w/early church records of New Glasgow and histories of New Glasgow; page by page searches; no clues q.. Considered that perhaps the BOWENS came from Berkshire Co., MA; where Henry TUCKER, Jennie’s husband was b. 1839. Many Bowens in the area; no clear cxn; (Loyalist perhaps?) Any thoughts welcomed.

Newly rejoined list, and thanksgiving is over, but Easter is here! I would very much like to ask my mysterious John BOWEN and Jane TURNER to dinner. They might have been born 1820-1830s, she in NS, he in NS (or perhaps NY). They kindly gave birth to my GG GM, Jane ("Jennie) Bowen, perh. 1853 to 1863 in New Glasgow, Pictou Co, NS, and her sister Annie. I would like to ask them to please stay, visit, and tell me about their lives in Nova Scotia -- how did they happen to be there, come there? What were their parents and grandparents names (since this was before NS kept records) and what were their customs, jobs, lifestyles like? Who were their siblings? What brought these families to NS originally? Did they come directly from England or Scotland or ??? Were they of Loyalists? What church did they attend? Why did they choose to leave NS (sometime in the 1870s) and come to Boston? And how and when? Were they somewhere else in between? Did they have children other than Jennie and Annie? And if so, what happened to them? [As it appears that at least the daughters were here by 1878, 1880 (Census, MC).] And, how did this family come to meet Henry Raymond TUCKER, who married Jennie in Stoneham, MA (a good 20 miles N of where they were later found) in a Congregational Church (his known background), recorded as she 23, he 35 (but I think she was 14 and know he was 39!), and 2 months pregnant. He was a respected, educated man, working as a tax collector/assessor in the Boston Customs House, so what was he doing running around w/a mere child? John and Jan were more likely his age! But, that wouldn't be proper table conversation now would it? Where did daughter Jennie get her love of fancy clothes and HATS! There were hats, BIG hats in pictures. Were John and Jane and their siblings healthy? If so, then why did all nine of Jennie and Henry's children have major life-threating health issues? (Heart disease, pernicious anemia, depression/suicide, dementia (before 30), loss of lung (at 30), blindness, early childhood deaths (at least 2 children), daughter who gave up son after 1st marriage to have 3 more marriages?. Were the Bowens Scotish in heritage? Was this even their name? Could they read and write? Was their name instead perhaps Bone or Bain? Jennie (the daughter) had very good farming skills, and raised chickens and goats, of course when the children found out that their pet goat was served on the table for dinner, no one would eat it .... Does this mean that Jane Turner was brought up on a farm? Oh, John and Jane ... I'd so like to meet you! I've wondered about you for years!

Hi Helly: I've just joined this list, and am not sure how active it is. You're such a good person to rescue this photo! No Bowen cxn re your message, however, I have very early roots (ARNOLD, CARPENTER, RHODES, GREEN, GORTON, OLNEY, SMITH, LIPPITT) in Providence/Cranston/Warwick, RI. My first thought it that the best "home" for this photo might be the wonderful Rhode Island Historical Society in Providence. www.rihs.org/ There more people would be able to see this wonderful treasure that you've found and saved for others. They have a wonderful genealogical collection, which includes old deeds, wills, genealogies, etc. (I found the ORIGINAL will, complete with waxed seal dated 1699 from an Arnold ancestor in the files!!! I mean a 300 year old document in my hands????) (I've been to the RIHS a few times, I'm unfortunately 500 miles away ...) This Henry is likely a descendant of Christopher LIPPITT -- early settlers of Providence and their farm is still standing in the western section of Cranston. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Lippitt. I'm quite sure Henry is a descendant of this line from the 1600s. (All those early families intermarried.) Alternatively, you might consider scanning this document and posting a notice at a Rootsweb LIPPITT list and send a copy of the pix to Brown University library, as they might also be interested in having this. Best of wishes to you.
