Yes, as you've been hearing, and I'm one of them although I'm newly rejoined to the list after an extended time away. My earliest BOWENs were in the Chesapeake Bay region during Colonial American days. The first is William BOWEN b 1630 in Northampton Co., VA, my 8th gr-grandfather. He married 8th gr-grandmother Ann SMITH in 1653, same place. For years I was transcribing data from Daniel Bowen's 1893 book, The Family of Griffith Bowen, Gentlemen, Welsh Puritan Immigrant...Especially the Branch of Esquire Silas Bowen. I never finished it but I still intend to. Now that I'm back to the list, I have much less time to devote to research than I used to; however, I want to contribute what I can to the discussions.
