I hate to be the one to disagree with the information re: the Moses Bowen family... However, while all of Moses' children were born in PA, ALL of John's children were also born there... my proof is the petition application of Benjamin Bowen, Rev. War soldier, who states that he was born in Lancaster County, PA, and he was the 2nd youngest of John's and Lillian's children. "Benjamin Bowen of Pickens Co SC drew Revolutionary Pension "W20 743" and stated he was born in 1756 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and removed before the Revolution with his parents to Guilford County, NC and enlisted in the Revolution in Guilford Co NC in 1776 and saw service under Capt John Nelson in Col. Piasley's Regt....and also under Col. Lock and under Capt. George Pierce and Capt. Smith Moore.....Pension was allowed in Anderson Dist. SC - SC Agency. He died 5 Nov 1837/38. He gives a list of his children and their birth dates as well as his marriage." I also have a copy of the original application, and have been researching this family for many years - my maternal grandmother was a Bowen and I do have a photo of her father, David Benson Bowen, and his three sons. I have never seen anywhere that the children of John and 'Lily' were born anywhere but Pennsylvania... Any questions? Email me [email protected] Diane S.
