To Carol Brown.... I think you mean Lemuel went to IL 1830, not 1930. Also if you don't have....William Pitt's son, John Calhoun b. 8/3/1801 m. Sally Lassiter 12/26/1822; d. July 12, 1888. Sally b. March 22, 1805, d. July 20, 1890...all dates Davidson Co. See my web page for more info on Bowers of Davidson Co. http://www.geocities.com/dhinson2000/GenealogyPages.html My gggg-grandfather, Jeremiah Bowers was from Sumner/Wilson counties, TN. One of his sons later moved to Washington Co., IL, about 1850, not very far from Hamilton Co. I still believe William Pitt and Jeremiah are related, but no proof to date. Donna Bowers Hinson
