I rec'd this from another surname list. Even though it's 1895, you can see Bowers on the map. Notice on the county line of Southampton and Isle of Wight. Does anyone know if they appear on earlier maps...I know they were in the area in 1700's. <A HREF="http://www.livgenmi.com/southamptonVA.htm">SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY VIRGINIA 1895</A> or http://www.livgenmi.com/southamptonVA.htm
