Hello Everyone, I am looking for info on the Bower's that settled in Lycoming County, PA. Mainly in the Batress, Nipponese Twp. areas. The line I am looking for starts with Christian Bauer/Bower b. 1830 in Bavaria. He had a brother Frank that was deaf. Christian married, and had the following children. Franklin J. , (he was a wheelwright and buggymaker in the area and my gg grandfather) Joseph, John, Lizzie, Mary, Anna, and Emma. I would like to talk to others researching this line and people who are reasearching other Bower's in the area. I have 2 different Bower families in my tree. Talk to you soon, Jaime Bower Baumgardner PS. I am also researching the surnames Nittinger, Baierski, Lapoint, Lambert, and Keeler.
