I'm wondering if anyone is working on this name Brenda posted from the AR census.....Johnson Bowers. I have seen this name only once before....in a Wilson Co., TN on a property settlement dated 1815, along with Jeremiah Bowers. Johnson has always seemed like an unusual name because it's not simply John. It could be the same person as in TN. If so, Johnson would've been about 17 in 1815. If anyone is working on this AR group, please contact me. Brenda Tengelin wrote: > >From 1850 Arkansas Census - Every-Name Index: > > BOWERS, Johnson 52 NC > Lavina 24 AR > Jinsey 12 > George 8 >
