Nothing is known about him until he enlisted in Co. E, 13th Reg't, Indiana Volunteers in 1861. He was discharged in 1864. He married Louisa Talbert in Shelby Co., IN on 11 Nov 1866. Sometime after the 1870 census, Jacob and Louisa moved to Cassville, Barry Co., MO. Jacob died in Cassville on 14 Oct 1899. Grainger Co., TN is where the Andrew Bowers family lived. Shelby Co., IN is where Andrew's brother, David, lived. Each had a son named Jacob, but neither is the Jacob who is the subject of this post. It is speculated this is the son of another brother. John, also of Grainger Co., has been eliminated. That leaves as possible candidates, William, Henry and Jacob, all Bowers who appear in the records of Grainger Co. for a short time and are suspected to be brothers of Andrew.
