Hi. I am also searching in Ohio for William & Elenor Bowers (born circa 1800). Their son Clayton Webb Bowers b.Ohio 1826 married in Clermont County Ohio in 1856 to Mary E. (Rice) Bowers. Lookup request of 1850 census Clermont County Bower/Bowers did not list Clayton Bowers as a family member. Mary Rice Bowers, single, age 16 listed as member of William Rice family. Clermont County webmistress emailed that circuit rider minister that performed the 1856 marriage had the White Oak Circuit and that line ran between Clermont and Brown Counties in Ohio. As of now, I am centering my search on Clermont & Brown counties. GGGGrandfather -William Bowers b. circa 1800 Ohio d. unknown GGGrandfather - Clayton Webb Bowers b.
