Dear Connie, I am interested in Acca Ann Bowers of Darke Co. Ohio. Acca Ann was born 1833, daughter of Joseph Bowers b. 1803 and Elizabeth Parent. Acca was married twice. First to Mr. Wisener and then William McGuffey Martin. Terry from Tucson

Help!!! Bear with me here. I am new to posting, and I have been given a notepad that my Great-Aunt wrote her "genealogy" research back in the 1940's. It is very confusing, so I am hoping some of these names will mean something to someone out there. If I am translating my Great-aunt's notes correctly, all of these people are either cousins or siblings. The notes imply that they are related to Joel Bower's family of Ohio, then Ripley County, Indaina, somehow. But if my Great-Aunt figure out how, then she didn't put it in her notes (that I can find). The handwritting is terrible, so if the names aren't spelled exactly correctly, it is probably because I cannot read it. Let me know if any of this helps or links to your research...this is a big puzzle for me! Anna Margetha Bower b 7-9-1826 d. 5-5-1899 m. John Ordiman children: Lyman - died Carolina m.
