Thanks Donna for the census, but I have looked & can not find either, my brick wall goes like this, James Madison, son of William Bower left home at a early age how young ??? I was told my some second cousin that he left home & worked for an Uncle in a gro store or hardware store. He was married to a first wife by 1908. Had two girls by first wife, she died & he married my grandmother abt 1915. Somewhere in Ill or West Virginia. I think the Uncle was married to a Bower. I want to say the last name was cline, but that just comes out of nowhere. No adoption, just divorce between my parents when I was young & I know very little about my Bower side of the family & they are all passed on. Have you ran across a lost William Bower that might fit into this story?
