In the 1880 census of Hardin co. there is a R.J.Bowers listed living in Kenton. In the 1870 census here are the 1rst names of Bower/Bowers listed.(all I have is the index) Bower: Amanda, Jacob P; Joseph H; Bowers:A M, Abraham, Adam M, Elizabeth, Elmer E., Francisco D., George F., Gorge, Henry, I D , John L, Lillian, Milton, Noah, Phebe E, Sarah Gloria http://hardincogenealogycenter.homestead.com/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: RHamill380@aol.com To: BOWER-L@rootsweb.com I am from Mamie's line and am currently trying to find any information on Roy Bowers. There is no mention of any correspondence with any Bowers. On his marriage certificate to May Ellen, he lists his home town as Ada, OH. So I am researching that route, but don't know what county Ada would have been in in the 1870's or 1880's or township.
