My Roy Bowers was listed in the 1910 census as his father being from OH and mother being from PA. How possible is it that this information could be different in the 1880 census? The census information that you, my Bowers cousins, have sent me do not mention the mother being from PA. The marriage certificate of Roy to May E. Krichbaum say that he is from Ada, OH, this was in 1898. They were married in Upper Sandusky, OH. The marriage certificate to his 2nd wife Grace Smith says that he was from Crane Twsp, Wyandot Co., OH as was Grace. They were married in 1904 in Upper Sandusky, OH. I found Roy and Grace in Taymochtee Twsp., Wyandot Co., OH in the 1910 census. I checked Taymochtee Twsp. in 1920 and did not find them. I am figuring his age from the 1910 census, I also have a newspaper article about his death in 1957. Another thing I chose to wait and mention is the fact that Roy murdered his 2nd wife, Grace in 1932 on their farm north of Smithville. I hope this information does not offend anyonenh, but I feel this is key in finding his family. I know this bit of information is true, because my grnadmother visited him in prison( Ohio State Penn.). He died in prison. Thanks for your help. Robin

Is that Smithville, OH.? Just wondering.
