-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [BOWERS] Silas BOWERS d. 1818 OH Date: Sun, 2 Sep 2001 06:28:09 -0500 From: "Jim Lewis" <jbarlew@axs4u.net> To: BOWERS-L@rootsweb.com My GGGranny was Clarissa BOWERS, b abt 1805, either Long Island NY or "On the Ocean", who married Rufus LOVE in Huron Co OH, 22Mar1821. They were in Norwalk, Huron Co OH, on the 1840 Census, but I have not located them after that. Their daughter, Elmira LOVE married Jared SMITH, supposedly in Monroe Co MI, in1848, altho there is no record there. Elmira was my GGranny. Clarissa's father was Silas BOWERS, mother Marvel ? There is a writeup about the early pioneers in the "Firelands Pioneer", Nov1858, which states that Silas BOWERS came into Fairfield Twp in 1816. It describes how, in early 1818, he froze to death while hunting deer. In addition to Clarissa, he and Marvel also had a son Silas, who was also a minor when Silas died. Ring any bells?
