-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [BOWERS] Bowers of Grayson Co., VA and Grainger Co., TN Resent-Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 06:23:13 -0600 Resent-From: BOWERS-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 08:22:58 -0400 From: Robert Strong <strong@nantucket.net> Reply-To: BOWERS-L@rootsweb.com To: BOWERS-L@rootsweb.com I have created a web site that contains considerable information on Andrew Bowers of Grainger Co., TN. The url for this web site is: http://azstrong.tripod.com/jd_letha I am still trying to find the parents of my Andrew, who first appeared in the records of Grainger Co. in 1815. My theory is that he was a son of the Andrew Bowers who appears in the records of Grayson Co., VA between 1798 and 1812. An Andrew Jr. also appears in those records. Proven brothers of Andrew of Grainger Co. include John of Grainger Co. and David of Shelby Co., IN. Other Bowers who appear in Grainger Co. tax and census records between 1826 and 1830 include a second Andrew, who may have been Andrew Sr. of Grayson Co., and also William, Henry and Jacob, who may have been additional brothers of Andrew of Grainger Co. It is also known that Andrew of Grayson Co. had a son, George, who remained in Grayson Co. after the rest of the family left. ==== BOWERS Mailing List ==== Need to reach Colleen, the discussion coordinator?

Searching: Friedrich Baur, Born in Switzerland, Oberhofen the 28 April 1850 and baptised the 19 May 1850; he was the son of Jacob (1809-1892) and Magdalena Ritschard (1809-1854) (both married in 1839). Friedrich was farmer and leave Switzerland for America the 27 February 1871. He probably goes in the Seattle area. >From the same parents, I have a Gottlieb, born 9 Apris 1856 in Oberhofen (Switzerland), baptised th 18 May 1856. Farmer too, he leaves Switzerland for America the 1st July 1874. >From the same parents, I have a Gottfried, born the 28 February 1860, baptized the 25 March 1860. He leaves Switzerland for America the 1st April 1881. Ludwig Rudolf, born the 4 Feb. 1862, baptized the 16 March 1862 in Oberhofen, was localisated in America from 1934, and went there about 1884. He was the sun of Ludwig (1824-1881) and Marianna von Gunten (1824-1885). Is anyone informations about them ? Thanks for reply to me: christian.baur-nardin@span.ch
