Yes, the name is Lemuel, not Leonard. However I have had no one with the name Lemuel in my line as yet. Be careful when using the census indexes from the U.S. Genweb Transcription Project. I checked on Heritage Quest and was able to find the census records according to the Microfilm Number, Reel Number and Page number from Genweb but found that in 1840, it was NOT written as Bowars as the transcriptionist stated but was Lemuel Bowers and also Lemuel Bowers in 1850.

My Bowers line... I would great appreicate any corrections and additions. I need more proof of Nathaniel being Lemuel's father. ALSO...is there a Bowers on this line that would take a DNA test? Has someone on this line already tested with Family Tree DNA?
