I am descended from Joseph BOWERS b. 1803 somewhere in PA. Census records indicate that his parents were both born in Germany. He married Elizabeth PARENT in Darke Co. OH in 1829 and they had the following children: Samuel BOWERS Amy BOWERS Randal BOWERS Acca Ann BOWERS Margaret BOWERS Sarah BOWERS He moved to Warren Co. IA after 1860 where he died circa 1880. Any further information on Joseph and his ancestors would be appreciated. Joan [email protected]
