Hi, I was browsing a book, Vital Reocrds of Rhode Island 1636-1850 of Newport Vol 4 part II with births, marriages and deaths. by James N. Arnold. I came across Peter Bourse birth 27 Sept 1707, son of Peter and Bathsheba. Has anyone else found this variant spelling of Bowers? Good Luck Brenda Brenda K.
