Looking for Samuel G Bauer b 1825 probably in Westmoreland County PA. At the age of three he moved to Wayne County OH with his parents. He first married Sarah Bayes in 1849 and she died in 1850. He then married Martha Dillon in 1852. It was at this time that he changed his surname from Bauer to Bowers. In 1878 Samuel and Martha moved west to Higland, Doniphan County, Kansas where he died in 1881. Martha also died there in 1879. Children of Samuel G Bauer/Bowers Wesley Bowers Lewis Bowers Charles Bowers Henry Bowers (My gggrandfather) Alcid Bowers Carrie Growt Mattie Evans Much of the above history is passed down through the family but it is also listed in a book entitled "TRAIL OF THE PIONEERS" by Lister O Weiss and Edna M Weiss. It is a history of the Bauer-Bower-Bowers family who originally came over from Switzerland. I am looking for proof of Samuel G and Martha Dillon Bowers births and deaths. If anyone can help please let me know. Also if anyone is interested I can do a lookup in the above book. One last thing, there is supposed to be book "Supplement to the Hans Bauer Family History 1952-1957" printed in Orrville, OH 1967. I would be very interested in getting a copy of this book. If anyone can help me, it much appreciated. Thank You Joy Payne
