(descended thru): Ellen Marie BOWERS born 27 Mar, 1848 in Billerica, Mass. married 30 Jan. 1912 to: George Byron ORDWAY born 30 Aug., 1846 Been on "a break" from genealogy for awhile, but wanted to get into the roll call. I can dig out more particulars and refresh myself if a cousin is interested. I know that I have BOWERS family ties in the NEW YORK area from the early 1900's - my Mother talks of visiting a cousin, "Harry BOWERS" when she was very young. . Interested parties get in touch.
