This is my current tree. John and Jeremiah are the oldest generation of this line and I'm working to figure out which county in VA they were from (1850 Logan Co., KY census shows Jeremiah born VA). Proof that John is actually Jeremiah's father is circumstantial. Maybe someone might recognize one or more of these generations or the location where they lived. The migration pattern is: Unk Co., VA > Nash Co., NC > Davidson/Wilson Co., TN > Yalobusha/Carroll/Grenada/Montgomery Co., MS / Logan & Todd Co., KY. Descendants of John Bowers Generation No. 1 1.
