According to Joan: Matilda Ann Reid married Robert Bower (John, Charles, Adam) on 26 May, 1850. Matilda Ann Reid was born 8 Sept, 1834 "at Sea" while her parents James Reid and Matilda Porter were emigrating form Ireland to Montreal. Matilda's brother Thomas S. Reid also married into the Bower family. If you don't have a copy of Joan Harris Crise's Kith and Kin of Adam Bower, it's available through the Shelburne County Genealogical Society. Joan has done a incredible amount of research into the Bower family and is a definate source of key imformation.
