Sept. 5, 1761, Goochland Co., Va., d. after 1850, probably in Lumpkin Co., Ga.) married William Bowman (b. 1755 in Chesterfield Co., Va., d. 1808 in Rutherford Co., N.C.) in Goochland County on Dec. 28, 1779. She was the daughter of Samuel Cosby and Elizabeth Faure/ffaure/Ford. She had a brother William. A sister or half-sister Elizabeth. A half-sister, Patty Mosely Cosby by her father's second wife, Mildred Poor. Samuel Cosby was the son of Samuel Cosby and Magdalene Pasteur, the daughter of Dr. Jean Pasteur. Samuel was the son of James Cosby and Anne Stribling. The line goes Mary<Samuel (Elizabeth Faure) < Samuel (Magdalene Pasteur) < James (Anne Stribling) < John (Sarah ??) < Charles (Mary Loftus) < Alexander (Mary Dorcus Sydney) < Francis (Mary Seymour) If I followed this correctly our last common generation was John Cosby and Sarah ??LNU??, my gggggg grandparents. If I count correctly we're seventh cousins. If you are interested in distant cousins I have posted Mary's descendants on a FTM user homepage. Happy hunting, Jim Bowman in Cherryville, N.C.
