I'm wondering if any of you BOWDEN researchers have anything on Prudence BOWDEN who married Allen Merrill SIMS (SIMMS) in GA and was the mother of Prudence Jane and Amanda SIMMS. Prudence Jane m. Joshua BROWNING. Amanda m. William MANNING in Brooks Co., GA. William MANNING and Amanda SIMS MANNING gave birth to William, b. May 1853, Jane Elizabeth MANNING JONES, b. Feb. 14, 1858, d. Feb. 19, 1909 (my g grandmother), and Gatlin MANNING, b. 1861. I don't know the b. or d. dates for Prudence BOWDEN or when she married Allen M. SIMS (SIMMS). Allen M. is found in Brooks Co. and Lowndes Co., GA in 1850. Prudence has disappeared from the scene by 1850. They were last together in Twiggs Co., GA. Allen M. SIMS m. 2nd Mary E. McCardel in Brooks Co., GA, and 3rd m to ? CAVE. He d. in 1891 and is buried in Brooks Co., GA. Do you have anything on my Prudence BOWDEN?
