I'm enjoying the discussion about the Bowens. I have Abner Bennett Bowen 1857 - 1941 who married Frances Victoria Parrish(daughter of Hiram & Sarah Elizabeth (West) Parrish/Parish in Duval County FL in 1882. I would like to know his parents/siblings, etc. He was born in Douglas, Coffee County GA. he and Frances had 6 children. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who might assist me.
