Bowen's" in Telfair County during this time frame. There was even two men, George Washington Bowen, in the same regiment in the Civil War. It is difficult to get them all straight. How are you related to the Bowen's in Telfair? My thinking is that somehow they were all related somehow. I just don't know how. So you didn't mess up at all.
