HI: I'm researching my great-grandmother's (ADELIA/ADA BOWMAN) family. Her maternal grandparents were WILSON and ELIZA (later Wilson married MIHALY HIGHWARDEN) COWEN. Ada's mother ELIZABETH died in 1869 in childbirth, so her materna aunt ELIZA (COWEN) EMMONS raised her. Ada's father was THOMAS BOWMAN, but I don't know anything more about him. WILSON and ELIZA moved from Tenn. (unknown county) to BROWN CO., OH in the mid-1840s. They are listed in the 1850-1870 Censuses as having children named ELIZABETH, AMANDA, FRANKLIN, JULIA, SARAH BELLE, ELIZA, JAMES and possibly MARY (she may be Wilson's daughter with his 2nd wife MIHALY). Wilson and Mihaly had 2 other children (a boy and a girl) who died in the mid-1860s in Brown Co. I have found an ANNIE COWEN married to JAMES TALL(e)Y living in Tenn. She opened a couple of bank accounts with the Freedmen's Bank from 1871-1874, for her and her son JAMES CHESTER TALLY. Her first account named WILSON and ELIZA (dead) COWEN as her parents, and that she was born in OH. All of this is true about my Brown Co. Cowens. Unfortunately when guessing at her age, Annie would have been born in the mid-1860s in Brown Co., and I haven't found her birth records in the county. How do I confirm that Annie is indeed the daughter of Wilson and Eliza? How do I proceed to research her? I can't find her or her husband and child in the 1880 Census in either TN or OH.
