I have a William N. MOWERY (born about 1851 KY) married to Mary Frances WARD (born about 1853 MO). They had a son Marvin Orion MOWERY (born 1873 Gentry Co., MO) who married Nora A. GLASGOW (born abt 1873 IA) in 1893. Her parents, James Owen GLASGOW and America Ellen GILES, lived in Davis Co., IA until about 1878, when they moved to Osborne Co., KS. James had been born in Adams Co., OH, and America was born in Davis Co., IA. Do you think my William and your John could have been brothers?
