This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bowman, Sparrow Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.illinois.counties.pike/3569.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I believe your John W. Bowman was a son of Curtis and Rebecca Jane Sparrow who were from Kentucky. Curtis Bowman's father was from NC. My connection to this family is through Rebecca Sparrow's brother James Sparrow. Some of the Bowmans were also in Adams County around the Richfield area. I can send you my Bowman file if you would like. Hope this helps, Thelma
