Could someone please tell me the correct name of the Owsley County family history society or historical society? They are maybe located in the library. Many thanks, Mary Jane Phillips

I think one of my father's PHILLIPS great-aunts married a son of Cornelius Bowman in Owsley County. It could have been ELISHA BOWMAN. Does anyone on the Owsley list know anything about Elisha Bowman? Thank you very much. Mary Jane Phillips

I have Cornelius Bowman and his wife Elizabeth Moore in my ancestry file. I have his parents, siblings, his birth & death dates (1799, Madison County, KY - 15 Oct. 1835, Owsley County), and an "Appraisal of Cornelius Bowman Estate" ( Transcribed from the Document at The William Julias Moore Collection, Former Dean of Eastern Kentucky University, by Sherry Baker Frazier). It does not include relationships or a will. I foiund this online recently and for some reason did not list the url. I will email the entire appraisal if anyone wants it. Included are items purchased from the estate with the names of buyers and the purchase prices. Among those are Henry Bowman: Henry Bowman 1 saddle.............................................................. 6.00 Henry Bowman 1 broad axe.............................................................. 3.25 Henry Bowman 1 axe .............................................................. 12.02 Henry Bowman 1 kettle.............................................................. 7.00 Total: $28.27 Nancy in CA ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Fellow genealogists and anyone concerned with preserving our sacred cemeteries, The History Channel and Time Warner are sponsoring a 'Save Our History' grant award for which anyone can go online and cast their vote. Voting ends THIS FRIDAY April 27th, so time is short. We were fortunate that our restoration project was chosen as a finalist. The JCOGS is the only genealogy society or cemetery project to be chosen as one of the five finalists, so I truly hope that you will go to the Time Warner website and cast your vote for the James Cemetery project. If awarded this grant, we will use 100% of the grant to begin installing an antique-style aluminum alloy fence around the perimeter in order to help halt further desecration of this sacred and historic burial ground. You can read more about our James Cemetery project at the Time Warner 'Save Our History' voting website. Please unite with us as a group of genealogists concerned about the ever-increasing destruction of our cemeteries by VOTING for us at the website below.
