The deed at the end of this post in 1834 is interesting because it shows the names of the children of Elijah Bowen and since they were not named in his will, the deed confirms the children as sons and daughters of Elijah. In this deed there is no wife included for Isaac Bowen. Elijah's father is said to be Jethro but Elijah is not named in Jethro's will. I don't think we can confirm yet that this Elijah is son of Jethro. Jethro Bowen Will Date: Probate Date: Bowen, Jethro 5 Jan 1793w. 9 Jul 1796p.
