He married Adeline Simmons in 1848 in Floyd Co., VA I have 11 children listed for them. Most of my information on them was from another reseacher. 1. Emmet Sowers b. 1841 VA 2. William S. Sowers b. 1842 married Mary J. ? b. abt 1844 KY 1880 soundes of Madison Co., KY listed 9 children; James, William, Rasmus, Susan, Mike Robert, Mary and Lucy. 3. Rhoda E. Sowers b. 1846 VA 4. Permilla Isabelle b.1848 VA located on 1900 Million Dist, Madison Co., KY census married to Robert Goins b. Mar 1848 KY (Adeline Sowers was listed as mother in law) listed were 10 children; William, Clarence, James, George, Robert E., Calvin, Alma, Emma, Herschel and Grace. 5. Mary A. Sowers b.

Have been unable to find out when the family left VA and if all of the children went with them. Located them on the LDS 1880 census in Milion Dist, Madison Co., KY and only Paris, Florence and William were liste with Joel and Adeline Sowers then. If anyone could search marriage records in Madison Co. for me would appreciate it. Also and cemetery records/listings. All the information I have is from census records and another reseacher so what I have is not really documented. Have found only one person who is reseaching this family. All the other say Joel moved west. John in Lawrence, KS researching Sowers, John, Miller, Booth. Eller, Sargent and other related families.
