Hello Ellis: I'm wondering if by chance there might any mention of any Bowsers (Bauser, Buser) in the material you inherited. The reason I ask, in the 1850 census there are 3 "Bowsers" listed on the same page, 4 visits away from what appears to me, to be your Andrew Dietle. These 3 are a complete mystery to me. They are only found in the US in 1850, are listed as all having been born in "Germany"; which means that if they were related to the other Bowsers in the area, the relationship would necessarily have to go back 100 years to the old country. 1850 Federal census, Maryland, Allegany County, District 2, page 40 or 20b (SK Image 20b; Ancestry.com Image 4 of 44) for Dist. 2 taken July 23, 1850. Dwelling 267 Family 270 "Andrew Deihl", WM age 44 (1806), Laborer, $300 Real Estate, born in Germany. "Mary", WF age 40 (1810), born in Germany. "Mary", WF age 8 (1842), born in MD.

Sam, Off the top, we cannot be of much help, or offer a proper answer for your question at this moment. However, we will look into and do some research, in order to see if we can be of help. Carole's grandparents: (grandfather a grandson of Andrew) her grandmother, through other relatives had position of the trunk, her mother was a Bowser. She being from Somerset County. I think that was the way it was. I will really have to get into the information and Carole's files and get back to you.
