Where in Virgina did they come from? Do you have an estimated date of birth? I have been searching for the parents/siblings of my Thomas Bowen who married Mary Stone in Guilford, NC in 1785. They moved to Kentucky after their first son, Benjamin, was born. Thomas was said to have come from Virgina, but I have no proof of that. My grandfather always told us that his people came from Wales. Would love to find a connection. And thanks for the offer of taking a picture. Unfortunately I don't know where the graves of Thomas and Christena "Teny" Bowen are located. Betty (see posting by her) is going to try and locate them for me. Susan
