Good afternoon, Barbara, I was in contact with Elizabeth BOWER TAYLOR as one point in my research, but I have lost contact. Her e-mail address was _ejtaylor@charter.net_ (mailto:ejtaylor@charter.net) Have you been touch with her? She had just gotten a lot of material from NE and was going to share what she could when she got it sorted out, but I don't know what happened. So many health issues with us old folks. Anyway, my third great grandfather, Joseph WILLIAMSON married Sarah "Sally" BOWER, daughter of John Ludwig BOWER and Christina FREECE. I have almost the same data as you on John and more data on Joseph and Sarah. John Ludwig BOWER, Sr., b.July 9, 1763, Lebanon County, Pa, m. July 1793 Mulenberg KY, d. December 25, 1851, Clay Twp, Montgomery Co.,OH. He married Christina FREECE, b.1774, Clay Twp, Montgomery, OH, d. March 30, 1840, Clay Twp, Montgomery Co, OH.

Another note about John Ludwig - the home he built near Phillipsburg is still standing and is presently occupied.
