Hi Constance, My gg grandfather, William BOWE came from Ireland to North Smithfield about 1852. Per the 1860 Cumberland RI census, my gg grandpa, William Bowe(35) was living with Catherine Bowe(45) who I think was his sister and his two sons William (8) and James (4). In the same multifamily house but living with the SULLIVAN family was Hannah Bowe (60), Julia Bowe(58) and Michael Bowe (22). These Bowes were all born in Ireland and are probably closely related with William above. I think that the John ANDERSON, Stephen OWENS, John SULLIVAN, and Bowe families of Woonsocket and living very close to one another are all interelated. I know they all came from Ireland about the same time. I have found that the Owens family came from or through Dublin about 1850. So I am interested in anyone who may have connections with any of these families. BTW, the Andersons and Owens were intermarried. Thanks for the help, Charlie King gg grandson of William Bowe of No. Smithfield and Pawtucket RI Constance wrote: I live in this town. Are you looking for a particular family? ________________________________________________________________________ Interested in getting caught up on today's news?
