Hello Shelley, My maiden name is Stowell. My father's name was John Delos Stowell. He died September 1962. My twin sister has a Stowell ancestry book that goes waaay back to England and the war of the roses. She is legally blind and cannot confirm that Clara Stowell is in our line. But, she is coming to visit me over Memorial day week-end and will bring the book. I can then confirm if Clara is our relative. Thank you for your effort in trying to contact us. I have several cousins who are very involved in this research. I will make sure the right person get the photographs. Sincerely, Susan Stowell Till ----- Original Message ----- From: njburlin-request@rootsweb.com<mailto:njburlin-request@rootsweb.com> To: njburlin@rootsweb.com<mailto:njburlin@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 11, 2009 12:00 AM Subject: NJBURLIN Digest, Vol 4, Issue 35 When replying to a digest message, quote only the specific message to which you are replying, removing the rest of the digest from your reply.

STOWELL Family Photographs (Shelley Cardiel) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 22:54:32 -0700 From: "Shelley Cardiel" <cardiels@comcast.net<mailto:cardiels@comcast.net>> Subject: [NJBurlin] STOWELL Family Photographs To: <NJBURLIN@rootsweb.com<mailto:NJBURLIN@rootsweb.com>> Message-ID: <7B72B04490394FB58B1976E5CFB8A8B2@your55e5f9e3d2<mailto:7B72B04490394FB58B1976E5CFB8A8B2@your55e5f9e3d2>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I've "rescued" two old photographs which I believe both belong to the STOWELL Family of Pennsylvania. The first is a photograph of Clara STOWELL which was taken at the Thos. Baker Studio in Burlington, New Jersey. The photograph was taken in the 1870's or 1880's with Clara appearing to be in her teens at the time. The second photograph is unidentified, however, the woman in this second photograph looks very similar to Clara. The second photograph is of an older woman, probably in her 50's, taken at the H. J. Thein Studio in Newark, NJ sometime in the 1880's. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family in census records as follows: 1870 census of Burlington, NJ: Charles STOWELL, age 45, a Shoemaker, born NJ Elizabeth STOWELL, age 42, Keeping House, born England Lizzie STOWELL, age 18, born NJ Henry STOWELL, age 16, born NJ Frank STOWELL, age 14, born NJ Clara STOWELL, age 7, born NJ Cortlandt STOWELL, age 3, born NJ 1880 census of Burlington, NJ: Charles STOWELL, age 56, born NJ, a Policeman, father born NH Elizabeth STOWELL, wife, age 53, born England, parents born England Frank STOWELL, son, age 23, born NJ, a Cain Maker Clara STOWELL, dau, age 17, born NJ, at Home Courtland V. STOWELL, son, age 13, born NJ, attends School Nathaniel L. STOWELL, Father, a widower, age 87, born NH, a Retired Gardner, parents born NJ/England Joseph BLAIR, other, age 68, born NJ, a Tailor, parents born NJ Joseph HAYS, other, age 56, born NJ, a Policeman I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that the photographs can be returned to their rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley End of NJBURLIN Digest, Vol 4, Issue 35 ***************************************
