I do know that Moses Bowen(1st) and Martha Ball had over a dozen children but I don't know who they are except my Moses and maybe a sister named Mary who married Oakley Swarthout. I thought I heard something about a John once but wasn't sure at the time. The first Moses would be my GGGGG-Grandfather. I would be happy to share what I have.
