(I have her parens names somewhere but am not at my home computer right now). Both are buried in the McClane Cemetary (just south of Erie , PA) right next to all my Nesbitt's. His date of death was 11 Aug. 1875, hers was 23 Nov. 1882. A photo of thier grave stone is on the Erie County PA genweb (Bill Nesbitt took the pictures). Go to search for graves and type in Bowen (there's a bunch of them). As for the Moses's, Moses Sr, had a son Moses, who also had a son Moses. John musy have liked the name also so he had a Moses. There were 10 kids so I'm guessing there are more Moses's somewhere.
