I'm looking for any leads on the siblings or parents of Amanda HASTINGS BOWERMAN b. 1818 New York State to parents unknown, mother may have be Sybil. Siblings may have included Horace 1822 HASTINGS and Clarissa HASTINGS 1821. Clues seem to suggest that the HASTINGS may have be in Dutchess County. Amanda married (James) Addison BOWERMAN in Medina County, Ohio in 1838. Addison was born in Ontario City, [Wayne County ?] NY 1817, son of Cornelius BOWERMAN and Ruby HAMILTON (1800-1855). Ruby's family thought to be from Dutchess County, NY. Would welcome any info on Ruby HAMILTON as well. Amanda and Addison raised their nine children in Cass County, Michigan. Amanda died there in 1891, Addison died in the Civil War in 1864. Thanks for any info -- Sonia Email: [email protected] Anlex Web Page: http://www.anlex.com
