This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Bowman, Brunthaver, Ridenour Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WZB.2ACI/110.2 Message Board Post: In my husband's family files there is an Esther BRUNTHAVER born about 1806 who married a Solomon BOWMAN, probably in Sandusky County, Ohio. She was one of the daughters of Adam BRUNTHAVER (1789-1860) and his first wife Maria Magdalena RIDENOUR (1785-1835). I know she married a Bowman, because Adam's Will lists her as "Esther Bowman." But I can't find in my notes where the name "Solomon" came from. Perhaps she was an earlier wife of your Solomon Bowman who didn't live very long? Sorry but I have no more information.
