I have a large file on the descendants of Johannes Bauman and Margaretha Guth. I have been trying to tie their son Christian, b. 1734. He is supposed to have married Nancy Ann Huber [Spohn] "Bowman/Bauman Family of Cocalico Township, Lancaster Co.,P A, Millers, Tavernkeepers,Paper- makers and Printers" , but I have not found a record of it. The book by author [Heinhold] "Genealogy of the Ephrata Bowmans" also states this. His will, gives the names of all of his siblings or surviving spouses and children, but makes no mention of children of his own. He was said to be a stone cutter and millstone -maker. Heinhold errs in attatching the children of my grgrgrgrandfather Christian Bowman, b. 1794 to Christian Bauman,b. 1734. Christian Bowman, b. 1794 was married to Mary Mohler and their children were: John Bowman, m. Catherine Longenecker; Anna Bowman, m. Daniel Balsbaugh; Mary Bowman, m. John Longenecker; Christian Bowman, m. Elizabeth Brightbill and Samuel Bowman, m. Susan Koons. I have not found the connection. I made a list of the Bowman I found in the census of the years 1795-1850 and 10 of them were related to Christian, b. 1794; 28 of them were related to Johannes Bauman and 4 of them were related to Wendel Bowman. Of course they could all be related in some way. Myron Dunning
