I walked the Wm Penn Spruce street cemetery in May 2004 with my dad and husband we were searching for Eben and Mary BASTIAN tomb stones. There was none . But Joe Mesier has them listed as buried in that cemetery. One tomb stone my dad and I looked at for a long time for clues. No dates it was old. No one around them we knew as ancestors. But the tomb stone had two surnames on it BASTIAN BOWEN. Joe Meiser does not have a BASTIAN BOWEN listed. Could this be my tomb stone? But he has Eben BASTIAN who married Mary Ann and we found her name to be BOWMAN in an 1850 census. I can not find her in any BOWMAN family the closest so far is John and Hannah BOWEN. They are in same cemetery. Joe Meiser has John BOWEN as Joseph. The census has him as John born in PA. Floyd history 1911 had him as John born in England with only 3 children. In Sunbury I found a younger John Bowen in census . I think he had more children than 3. But since we won't find them on any earlier than 1850 census we have to find another way to find out. He also has his wife Hannah Barnhart BOWEN as dying in 1884 but she is still alive in a census in 1900 in Shamokin with a niece and nephew. My Mary Ann names one daughter Alice and one Jannie. Angeline Bowen Haupt names a daughter Alice Jennie . They both name a son William. Several similar things. Mary Ann B BASTIAN 10/1/ 1833- 1/ 10/ 1890 If any one has any thing to say to help this puzzle I would really appreciate it. Thank you Jeanie
