Surnames: Bower, Sisk, Brown Carter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EeB.2ACE/2.17.1.2 Message Board Post: Hello. My name is Cindy McWilliams. My cousin, Diana Cecil and I are researching the Bowers surname as we just learned that we are connected to the Bowers family. We learned that our ggggrandmother was Mary Jane Bowers, who eventually married a Huff, Sisk and then Shannon. While Mary Jane Bowers was married to Jesse Sisk, they had a daughter named Amanda M. Sisk born in 1862. I believed they lived in Missouri, possibly Worth, Morgan, Cass and Mountain Grove, MO. We are trying to locate Mary Jane Bowers family--parents, siblings, etc. We have documents showing there was an Abram N. Bowers as well as a Henry Bowers (minister of the gospel), as well as an E. or Elder H. B. Bowers (document not clear enough for me to read the latter name). There is undocumented Indian blood in our family line, but am not certain if it comes from this line or the other family lines we are researching which are Brown, Carter, Sisk. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!! Cindy and Diana
