I am not related. 1900; Montague, Montague, Texas; Roll: T623 1659; Page: 6A; Enumeration District: 46. George F Green, 4/1858, age 42, married 16 yrs, born in MO, father KY, mother VA, could read/write, renting farm property Annie E or C, wife, 1/1864, mother of 5 living children, 6 were born, she was born in TX, father GA, mother TN, could read/write Lillie B Green, 7/1884, 15, TX, attending school Charlottie W Green, 2/1887, 13, TX, attending school Martha E Green 1/1889, 11, TX, attending school Henry D Green, 4/1893, 7, TX, attending school Ida C Green, 8/1895, 4, TX 1900; Forestburg, Montague, Texas; Roll: T623 1660; Page: 14B; Enumeration District: 51. John W Bowers, 1/1842, 56, married 36 yrs, born VA, parents VA, owned farm/no mortgage, could read/write. Barbara, wife, 9/1845, 54, mother of 9 living children, 10 were born, she also from VA and parents VA, could read/write Minnie, 9/1876, TX Joseph, 1/1878, TX Pearl, 4/1880, TX Robert, 7/1882, TX, at school Edna L, 7/1885, TX, at school ..all could read/write. Barbara A Bowers is widowed by 1910; Edna Lee has married T J Cothran, [1884] AR who are residing with Barbara and grandchildren Isla, [1907] and Edward Cothran [1909]. Minnie Bowers is still in household and single. Barabara indicated she still had 9 living children. The George F Green household included wife Anna, Lottie [Charlotte]; Austen who was listed as Henry D in 1900; Ida and daughters Gracie [1901] and Anna [1902]. Anna/Annie Green indicated she was the mother of 7 living children. This would make Lillie E and Marthe E Green now married as well as Joseph/Joe Bowers and his siblings except Minnie. The census was taken in April of 1910. Joseph/Joe and Lillie are not found in the census records as a couple. Your grandfather is not listed in the 1930 record as all persons that were enumerated are indexed. If you can have someone look for a marriage record in Montague county for Joe and Lillie I would say these would be your ancestors. There is a Joe Bowers in Montague county in 1920 and 1930 but not same wife and children. No other Bower's listed and the Green's are not listed after 1910. Thomas J & Edna L Cothran have moved to Wichita Falls, Wichita Co, TX by 1920; Isla F, 13 and Edward H, 11. No additional children. I wish you success in your search. Paula
