Dear Mark, Wilcher Bowman was the father of Isaac Pierce Bowman born either 1887 or 1888 Laurel Fork area Married Bessie Turner born 1892, Laurel Fork area. Isaac and Bessie Bowman were the parents of the children mentioned in Oleta Beeman's Obituary. Some of her sisters have written one or more books on genealogy. Betty Inman is a retired school teacher, and lives near me. Hope this helps.
