I've been told that my original message was jumbled to a point it could not be read. Here is is again. As far as the referenced photos are concerned, if you want copies, send me a separate message and I'll send them to you as an attachment to my reply. Hi: Just back from a quick visit to the Bowen Cemetery on Rt. 621 in Craig County. Would be interested in talking with the person who recorded this cemetery (it's posted on the Craig County web site) because there are some additions that need to be made to the list. Also, Mr. & Mrs. Joyce who now own the land on which the cemetery rests, says that at some time in the early 1900's, an orphanage was located on the property. Do any of you have any information about this orphanage? The land in question was in the Bowen family from 1788 to at least 1905 (John Bowen to son, James Bowen to son James L. Bowen). John and his wife Elizabeth are believed to be buried in the cemetery. James Bowen assumed ownership upon the death of his parents per an 1823 agreement on file in Montgomery County. James' estate was settled in 1866. He is believed to be the J. Bown who died in August 1865. His grave is marked with an inscribed field stone. His son, James L. (blind mattress maker) is shown living in the house in the 1860, 1870, 1880 and 1900 census for Craig County. He is the "J. L. BOWAN, DEC AUG 15, 1905 AGD. 78 YS" buried in the cemetery. I'm attaching three photos to this message. (1) the cemetery, (2) J. Bown's marker & (3), J. L. Bowan's marker. Semper Fi - Bob Bowen in Woodbridge, VA -- Protect our Flag
