Patti, I have the book. It is a family history book about the Harrison family but, along the way, it includes a wealth of information about other Shenandoah Valley families. It has been reprinted and is available from the: Southern Historical Press, Inc. P.O. Box 1267 Greenville, SC 29602-1267 Phone: 864-233-2346 Fax: 864-233-2349 Visa/MC Orders Only: 800-233-0152 The book code is "BI 16" and the cost is $45.00 plus $3.50 shipping & handling. In the index, I find the following: "Bowers - Mary, 375; Noah, 375; Phoebe, 375; Solomon, 375" There is, also, a listing for people named Bowyers or Bowyer. Looking at page 375, I find a story about Nathaniel & Mary Harrison which includes the information that their Daughter Phoebe married Noah Bowers on 2 Nov 1809 and their daughter Mary married Solomon Bowers on 6 Oct 1812. Hope this helps. Norman pasmith wrote: > I believe this is my first post to this mailing list.

I saw a post on GenForum that this book has information about the Bowers families in Rockingham Co., VA. > > Thanks! > > Patti, Delaware, OH > > Rockingham County ancestors: Bowers, Looker/Loker/Lokey, Matthews > > Shenandoah County ancestors: Bushong, Fravel, Keller, Hamman, Hottel, Schmucker, Will > > Genealogy Web Page: http://members.xoom.com/pasmith/ancestor.htm
