This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BOWEN DILL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/pAC.2ACI/2194 Message Board Post: Nathaniel BOWEN b. abt. 1804 St. Albans, Franklin, d. IA. His daughter, Meribee Jane (b. 1834 MO) married John S. DILL (b. 1827 IN) in Wapello, IA. On two census records it says John S. DILL's father was b. Vermont. John may have had a brother, George W. DILL (b. 1824 IN) both of whom served in the Civil War in the IA Infantry. Were the BOWENs and DILLs friends and neighbors in Vermont? Searching for even the smallest clue that will help me locate the DILL parents and would be grateful for help.
