Linda, Not yet, but I have finally gotten in touch with a cousin that his mother was married to Josh. I remember meeting him when I was a kid and he seamed to be in his late sixtys at the time and that was back in the early 70's. Do you have any Bowen's listed in Mercer County after 1900? My grandfather married my grandmother in Bluefield in 1906. His name was William Francis Bowen and her name was Dora Myrtle Conner or Connor. Not sure what way her last name was spelled. Thanks for your time in answering my questions. Pat Lakeland, Florida
