I am looking for descendants of John & Jane (Wilson) Bowen in hopes of filling in some of the family lines.

JOHN A. BOWEN was born 18 June 1808 in Virginia, and died 30 September 1871 in Jefferson Township, Boone County, Indiana. He married JANE WILSON 20 December 1832 in Nicholas County, Kentucky. She was born 13 March 1808 in Pennsylvania, and died 08 July 1862 in Jefferson Township, Boone County, Indiana.


Children of JOHN BOWEN and JANE WILSON are:
THOMAS JEFFERSON BOWEN, SERILDA BOWEN, ELIZA A. BOWEN, WILLIAM BOWEN, MARGARET JANE BOWEN, [GEORGE WILSON BOWEN?], MARY BOWEN, JOHN A. (JR.) BOWEN, JAMES HARVEY BOWEN.

Hi Craig,

Any idea who John A. BOWENs parents were? I have a very loose end in one of my BOWEN lines. Samuel BOWEN b 1755 had son William b 1790 who had sons Albert and John. They were born in SW Pa area, but sometimes listed as West VA. They were named in Samuel's will in 1822. I have no idea what happened to them, but one of Samuel's other sons Absalom came to Boone County. So there may be a connection.
