Bowers Family Bible Records

 

The Bowers Family Bible Records

This information was shared with us courtesy of George Johnston and Robert Strong.  They received this from Ruth Bowers Dommestrup, a meticulous researcher and descendant of Andrew and Katherine's 10th child, Thomas. She transcribed the information from the original in 1978, which was at the time in the hands of Rector Bowers, also a descendant of Thomas.  Rector has since passed away and the location of the Bible is unknown.
