I have information on Margaret Bowser and Bartholomew Booher.This information comes from "The Bowser Family History" by Addison Bartholomew Bowser, A.M. 1922 (may still be available as a reprint).
(The book lists information on Margaret's family on previous pages; her father was David, his father was Jacob, his father was Mathias and his father was Mathias.Extensive information on the Mathias Bowser family: most of book)
(pg. 194)
1504. DAVID (4); JACOB (3); MATHIAS (2); MATHIAS (1). "Rock" Davy Bowser came to Armstrong County, Pa, in 1800, and took up a section of land near Centre Hill, Pa.; he married Mary Razor.
Children:
(The book lists various other children and Margaret)
1648 Margaret Bowser, b. June 18, 1832; d. Apr. 24, 1890; m. Bartholomew Booher, b. May 1, 1819; d. Jan. 4, 1905.
(pg. 196)
1648. MARGARET (95); DAVID (4); JACOB (3); MATHIAS (2); MATHIAS (1), Margaret Bowser married Bartholomew Booher, a farmer of Washington Township, Armstrong County, Pa; grandfather of the author on his mother's side.This was Mr. Booher's second marriage.
Children:
1683. Elsie Booher, b. July 26, 1856; m. James L. Dailey, b. May 5, 1852.
1684. David Booher, b. Aug. 18, 1858; m. Charlotte Frick. See (407) for children.
1685. Catharine Booher, b. Dec. 26, 1860; m. William McCollum, b. April 24, 1854.
1686. Lydia Booher, b. Nov. 4, 1862; m. John Bowser. See (753) for children.
1687. Margaret Booher, b. Aug. 18, 1865; m. Isaac McCollough, b. June 9, 1858.

1689. Charlotte Booher, b. Feb. 28, 1867; m. John Wolfe. See (409) for children.
(the book also describes some of these families on various pages)
My husband is related through Ross Bowser, son of David (1646) who is Margaret's brother.
So far, I do not see any mention of Esther or Frederick Helsel. but Catherine, Mary Ann, Henry and Peter Helsel are mentioned.
I can recheck to see if any additional information on Bartholomew Booher can be found. Have you seen this book before? If not and you want, I can provide more information for you.Let me know if and what you need. I hope this helped.
