John Bowers & Rebecca Kelley (Kelly)
Here's a mystery I can't solve...Can You?
John Bowers has various birthdates ranging from 1819-1821, no death found.He is listed as John Edward Bowers on marriage to Rebecca Kelley (spelled Kelly in some other documents)married 10 April 1845 in Pocahontas County VA. aka WV.They had 10 children:
1)J.C. Bowers b: abt 1842
2)James F Bowers b: abt 1845 married Elizabeth Ervine (spelling varies)
3)Mary E. Bowers b: abt 1847
4)Margaret R Bowers b: abt 1850
5)John W Bowers b: 13 March 1854 d: 2 July 1913 married Elizabeth Painter
6)Tabitha (Tebitha) Alice Bowers b: July 1856
7)Martha Susan Bowers b: April 1859
8)Jessie Bowers (male) b: abt 1866
9)Joseph F Bowers b: 1867 d: 1943
10)William H. Bowers (My G-G-Grandfather) b: 10 June 1873d: March 1929 married Emma L Kelley (Kelly in some documents)
I have yet to find the parents of John Edward Bowers who married Rebecca Kelley.In another family line John Bowers 1st married a Mary Hoover.They had 9 children, however in an 1850 census in Pendleton County Va, John and Mary were still together, children match family tree and Census.This is impossible considering John and Rebecca married in 1945.
This John Edward Bowers had a sister Anna Lavina (Lavenia)Bowers who married Rebecca Kelley's brother William H. Kelley.
Can anyone help with solving who the parents are of John and Anna Bowers?
Thank You.
