I amm a descendant of Capt. Robert Bowen and Mary Gillespie. I have lots of
info on Robert, his father John and grandfather Moses. I have nothing on Mary
except her brother was Col John Gillespie and that he lived to be 110 and died
in NC. I don't know where Mary is buried. And to find out more about her
family. I would love to share. I also have quite a bit on Rees Bowen, newspaper
articles and such. My line goes:
Moses Bowen/Rebecca Reece/Rhys
John Bowen/Lily McIlhaney
Robert Bowen/Mary Gillespie
Reece Bowen/Sarah Strong
Dr. Christopher Strong Bowen/Isabella Polk
Dr. Simon Peter Lester/Emily Bowen...
