Mary Catherine "Kate" Bowman

Home

parents: Martin Bowman and Gennette Girdley

Note:  We are not pursuing information for this line.  We are presenting this line only becasue we believe Pleasant Bowman (Mary's great-grandfather) has some connection to William H Bowman - a primary person in our research.  We are looking for proof of a link between the two men (and Pleasant's brother Septima Bowman).
