Please note: Other than listing the children of Henry and Isabelle (plus their basic information), 
we are not actively pursuing lineage of their descendants at this time. If a descendant steps forward 
with data, documentation and photos, we will gladly add it, but we are not currently researching this line.
This basic data was added becasue of the connection of Henry Sipes to Hannah Alice Bowman (primary line of research).
