    I found you Debbie! I'm still trying to break through this brick wall of who Elizabeth"Betsy"Wilson's parents were back in Sussex Co.,DE. Betsy was married to Daniel Hearn at some point in Sussex Co.,DE. They moved to Washington Co.,OH. circa 1810 from Sussex Co.,DE. I have a feeling that Betsy was Daniel Hearn's second wife.Daniel Hearn had a total of 15 children. I descend from their daughter Nancy Ann Hearn who married James William Bowie 21 May 1842 in Washington Co.,OH.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi every one, Pam Drake and I are Bowie cousins. I also have my Thomas Mullinix in Sackett Creek, Ludlow Twp. Washington County, Ohio. He married Mary A. Smith on 4 Feb 1817. She is from N.J. and he was from Fred. County, MD. I was told he was one of the first to move to Ohio. But his last name was misspelled.

    It's official - the Campus Martius and Ohio River museums are under the management of a local organization formed earlier this year specifically to keep their doors open.
