Sheila,
Anna's husband Henry Boggess is a first cousin of my ancestor Henry Boggess IV, who married Mary Ann Lindsay. Their grandson, Henry Boggess, married Catherine "Kitty" Pitzer in Marion Co., WV but (as I mentioned in an earlier message to Phillip Pitzer) I have not yet found that Catherine's line is related to Anna and Sarah's line. Do you know whether their two lines are connected?
Best wishes, John
Hi Sheila! I recognize several of your surname interests: BOWYER, CLAYPOOL, SHUCK, FLESHMAN, WHITE and OSBORN. So I'm pretty sure we have a connection somewhere!
My paternal great grandmother was Anna Mae Bowyer (1911-1996) married to James Elzie Thomas.
Anna Mae's parents were Earnest Russell Bowyer (1888-1970) and Ruby Stella Legg (1887-1974).
Earnest was the son of Sherman Grant Bowyer (1866-1934) and Mary Elizabeth Fleshman (1870-1951).
Sherman's parents were William Bowyer (1844-1914) and Amanda Margaret Shuck (1845-1916).
William was the son of Phillip Bowyer (1813-1884) and his 2nd wife Mary UNKNOWN (1809-1870).
Phillip was the son of Reuben Bowyer (1781-1820) and Mary Ann Reid (1778-1850).
Thats as far as I have. I hope we can find our connection!
