From: Ronray222@aol.comDescendent of : Henry Harrison & (Green Bowen> Eliza Anna Green Bowen
My Most Wanted Bowen : Henry H. Bowen who was married to Mary Ann Druso
Hello Ben - nice to meet you too. I found this page by accessing USGenweb and punching in the Bowen name. Yes, that would be my great grandmother - Eliza Anna Bowen. I was not sure of the year or the state she was born in. I just recently found out who my great grandfather and great grandmother were (Henry Harrison & Eliza Anna Bowen) and just recently received my great grandfathers military and pension records from the archives in Washington D.C. My great grandfather was a Union soldier with the 39th Ill. volunteers and was wounded May 16, 1864 at Drury's Bluff, Va. (we just recently visited the sight) he was captured and taken prisoner and held in Andersonville prison for 7 months. From the pension papers we found out who my great grandmother was. Also his death certificate stated his father's name was Henry H. Bowen and his mother's name was Mary Ann Druso.
I also am interested in receiving any and all of your information on Eliza Bowen's mother and father.
How was she descended from Elizabeth Fabor and Green Bowen? Also in your information you say Green was the son of Joshua Bowen and Margaret Cobb. I like I say have just recently found out who Eliza Anna Green is and have no more information than you have but would love to share what I do have and what my Mother, who is 77 years old , may remember but until we received the infomation from the archives she did not even know who her great grandfather and great grandmother were.I am going to start on my Mother's side of the family tree. I just recently finished my father's side, taking six years to do so to find out my great grandfather changed my surname from Abney to Abner. My Mother and the rest of my small family of Bowen's would greatly appreciate any help and information you can give on our family.

Hello Ben,
Descendent of : Green and Mary Elizabeth Fabor Bowen>> Green Jr and Elmira Bowen>>(Lee)David Bowen and Leona Carter Bowen>>Floyd Lee Bowen and Ruth Hart Bowen:The story is that something happened to her that caused the children to be moved to live with other family members. Know nothing about her birth or death or maiden name.
Just stopping by to introduce myself! My name is Carlyn Bowen White and I am a descendant of Green Bowen through his son Green, who was my great grandfather.
My father was Floyd Lee Bowen, son of Lee David Bowen, who himself was a son of Green, Jr. My mother was Ruth Hart. They are both deceased now.. I am a singer, as were both my parents. I have 4 other siblings, two sisters and two brothers. Three of them are red-headed.They live in Colorado and Texas. I am 43 years old. I have been corresponding with James Bowen in Ca., and he sent me yourwebsite. I am so GLAD to have found some descendants of Green Bowen! A couple of years ago I entered him in the Most Wanted site on Aol's Gen Forum.It's been about a year since James found me. I will bookmark your site and return often, because I want to see all your pics!Take care!
Sincerely, Carlyn Bowen White JClellan@aol.com
