Barb, thanks so much for the information on Michael and Lucy Keller Bowe. It was certainly helful, but sure left me with some unanswered questions. My great great grandfather Frank Bowe was born on August 22, 1882 in Wood Co., OH, so there is no way that his father was Michael Bowe, but have suspected that this was a possibility for sometime now. I do know that his mother is Lucy Ann Keller because some old family group sheets that my aunt did back in the late 1960s when Frank Bowe was still living show that his mother was Lucy Ann Keller and father Michael Bowe.
Other children that I have are:
1. John Bowe born abt. 1874 nothing else known except that he was on the 1880 Census living with his mother in his grandfather's household.
2. Edward Lewis Bowe b. May 21, 1876 married Lillie M. Unknown both are buried in Brandner Cem, Bradner, Wood Co., OH
1880 Federal Census for Scott Twp, Sandusky Co., Ohio.
Lucy A. Bowe age 29 lwith John A. Bowe age 6 son and Louis E. Bowe age 4 son. They were all enumerated with John A. Keller. Locate on page 12 of the census report.
