I am also looking for Mary Bowers, born in 1809- died in 1872. Mary is my 3rd Great Grandmother. She married Simon Alphonse Ryder, b. 1810, d. 1872. They settled in Buckeye, Rapides Parish, in Central Louisiana. They came from Ireland, sailed from Liverpool England to New Orleans.
They originated from Co. West Meath, in Ireland.
If anyone has any info on these families, please let me know! All of my families have been accounted for their past but these.
Thank you, Susan
