My Grandfather is Carl Sowers. He grew up in West Branch Michigan to the best of knowledge. I am looking into my family. If you can give me any information I would really appreciate it! Thanks

Gr. Grandfather was Curtis J. Sowers. Born 1872, in Ohio. Father Albert(?). left Ohio at 19, went to Washington St. I'm looking for anyone related to him. I believe he was the eldest so possible he had younger siblings.

My great, great grandmother was Phoebe Sowers or Phebe Ann Sowers. I believe the family lived somewhere in eastern Ohio. She married George Sigman and they had a daughther Laura Ann Sigman, born July 5, 1878. I am still searching for more information on the Sowers name in Ohio. Will be glad to share information.

b. garmany

if so please contact me ar pamir@webtv.net as i have info to share

might be able to help... I am relation to Commodore Sowers in southern ohio.....

I have some knowledge of this Phoebe, daughter of John George Sowers and wife
Elizabeth Hedrick. Many of this Sowers family are buried near Kingman in Fountain Co IN. Contact me with specific question.

If the John G. Sowers/Elizabeth Hedrick Sowers are the people you are researching
he was the son of Johann Phillipus Sauer and Christina Faust of Davidson County N. C.
John Phillip and Cristina had 14 children some of which moved to other parts of the USA.
John George and Elizabeth moved to Indiana and is indeed buried in Harveysburg Cemetery,
one mile west of Kingman. There are two large books on this family at the Davidson County
N.C. If I can be of further help please e-mail. My grandmother came from this family.

Not much is known about my Grandfather's family. In a letter my Grandmother wrote she mentions an Aunt Phoebe. My Grandfather's mother's name was Ruby May Sowers born November 12, 1887 in Norris, IL and died December 31, 1969. I do not know Aunt Phoebe's last name. Ruby's parent's were Emma Baylor and John Sowers. Family photo's are in various parts of the state mentioning Indiana and Illinois another family photo links Cincinnati, Ohio. Hope you can help. My e-mail address is jobearsact@myfamily.com Thank You.

Amanda,

I would love to exchange information with you on this family! I am a descendant of John George (George) and Elizabeth through their son, Solomon; his son, Lindsey (Linsey); his son, Guy and his daughter, Sarah Sowers Holt.

I'm trying to determine if their were 8, 9 or 10 children. The possible names I have are:
Mary Sowers Bracken - b. 1804
Solomon Sowers - b. 1805
Jacob Sowers - b. 1807
Christina Sowers Newnum - b. 1811
Peter Sulovan Sowers - b. 1812
Phebe Sowers Hendricks - b. 1814
Jefferson Sowers - b. 1816
Alfred Sowers - b. 1819
Emaline Sowers Gillum - b. 1821
Alexander Sowers - b. 1823

#4 (Jacob) and #6 (Peter Sulovan) seem to be the two children that differ from one source to another.

I will be glad to share what I can get for you on this.
We may want to e-mail this info. Address as follows:

Sorry, I don't have any George Sowers or Elizabeth Hedrick that match your dates or place. Have you tried Randy Regan or Richard Cottrell who have much more Sowers and Hedrick information than I have?

Just wanted to touch base with you as we are distant relatives, I come from John Sowers line, The first son of Phillip and Christiana Faust, Write sometime, we can compare notes, I am looking for a passenger list for the two brothers ship for September 14, 1749. This is supposed to be the ship Phillip came to this country on.

I am working on a SOWERS Library at http://www.geocities.com/zoomastr/sowerslibrary.htm
it's in the early stages because it is hard to find info on SOWERS but I have some stuff there...
Sonia

Donna, I am gr gr great grand daughter of Jacob Sowers, brother to your John. I have heard that Phillip arrived on
the "Two Brothers" also. Have not found the passenger list
yet either. Will do further research. I still live in Lexington, NC. There are two big volumes on the Sowers at the public library. Most of the information is on the Sowers that stayed around here. Keep in touch.
Amanda
