Unsure if there could be any connection or not. There were two Nancy Bowers in my family line that I know of. One was not yet born at this time, the other was my gr-gr-grandmother Nancy W. Bowers. Her maiden name was Nancy W. Carey. She was married to David Corwin Bowers, but David died in 1876, so there is the possibility that Nancy remarried. I know that shortly after David's death she and her children moved to Delaware, where she had family. It is my guess that she is probably not the Nancy Bowers you are looking for, because I believe she was still in Delaware in 1880 living with a family with the last name Marbell. She was age 52 in 1880.
