Hi Guy,Jim,
There is a member on this site who posted some of that info a while back. I was searching all of them out when I ran into you at the Reevestown Cemetery. I visited many in that area and photographed them all. I was interested because of they are related to John Bowers who managed Howardsville and Sim Place.
Here is the post where she gave the info. This will go directly to her post in the thread and not start at the first post.

Hi Guy,
I know this post is from a decade ago, however I was just curious if you ever came upon pitcures/info in regards to John Bowers. I know he is listed in the census and I have read carolyns post, but I can't find any documents in regards to him actually managing either Sims or Howardsville. I have found John living at Cedar Bridge Tavern and the info being documented on the historical papers, but that's about it. Anymore info would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks,
Shannon Bowers

I know I'm sorry. I have only started working on my genealogy 2 years ago. But I am fascinated with my Bowers side .Unfortunately tho that side was never one for talking, nor pitcure taking. I couldn't speculate as to why, but I myself am so proud to say my 3rd gr grandfather from Germany came over and managed 1 of the cranberry farms that's started the cranberry business. I look at many websites in regards to the starting of the boys and there is never any mention of John, only of the owners. (Which is understandable) But I would think if he was in the area for over 50 years, I would find something. I thought woodland historical society would have something, but nothing. So I'm stuck and basically going by word of mouth. So again any info or lead would be greatly appreciated!Hello Shannon,
15 years is a long time. I will have to refresh my memory on all of this.
BTW, I personally know a relative of Catherine.
