Source Notes
- For the 1870 U.S. Census, no Bower (soundex - all spellings) can be located in Clarion Co. PA by the Ancestry.com search engine.
- Salem Lutheran Cemetery Assoc. records indicates a Bower daughter in addition to those sourced above to those records.
Conjecture
- Since so many families is the Clarion-Venango Counties border area migrated from Lehigh County, it is worth noting that Michael Brey, (whose daughter married Olive Bower's son), owned land in Upper Milford township, (in then Northampton, later Lehigh County) in 1806, near land of a Henry Bauer. Also a land transaction by one Joseph Klein in October of 1865 mentions land of the "late John Bower', in Salisbury township.
* 1880 U. S. census, Jackson Twp., Venango Co. PA, pg. 15. Date of census: 12th & 14th June 1880. Lines 43-45: Chalmer Karnes, age 28, farmer; wife Mary E. Karnes, age 28; "no name" Bower, age 7/12, female, relationship: "her neace". All & all parents born PA.
If the niece of Mary E. unknown (Karnes) is a Bower, she could possibly be Mary Bower, dau. of John Bower. She would be born about 1852. (Or she could be someone whose sister married a Bower.)
