*\u00a0The History of Bedford, Somerset, & Fulton Counties, PA<\/em> (1884) has Peter Bowman as living and dying in Quemahoning Township, the only son of John S. Bowman, a native of Germany. The\u00a0Biographical Review Containing Life Sketches of Leading Citizens of Bedford & Somerset Counties, Pennsylvania\u00a0<\/em>(1889) V. 23, pp. 208-210, has Peter’s father as John J. Bowman (b. 1847), son of John & Mary Lohr Bowman, of Quemahoning Township. Peter’s paternal grandfather was Stephen was born in Germany and lived in Western Virginia. This Peter was born in VA in 1783 before moving to Quemahoning Township. Confusion among the various Johns, Jacobs, and Peters still reigns.<\/p>\n

@ Several siblings died in 1884. Could this have been an epidemic?<\/p>\n

# Some sources list a Thomas with these dates. Could Jacob and\/or Franklin have been a middle name?<\/p>\n

+ One source has William buried in the Weller Cemetery<\/a>, Somerset County.<\/p>\n
