BOWERS, MILLER -
Hi: I'm looking for information on one children of Christine Bowers-Miller. Christine was born in Woodstock in 1825. In particular, I'm looking for the father of John Thomas Bowers, born in 1842 in Shenandoah County. If I get down that way I'll check church and "Bastard" files at the court house, you see I believe John was born out of wedlock. I'm writing to see if you have any other suggestions and they will be most welcome.
