General Notes: Wife - Mary Ann Stevens

---

She was a pioneer Baptist; a cousin of the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, and a relative of Alexander Stevens, vice president of the Southern Confederacy.

While the Stevens family were living at Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, Mary, in company with another girl friend, visited the vicinity of Walk Chalk, Armstrong County, a place that had become the center of a large Bowser settlement. She was just fifteen years of age when she met her destiny in the person of Abram Bowser. He returned with her to the Stevens home in Beaver Falls and finally won her parents' consent to marry her.
