General Notes: Husband - John Bowser

---

It seems probable that John Bowser of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was a brother or a close relative of Mathias Bowser, Sr.
He moved from Lancaster to Cumberland County, thence to Bedford County.
The first record of any Bowser in Bedford County, after the creation of the county in 1771, is the name of John Bowser, Bedford Township, 1772, a taxable with 100 acres of land, 2 horses and 1 cow. In 1774 he had 150 acres.
In a deed by "Miller" John Bowser (a grandson of John Bowser) of Colerain Township, to Adam Fink, the deed says: "70¾ acres thereof being a part of a tract surveyed in pursuance of a warrant dated January 13, 1774, and for which Thomas and John Penn esquires, then proprietors, of Pennsylvania, granted their patent to John Bowser, October 12, 1774."
