General Notes: Husband - Henry Bowser

---

Brothers Valley Twp, Somerset Co, PA

Apparently, he and his family started on their trip down rivers and through forests to their Ohio home. Perhaps, like some others, they floated down the Ohio River on a raft to Cincinnati, then went by wagon toward Dayton. They located 36 miles northeast of Cincinnati and a few miles south of Dayton, near Springboro, Warren County. A Warren County deed, dated June 17, 1815, shows that Henry Bowser paid Benjamin Kell $3,480 for 174 acres of land between the Miami rivers. The family lived about a mile from the Little Miami River, and in dry seasons Henry watered his cattle there. He had a large orchard and dried much fruit. He took meat and other produce to Cincinnati to sell. It took one day to go and one to return.

He built a church on his place and preached until he went to Indiana. During protracted meetings people would come to Henry's house to sleep, usually lying on the floor on account of their number. The people were United Brethren. Wherever he went the house was crowded and a good meeting held.
