General Notes: Husband - Henry P. Bowser

---

He was an extensive land owner and successful farmer. He resides one and a half miles northwest of Hopewell, and two miles from the John Bowser homestead on "Yellow Creek."

His father told him that his (Henry's) great-grandfather came "from Germany"; that he brought parts of a wagon and farming implements with him from the old country, and that he was wealthy. Some of his ancestors were in the Revolutionary War. His great-grandfather, whom he believes was Mathias, made frequent trips to Philadelphia for supplies.
