• Notes

  In the individual record for Moses Bowen at ancestry.com it states that he and Rebecca emigrated from Wales to Pennsylvania before later moving to Virginia. It also says that Moses' place of death was Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania Thats me to wonder if his wife moved to VA after his death, if he returned to Chester Co, PA or if the death place is incorrect.
