Absalom Bowen NC to TN
I am looking for the parents of an Absalom Bowen that resided in North Carolina and moved to Cannon County, TN. He was born around 1784 and died around 1874. He was married to an Elizabeth and they had a son named John W. Bowen. His line to me is Absalom - John W. - James Richard - Claude H. - Horace W. - Christine - Joshua (Me). My goal is to find out if my Bowens are from Ireland or from Wales as the family immigrated from both areas. Any help would be great. I am stuck, as are a lot of others that I have come across in my family.
