Then Jethro and Atlanta 's son Jeptha birth dte unkown but died July 9, 17076 in Worcester Co., Md.(the
area that they lived in was Somerset Co. Md to begin with, now it is known as Worcestor Co.) He married
Catherine Truitt d/o of Pattey Trutt and Rachel Jenkins. Patey's father was operator of ships that brought
immigrants to America and he married one of the passengers. Sarah Watson and second wife was Frances Graves. They had children: Lemuel who married Rhoda Cropper(she had married before to a Porter
prior to coming to Adams Co., Ohio), Benjamin, Jenkins H. married Sally Davis, Patty married William P.
Cropper(you notice Patty Truitt was a male and Jephra named a dau, Patty), Henrietta married William Richards,
John, Lottie married AJames Hammond, Kendall, and Nancy
And of course Kendall(Lemuel's son) married Elizabeth Parker, d/o Christopher Parker and Sarah Hanover
If you want more on the Truitts, Hanover and Parkers will send. But I don't have further on the first William
Bowen. There are other families that married into the Bowen line such as FAssitt, Hudson, Powell, Purnell,
Tingle and Berry, Patty. Some of the Truitt families came to Ohio, but think the others stayed in and around
