Info needed for Albert Bowman, Sr. of KY
Looking for more information on an Albert Bowman, Sr. from Kentucky (Trimble County comes up quite a bit, as does Jefferson County and Lakeland).He was born February 14, 1863 and died on April 2, 1939.He married Martha Dews on October 18, 1886, and they had three children: Pauline Bowman Chapman (born November 13, 1896 & died in 1937), David (born October 1887), and Harry Bowman (born January 14, 1891 and died October 17, 1964).Albert then remarried a woman named Dora Colbert Sachleben on February 2, 1909, and they had two children: Mildred Jones (born October 21, 1912 and died January, 1981) and Albert Jr. (born January 15, 1910).
According to the 1900 Census of Trimble County, Kentucky, Albert (who's name is listed as Allen in it) says that his father was born in Scotland and his mother in Virginia.
I would dearly love to find out who Albert Bowman, Sr.'s father was, so that I can trace him to Scotland.As you probably know, the 1890 Census was destroyed and the family isn't mentioned in the 1880 Census.Kentucky doesn't have records on hand for Albert, Sr.'s birth, in 1836, as they weren't required to do so.
I'm at a standstill!!Please help if you have anything to offer!
Thanks!
Kelly
