I have a Jacob Dowers born 1728. He married Mary Jane Brown.Their son Jacob Jr. was born Feb.6, 1760, Philadelphia, PA., married Elizabeth ______.The other son Conrad was born Aug.1764, Philadelphia, PA., married Mary Shields. We have no information on Jacob Sr.'s siblings or parents.Do you have any information on a possible connection with your Edward Dowers??
Your Edward Dowers was also a Captain of the ship Bolton, who sold cloth, pins, tea, and indentured servants on Water Street in Philadelphia.His activities were reported in Ben Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette, entries in 1743, 1744,1745, 1747. I also have a John Dowers of Arch Street, married Mary Thornhill at Christ Church, Philadelphia, April 31, 1764.I don't have, however, anything to connect my Jacob and Conrad to any of them.I would appreciate any information you can share with me.
