PIONEER & PATRIOT FAMILIES 1913 Heverly Vol 1
Pg 83 1786 Jacob Bowman marriage to Mary Fox, dau of Rudolph Fox and Elizabeth (Miller). This was undoubtedly
the first marriage within the Towandas
Pg 99 The Bowmans(originally Bauman)
Jacob Bowman(Uncle) settled on the east side of Towanda Creek, opposite Mr. Fox, in or before 1775.
He was a Loyalist, and upon the breaking out of hostilities retired to Canada.
After the war his son(nephew) Jacob returned,purchased of the state & occupied the place until his death.
Pg 100 Jacob Bowman,
The latter, was a man of enterprise. he opened a house for public entertainment in 1801, and a little later
had a store, mill, ferry and distillery. "Bowmans" became a place of note, and was a favorite rendezvous
for raftsmen. Mr. Bowman did a flourishing business for several years, and at one time it was a question
whether he or his brother-in-law, William Means, would suceed in establishing the place of more importance.
HISTORY AND GEOG. 1615-1924 Heverly
Pg 219 In 1775, Jacob Bowman(Bauman) settled on the south side of the Creek. He was a loyalist
He retired to Canada and his son Jacob(nephew), joined the Indians and Tories.
The Foxes and Bowmans were the only white families within the Towandas before the Rev.War
Pg 221 Jacob Bowman, Jr (not Jr but a nephew) , a year or two after Mr. Fox's return ( In 1784) came on and occupied
the improvement commenced by his father (not father but an Uncle).Then a long paragraph on Jacob.

York Co,Pa where he died soon after the war.

1980's THE PALATINE FAMILIES OF NY by Henry Jones
1777,Jun 15 George Adam Bowman was serving in the Indian Dept, Corps of Rangers, at 4 shillings a day , with his
eldest son Jacob, brother Jacob, and his nephews Adam Bowman and Adam Wartman.
So our Towanda Flats Jacob has gone back to NY for the British. In 1779 George Adam was discharged
and went to Canada with seven children. ( Maybe also son Jacob, because we have no record of him
until he arrives at Towanda flats in abt 1884)
1995 HIST. of BRAD CO
1800 William Dougherty built a hotel - a house of entertainment in Powell & sold to Jacob Bowman who
in turn sold to David Gilbert and Harry Lindley. Pg 157 Village of Powell, 2 miles from Monroe a hotel built
in1800 was sold to Jacob Bowman - burned down.
1813 There were other Bowman's in the Co. Ebenezer, a lawyer, is one in Towanda
1890 Bowman's sawmill exploded and killed 3 men
2000 I have many pages of research from Harry Bowman, 2330 Morgan Dr Norman,Ok 73069, based on
research by Maryly B Penrose. Also there is a Bowman article in THE SETTLER, May 1981 and a
related article on "The Fox Chase" in Feb 1989
2003 Finally, with the 1776 tax info sited under Jacob Bowman b 1737/38 - I correct Heverly's assumption that Jacob of 1775 was the original settler. The Brad Co Jacob b 1759 was a NEPHEW, son of George Adam.
1878 CRAFT'S HISTORY OF BRADFORD CO
Jacob Bowman was also a pre-Revolutionary settler in Towanda, and returned to his land after the close of that struggle(this has proven to be his nephew). He received a warrant for a tract on the east side of Towanda creek, at its mouth, Feb. 1, 1793; the survey was made December, 1803, and the patent issued June 27, 1805. The field-notes of the survey show a mill on the point just above the island. An agreement was made between the Asylum company and Jacob Bowman, inn-keeper, Dec. 31, 1803, for the sale of a tract of land bounded by Jacob Bowman and Reuben Hale, it being a part of a tract surveyed to John Singer on a warrant dated July 1, 1784. John Singer was a millwright, and built the mill before mentioned previous to 1800. Rudolph Fox sold to Caspar Singer, May 21, 1792, a portion of the "Fox Chase." John Singer was a son of Caspar.

1972 Since the bible notes were kept by Francis Bowman, it is possible that the old man's pic. is Alonzo Mingos/Bowman.
The back of the picture is photographer Geo H Wood of Towanda. However I am labeling the picture Edward Mingos.

hand, with its loss, almost , in front of Petersburg,Va 2/6/1865; discharged on surgeons's certificate
The average soldiers pay in the Civil War was $13.00 per month. Why George and Edward went to Rochester is
a mystery. Bradsby's history.pg 247, says the 207th Pa Regiment was organized Sept 8th and there were men
from Bradford Co in Co's B,E and G.
1864,Sept 19 State of NY,Albany ,NY Mingas, Edward E Age, 20 years. Enlisted, at Rochester, to serve one

camps. Two engagements - Hatcher's Run & Hicksford 35 miles S of Petersburg. They made big fires. It was awful
cold, the wind went right through us. Hail and sleet which, with exerable roads and worn out shoes made our cup of misery full. The siege of Petersburg "Richmond Redeemed" by Richard Sommers,Pub 1981 thru 5th Offensive,Oct
1865,Feb 6/7 from the book 'Last Citadel'. It was bitterly cold, and we were soaked with rain, which froze and stiffened our
clothes.The rain changed to snow. Union losses in the Feb 5-7 actions 'Confederate and Union Lines near Hatcher's
Run' were 171 killed, 1181 wounded and 187 captured or missing.
1866, Jan EE Mingos to WW Decker July 1866 - arrived in Monroeton. Later Cornelia left her house to a Nellie Decker

Bowman & Susan Swartwood and reference to her grandparents Jacob Bowman and Sally Rockwell - another Rev War
connection - Ephraim Rockwell was in Rev War. 1850 census shows some of the children.

discharge his debt, EE Mingos paid $1. for the purpose of making a just distribution
1892,Sept 2 Francis L Bowman died, buried in Monroeton. The stones of she and Edward look alike.
Maybe purchased and placed together. Her date is engraved wrong -1888. Markie's field stone is
3 feet high and on the left rear of the plot. Alice Ellingsberg of North Dakota has done genealogies of
the Bowman's to Wilhelm Bauman b abt 1550 Bacharach,Germ., and of the Rockwells to William Rockwell,

This funeral business was a Mingos business earlier in the 1900's. Medical certificate signed by
O H Rockwell(Oscar) cause of death Pneumoconiosis Lobus . Fred witnessed the certificate
1916,Aug 22 Tuesday, Monroeton Enterprise Newspaper. I have a fading page, maybe Margaret,my
mother, got it for me with the death notice. EDWARD E MINGOS, Well Known Citizen Passed Away Last
Tuesday Evening " Edward E Mingos, a veteran of the civil war, died at his home on Main street at 7 o'clock
last Tuesday evening, following an illness of about ten days. Deceased was born at Liberty Corners
seventy -two years ago and spent his entire life as a resident of Monroe township and borough. He was a
member of Co H,188th NY Vol, having enlisted when about (20) seventeen years old. At Petersburg he
received a wound that deprived him of the use of the fingers on his left hand. Besides his widow he is
survived by one son - Fred E Mingos of Monroeton, and one brother - W H Mingos of Towanda. Funeral
services were held at the Mingos home at 2:30 Friday afternoon. Internment was in the Monroeton cemetery.
1916,Aug 29 Mrs E E Mingos was having a household sale Monroeton Enterprise newspaper
19XX Civil War Pension Index shows Susannah E Mingos widow of Edward E Mingos.
1920 census Suzie E Mingos age 73 Mt Holly Springs, Cumberland Co, Pa
1972 It is strange that my father, Henry, didn't remember anything. He was 16 yrs old
when Edward died. The only thing Henry said was there was a lady living with him in the 1900's.
In the1886 bible,which I have given to Carl Mingos in Lawrence, Ka, is an old man's picture which could be
Edward Mingos - Geo H Wood Photographer. It looks somewhat like Fred Mingos in his abt 1898 picture, but the jacket
is very old style. The notes in this bible are by Francis L Bowman Mingos, Edward's 1st wife.
Geo Wood d June 1903 Opened Photo business in 1852 Towanda . Sold business in 1867 and returned to photo business
in 1880 He is in 1883 Towanda bus dir. No word "& Co" on back of picture.
