NOTES: BOWMAN: David and Dorothy's family are found in the 1850 Census for Daviess County, Missouri, taken Sept 4 1850
COREY: The surnames Cora, Cory and Corey have been recorded and interchanged within the family. It appears to be dependent upon the dialect, or accent of the area in which they lived. It is important to note that the varieties are used to reference members of the same family. David K Bowman may have had a brother named Arthur T Bowman and two sisters, one of whom may be Esther. This requires further research. Rachel Francis Cora/Corey Bowman - see below. Benjamin Lee "Junior" Smith married his 1st cousin Emma Lee (daughter of Henry Smith). It had been determiend while he was in the U.S. Army that he could not father a child. Emma Lee's two sons were from her 1st marriage. Junior and Emma Lee ran away together to Esparto, a small farm town in Yolo County, California to avoid the family's reaction to their marriage. It is in Esparto that they lived out their lives, both a buried in the cemetery there. Son Larry Bruce passed away before Junior, having suffered a heart attack, leaving a son and grandchildren, and his 2nd wife Linda. *Special Thanks to the following individuals for contributing to the ever-growing amount of family history on this web page.

Benjamin & Abigail Corey According to family elders, Abigail was a full-blooded Indian who was purchased by Benjamin and given the white name of Abigail. Her Indian name is unknown. The family says that Ben was not nice to Abigail and she ran away from him many times, causing him to go back to her Indian family to retrieve her time and time again. According to Rachel's Certificate of Death, her father Benjamin Corey was born in Vermont and her mother Abigail Newell was born in Ohio, along with at least her first three children. They are listed in the 1850 U.S. Census, Pike County, for Seal Townships:
Rachel was born December 29, 1950 in Ohio. Her mother would have been carrying her at the time the census was taken. The census was generally taken before inclement weather came, so Rachel would not have been listed. In the 1860 U.S. Census, the family is found residing in Mason County, IL, in Township 20 (Range 8, Bath PO), on Page 555

the face, resemblance to the photo of Rachel sitting, above right.

OBITUARY
- RACHEL FRANCIS COREY BOWMAN Rachel Francis Corey Bowman was born in Ohio, December 29 1850, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dora Castor, Louisburg, Kansas on November 14 1926, at the age of 75 years, 11 months, and 15 days. She was married to Atney Bowman Dec 24 1871 in Daviess County MO. To this union, eight children were born, all of whom are living. Mr. Bowman passed away at their home in Daviess County, where she remained until her family grew up. She has made her home with her children the past few years, as her health has been very poor. She had a stroke more than a year ago, the effects of which caused her death. She united with the Baptist Church at the age of 51 and her life was a spiritual uplift to all her associates. She is survived by her children, Mrs. Dora Castor, Louisburg, Kansas; Mrs. Nora Morgan, Lyons Colorado; Mrs. Ida Ray, Fortuna, Kansas; Mrs. Laura Ray, Jones, Oklahoma; Mrs. Sadie Smith, King City, Missouri; Mrs. Rebecca Pearl, Fairport, Missouri; Mr. Ashford Bowman, Fairport, Missouri; Mr. Lewis Bowman, Gothenburg, Nebraska; and one brother, Charlie Carey, Pattonsburg, Missouri. Besides these there are fifty grand children and twenty great grand children, and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Funeral services were conducted by the Reverends House and Miller, at the Muddy Creek church Nov 16th in the presence of a large audience of sorrowing friends, by whom she will be sadly missed. All the children were present at the funeral, except Mrs. Morgan and Lewis Bowman. * Obituary provided by Judy Steinman, great granddaughter of Rachel’s sister Nancy Corey Bowman. |
