Following the death of her father in 1781, in a partial settlement dated
Nov. 8, 1782, it is recorded that Anna is married to Henry Bower and is
residing in Shenandoah Co., VA. A search of the online records for Shenandoah
County identified numerous Bower and Bowers families, but they were all
19th and 20th century entries, with one exception. In the 1783 tax list,
a Henry Bower is listed, along with Christian Bower. Chistian was born
in 1736, died in 1815 and is buried Solomons Church Cemetery, Forestville.
Possibly, Christian might have Henry's brother. Other than this single
reference to Henry, I was unable to find any other record of him.
