Mary's tombstone reads 1826 - 1919.  Census records (notoriously inaccurate, of course) from 1870, 1900 and 1910 support a birth year of 1827; 1880 records indicate a birth year of 1826.

Hancock County marriage license #1250 was issued at Carthage on January 13, 1848, to William Lovely and Mary R. Lincoln.  They were married on January 16th by J. Griffitt, a Catholic Priest from Nauvoo.  Note that on the license the Priest wrote Mary A. Lincoln.  Marriage License

William died between January and September 1852 (based on the birth date of the youngest Lovely child).  Burial location undetermined.

Only one of Mary and William's children would survive to adulthood:

i.	John Lovely, born between 1848 and 1851; his burial location is unknown, but it seems likely he was buried at St. Simon Cemetery (later known as the Lincoln or Lincoln Catholic Cemetery), Hancock County.
ii.	Mary Frances Lovely, born October 30, 1850*; died July 28, 1853.  Burial at St. Simon Cemetery.
iii.	William Henry Lovely (Jr), born September 28, 1852, in Hancock County; died July 16, 1937, in the same house in which he was born.  He was buried in Majorville Cemetery, Hancock County.

Mary Rowena married, second, Charles Newton Bowman.  McDonough County marriage license #1597 was issued at Macomb on April 15, 1861, to Charles N. Bowman and Mrs. Rowena Lovely. They were married on April 18th by Philipp Albraight, a Catholic Priest from Macomb.  Marriage License

Charles was born July 14, 1818, in Tennessee, perhaps in Jackson County.  He died September 6, 1904, at Macomb, McDonough County.  Burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.

It's hard to imagine the heartbreak in store for Mary Rowena and Charles.  Of their six children, the first and last survived to adulthood, the second didn't reach his twentieth year, three died in infancy:

i.	Anne Eliza Bowman, born April 23, 1862; died 1943; burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
ii.	Robert Lee Bowman, born May 7, 1864; died August 1, 1881 (date of death calculated from tombstone inscription.)  Burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
iii.	Rosa May Bowman, born January 16, 1867*; died February 17, 1867; burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
iv.	Emily N. Bowman, born July 17, 1868*; died December 20, 1870; burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
v.	Charles Newton Bowman, born January 1, 1870*; died January 24, 1870; burial at Sacred Heart Cemetery.
vi.	Thomas Edward Bowman, born September 24, 1871.  He died after July 16, 1937, perhaps in Montana.
